Oh. Dear. God. Not another tinfoil-hat smart-meter hate thread.

Look, I design them for a living. No, they won't hurt you. Yes, you are anonymous. No, people can't spy on you through the electric/gas/water meter.

Any questions?

Yes, I have questions.
Do these meters allow the utility to read a user’s power consumption at any time? (seems like that’s the point)

Do these meters allow the utility to turn a user’s power off remotely? (not just the ones you work on, but in general)
