thank you for this post. i’ve been fighting pg&e smart meters since their inception. and yes they are now trying to shake us down for an “opt out” fee. i actually had to stand in the way of my fenced off and locked analog meter to keep one from being installed.
I suggest that they should shut off your electricity!!

You are lucky. Where I live we had no option, looked out one day and the power co. were installing the new meter. And now I learn we will be paying what they call, ‘peak power”. April first, from nine cent per kilowatt to twenty seven cent per kilowatt from the hours of four PM to twelve midnight.
We are part of TVA which uses coal fired power plants. Obrainless has ordered all Coal fired plants closed within the next two years. I suppose we will have to learn to crawl onto a rock to stay warm during the Winter months, and find a cave to stay cool in the Summer?
