Well now, it seems the ‘smart meters’ weren’t just about efficiency and saving money with meter readers after all...

So in other words, if you live in CA or some other liberal cesspool that can’t manage their power grid, prepare for warm beer in the summer. Right?

This could end up with a lot of sour milk.

Once the coal plants are gone, the Smart Grid is the only thing that is going to keep the lights on 24/7. Remote control of large household loads or rolling blackouts—that’s your choice.

Or we could keep burning coal like intelligent, civilized people! But our leftist masters don’t like that and we’re too lazy to hang them from lampposts. Yet.

$9 per month if I want to opt out of the smart meter and that’s before they’ve even started installing them here. Give them a few years and I’m sure they’ll quickly hit $20 or $30 per month to opt out.

F no.

My refrigerator is my highest user of electricity. The whole point of being in a First World Country is to be able to store food safely.

When the power goes out the prime needs are to run either the furnace or the refrigerator along with some minor lighting at night.

I'd rather have a switch where I could cut off power for the government.

The EPA is unconstitutional, there is no authority in the US Constitution for the EPA it should therefore be abolished.

At the first opportunity, sue them for any spoiled food or food poisoning.
I already have a fridge that's supposed to be energy efficient.
Cutting power ruins the whole purpose - keeping food safe.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the EPA and everything to with me being a damned skinflint:

I’ve already got the fridge thermostat set as warm as I can and still keep stuff frozen in the freezer section.

Any further monkeying by anybody will result in thawing of stuff that shouldn’t.

The EPA can go screw themselves mightily.

The article keeps disappearing as soon as I click on it which I’ve done many times, so could you please at least tell me if this applies to new purchase refrigerators or also to old ones?
