I'm glad I've resisted the installation of the so called "smart" meter.

One of my major rules: If industry says something new is a good idea, and the government says it's a good idea, it's almost a guarantee that it is no good for the average person.

The only time those two groups agree on something is when they both know it will make them money or makes their jobs easier, at the expense of the little guy.

Cynical and paranoid? Maybe. But I'd say history backs me up on this.
