Re: smart metres
I agree.
As 'Gerry' said:
"It's all about energy rationing at peak times because there won't be enough generating capacity as older power stations are decommissioned"
and I'd add that the more electric cars people buy, the more our generating capacity will be strained, especially as we are not building new nuclear power stations, but relying on windy days - but not too windy because the windmills are turned off when it's too windy!
I think it's what they call 'planning'!
This is not only feasible, but likely.
Surely, no-one believes that they are going to all this trouble just so that we can see how much energy we are using!
I know how much energy I am using due to two indicators:
- I know which of my appliances use the most power; and
- I can tell from my bills how much I'm using.
Smart meters are an enormous con, and I shall resist them for as long as I can.
