I see..it's partly stories of 'health concerns' like fluoride in the drinking water, and partly concerns about 'intrusive technology' re: Big Brother, etc.

How am I supposed to *know* ahead of time whether a smart meter will be fair, hurt me, do nasty stuff to my home wiring or cause my cat to become epileptic? How much trouble will it be for me to 'stop them'? And who is sure who is right? I can't opt out of HAVING a meter.

I HATE dilemmas like this!
