Its not about YOU
Wrong end of stick grabbed here it seems. Smart Meters aren't about You, they are about the Grid. They're about ensuring future supplies don't have to be bought from the russians.

Stop being so paranoid about it.
You'll be gagging to get one once the brown-outs begin and you can't use your USB coffee warmers.
