Devised by utilities as a way to save energy, cut monthly bills and even reduce carbon emissions, "smart meters" that give more accurate data about a home's electricity use are facing a backlash in communities across the country.
Some residents are now blaming the devices for health problems or fires, and say their two-way communications ability will allow utilities and the government to snoop on them.
These fears have forced some states to allow people to "opt-out" of the smart meter program, which supporters say will actually make them less effective in the long-run to yield environmental benefits.
Hi friends,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog. This electricity meter provide power companies with an accurate and streamlined method of monitoring, reading and controlling a home's power usage. It would be great if you can provide more details about it. Thank you.
