Re: If smart electricity meters can save electricity,
AC, you forgot the main reason for them to be able to shut off the supply - demand side control for when the country is getting almost all of its electricity from unreliable renewables and the wind isn't blowing and the sun is obscured. Rolling blackouts will be the norm with fine control because of the 'smart' meters. The country running on unreliables is the aim implied by the 2008 climate change act.
