Yeah, it’s quite the scam. The charge is only to exert some force to get folks to use them. No incremental expense is incurred for having someone read it.

Think about it, before the meters, they had to send people out to read ALL of them.

So as long as SOME saps get the smart meters, they cost to read the remainder DECREASES!

They barely teach 2 + 2. Esp. in Blue cities/states. Nor reading or writing, critical thinking os a no-no.

The amazing part to me is that this is not a surprise. Everyone knew that “green” energy is not remotely sufficient to power an entire nation’s economy. But they did it anyway. They are legislating their way back to the Stone Age. What are they supposed to do now that coal and oil based power have been shut off? Go back to burning wood?

Among other things the rest of the West is killing itself with Gaia Worship. America has a huge competitive advantage in having an administration that refuses to commit economic suicide by subscribing to this religion. I expect a lot of investment money will flow into the US as a result.

predictable indeed ... everyone paying attention with a modicum of common sense and a grasp of middle school mathematics has been predicting this ... the Dutch got the government they voted for, good and hard ...

The hypocrisy of the left never fails to amuse. During the plandemic the left insisted, nay screamed that we must follow the science, follow the numbers.

Now when confronted with numbers that correctly show that there is no number of windmills, no number of solar panels, no amount of battery storage that can meet the energy needs of the USA 24x7, they insist that the numbers are fallacious.

It is depressing to observe the level of stupidity in our society today.

We told you so! And the result? A few very powerful people got richer, and the poor have to foot the bill while at the same time being told how much electricity they can consume.

A Godless nation in a Godless supranational union.

It deserves whatever bad comes its way.

Europe is currently experiencing a heat wave and with temperatures soaring into the 90s the lack of air conditioning could cause many deaths especially among the elderly. Europeans have not embraced air conditioning as in the US and their fragile electric grid wouldn’t support air conditioning either. I guess part of the green revolution is to reduce the surplus population.

The “climate change” hoax is strong evidence for human devolution.

It would have happened here in USA if Kamala Harris had won the election last November.

Norway and Iceland gets away with Green stuff because they're using hydroelectric.
