Every British home is to be issued with a ‘smart’ meter which calculates how much gas or electricity is used each time an appliance is switched on.
Families will also know how much they are spending minute-by-minute.
Guess who's behind this intrusive clap trap.
Now don't believe that the government wont have some input to the data. In the interest of "its energy strategy", or some other fatuous excuse.
Time to invest in a Large Hadron Collider, then turn it on and off at random intervals.

Details will be announced by the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband this week.
And it gets far worse.
Mobile phone technology will be used to transmit information on each family’s energy consumption to a central ‘hub’.

These smart meters can do far more than the government is letting on.
ReplyDeleteYou can be sure that they'll have the same capabilities of those that Obama's planning to have installed.
Via these meters, electricity companies and councils will be able to control (remotely) the amount of electricity we use.
They can log the time of day you use the most electricty.
Whose to say that they won't be able to adjust the Tarriff when you're not looking.
ReplyDeleteHow many elderly are going to have their supply cut off due to a mistake in their billing?
I managed to track down the spec of the smart meters - which I've posted on my blog.
ReplyDeleteVery Orwellian.
