I noticed how they never mentioned once that your SmartMeter will turn off things such as air conditioners during peak hours of the day and where I live it gets up to 113 in the summer - sometimes for 10 to 14 days in a row and hovers at 98 all night - and I run a business out of my home. Having a SmartMeter that someone else is controlling for my home just doesn't make sense. And, what about my neighbor that is on oxygen? Having a SmartMeter could kill her because it could shut her off for hours. The idea is great but there needs to be a lot more research into these types of things before everyone is forced to have and use one. Saving the environment is fine and good but what about those of us that aren't your run of the mill households?
