Meter doesn’t belong to her, any more than the transformer. Utility can’t be expected to maintain obsolete equipment just because some lady has an irrational fear of modern technology.
Utility can’t be expected to abide by decades long mutual agreements just because some lady doesn’t want to accept their new deal without negotiation.
You are clueless.
She is right .
The power company or the Dem or Big Brother hacks can run and rule over your life .
They can cut your AC or heat without notifying you for any reason .
You want Big brother running your life..
Do you work for the power company ?
She has a fear of being snooped upon ,, maybe not today but as all her appliances ,, everything from toasters and AC ,, to her TV and refrig will as they are replaced be reporting to somebody every action she takes and every show she watches... This will lead to higher electric rates and control over your actions... it’s a foot in the door from a public utility that we can’t live without.. I have no problem with remote meter reading but this is a constant surveillance device.
I think you better fear technology because it is a threat to privacy and our freedom. Technology is just another way for the liberals to run your life. Soon, to save us from Climate Change, you will have to wash your dishes and clothes in the middle of the night. This can be easily monitored through the smart meter. Maybe they can connect your meter to Facebook so everyone can tell the world when they are doing a wash. Next, they will have smart water meters that will be able to tell when you are taking a dump.
