So now we'll have to get these SMART meters so the government can shut off our power whenever they see fit. How much you want to bet that this won't apply to the "ruling class". Do you think Gore's mansion will be subject to rolling blackouts?

I feel bad for the poor senior citizen who can't take the heat or cold during these "power interruptions".

They've always been able to do that.

Like if you're a registered republican.

Our bills just went up to cover the cost of these new smart,energy-saving meters!!!!

The only way these things can save energy is by limiting the customers' use.

Just wait until the smart WATER meters that monitor how many showers,baths,and toilet flushings occur in your home!!!!

These system "improvements" are much more about controlling the people than saving money.

There will be many exemptions and exclusions for having your power turned off. Ultimately only you and I will be the only two people that have our power shut off.

But that is OK for me becuase I just bought a 37KW generator. I’m good. Don’t worry about me.
