I pay $10 a month to opt out of Smart Meters here in Maryland. There are lots of stories here of people getting radically more expensive utility bills and there’s no real method to get it fixed.

Yeah, the electromechanical meters can raise your utility bill, because it loses accuracy as it ages. Unlike an electronic meter.

People like you are the problem. I hope they raise your "opt-out" fee.

People like you are the problem.

No it is people like you that have respect for privacy are the problem. I bet you posted on Facebook what you had for breakfast this morning.

I’m really glad that sanctimonious know it alls like you proceed to tell me how to live my life.

As an American, I can and should be free to make my own determination on how to live my life and what choices I make. Not you.

If you’d bother to ask, I would have told you that my utility also installed a new legacy meter, which although not connected to the smart meter system is accurate.

But, you seem to know more than me.
