Smarter than the meter

Every house to have gas and electricity 'smart' meter by 2020... but homeowners will have to foot the bill

What a great idea to let a bunch of climate change believers control how hot your house is. Presumably this wonder technology will allow them to control your thermostat and remotely turn off your energy supply if you displease them or refuse to take an ID card or chip. A corporation or a government snooper will be able to see in real time how much energy you're using in your house. Maybe they'll have someone who can pop in and turn the TV off if you've left it on while you're in the bath.

Another example of the whole 'global warming' agenda is about. It's about corporations making money, in this case an estimated £7 bn, courtesy of the government who make you the taxpayer cough up for the new technology that will control you.

When did you vote for this one? Whose manifesto was it in? We should always be smarter than the meter.
