So as long as you want to pay $$90 a year just for sport it’s your choice. If you had Solar it is all good and bill goes to 12.50 a month no matter how much the KWH charges ever go UP to. All the smart meters do is send the information over cell or internet instead of having someone come out to premises on regular basis. I am sure some will add some bogus information on a website. Another disadvantage people have by not adding solar and wind to a grid-tie system is sooner or later power companies will fluctuate the cost per KWH according to peak load times. Fun fun fun. I have never regretted getting 30% Tax Credit ( cash in pocket or reduce cost of system ) and having the $250-300 a month bill become $12.50.

I been tinkering with electricity since diapers. Solar cell at about 5 yrs old. Been fascinated with machines and electronics ever since. Maybe dad’s input on how to avoid getting ZAPPED etc was good for my family and I.
