Smart Meters Being Fitted Too Slowly

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It is rather odd, isn’t it, that in an age where we can speak at length on a visual phone without charge to someone on the other side of the world, and when we can have our metatdata examined by rows of spooks, have our credit information accessed and read by anyone who wants to and trace a car that has been parked on land without permission in order to levy some kind of fine, that we must treat our energy use being metered in ways set seventy years ago using very little of modern technology.

There is a government scheme to allow electricity and gas meters to be read remotely and allow the people who buy the energy to see accurately how much they use and that will enable people to budget, use less energy, and avoid making interest free loans to the energy companies who profit because they do not send people to read meters, but estimate the usage, o perhaps more accurately over estimate the usage.

For some reason the process of fitting what are called “smart meters” (I prefer to call them “honest” meters) is taking an inordinate amount of time and seems to be costing an inordinate amount of money.

It strikes me that it is in the interests of the energy oligarchy to delay fitting these honest meters and very much against the interest of the environment which would benefit by less energy use because there would be fewer greenhouse gas emissions and less particulate pollution.
