“The real problem is the smart meter. Your entire house will be throtteld so that those in charge can remain nice and comfy.”

You can’t throttle electric power at the meter. Either power is on, or it’s off. So you still may be right, in that if you ‘somehow’ draw more power above your allocation at the time, they could simply shut off your house at the meter. Fair point!

Yeah, it’s a mid-day turn off. The power company by me put smart meters out and said you could join their energy conserving program whereby on exceptionally high load days, they may cut off your power for an hour or so. The theory being most people at office or what not.

I said no thanks!
