Re: Which is worse ...
Really, as far as the home consumer is concerned I cannot see ANY cost benefit to smart meters.
The benefits that there are are for the companies because they do not have to pay for the meters to get read and they can get a more detailed breakdown of consumption.
The only possible benefic for people at home is that they do not have the hassle of a meter reader.
I think i only looked at my "smart meter" display a couple of times when it was installed. Never looked at it since then.
My fridge, washing machine, boiler will use exactly the same amout of power wither i have a smar meter or not!
I have NO idea how the Goverment works out that people will use LESS power when they have a smark meter installed?
