"SMART METERS WILL BRING MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL
2010 Mar 31 from Clark Thurlo
My natural gas utility company has already installed one of these new “smart meters” on my house here in California. My electrical service is scheduled to get one soon. I received a brochure in the mail, which expounds the wonders and advantages of this new technology. One section reads, “Accurately track which appliances or other equipment are costing you the most. Then make changes, at your discretion, to help make your home more energy efficient.” Of course, this is exactly how they’re ushering in government control over the temperature in your home. The smart meters allow your utility company to individually control your appliances. Initially, the control is in the hands of the home owner. Then the inevitable rolling black-outs and brown-outs appear, followed by permanent limits on the amount of time you can run your heater or A/C. Obama had referred to this during his campaign, something along the lines of “we won’t be able to keep our thermostats at 72 degrees anymore.” How long until reality surpasses the imagination of George Orwell?"
