No, I am already frugual and turn off or unplug whatever I’m not using. This smacks of control and rationing to come soon and I don’t like the idea of someone constantly monitoring me.

I’ve also learned about AGENDA 21 (“Sustainability” and the U.N. and the CLUB of ROME (Rockefellers) and the upcoming global government. They want to make sure we’re heavily controlled and rationed and I don’t like that idea at all.

This is technology both Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had.

Bruce you make a great point about consumer demand for smart grid technology. If you do a search on YouTube for smart meter videos you will see a lot of distraught customers in the trials you mentioned. I would go as far to say mass paranoia is the state of the average consumer.

In an interview with Andrew Heath, a utilities expert at Esource, we found that there is a long road ahead for communicating the benefits and dispelling the fears of consumers. The interview is available on our blog for those who are interested:

Bruce Bigelow’s synopsis of “smart meters” is excellent and clears up most of the misconceptions I had about them. PG & E should have him write their next brochure. As a recent recipient of a new smart meter, I had a ton of questions to the fellow installing my meter. He knew less than I did. The installer suggested I call PG&E and they will give me a more detailed explanation. That person knew less than the installer! Bruce, thanks for clearing the air about the new meters.

It is good to hear that there are some trainings about the smart grid technology for the professionals. But the most important part of this technology is the gap between the consumers and the technology. There must be some informative sessions for the users to make them benefit from the technology. I really liked the article and bookmark it.
