If it were forced upon me, I’d probably discontinue my relationship with the power company, and force them to take their property with them. I’d power my home in some other way.
All the alleged “Smart Meter” does is send the readings to the power company instead of a meter reader once a month. What is it you think the “Smart Meter” does?
Granted they know your useage in current time opposed to once a month, but so what.
I think this stuff about “Smart Meter” is contrived tin foil hat crap. Only negative thing I can see about it is some poor guy/gal lost their meter reading job.
Well if you have natural gas and can afford it, you can always go with your own generator and opt out of the system, just be prepared to spend the money on maintenance,repair and replacement as I don’t believe the systems are rated for non stop year round use.
Good luck with that.

I just came home one day and it was there ... couple months later new Gas Meter too
But option “B” (as you mentioned) is in my prep plan anyway
TT

And that is your only choice. The power company owns and has a legal right to access everything up to and including the power meter. If you interfere with that, you are breaking the law. You can avoid it if you forgo power service, that’s the only way.
