What “Smart Meters” are really all about
“Smart meters” aren't about saving power; they're about government control. Witness the latest from Johannesburg, South Africa where authorities are pleading with residents “not to panic” when power is shut off to households that are consuming more than their fair share of electricity.
Load Limiting is a technology that enables City Power to accurately identify and ascertain household consumption in real time in relation to the available generating capacity.
The deployment of load limiting will enable City Power to remotely disconnect households that don’t comply with requests to reduce consumption, remotely using smart meters.
Households that have an excessive consumption would experience repetitive disconnections at five minute intervals for a period of 30 seconds until they have reduced their consumption to required levels.
Should they fail to abide by instructions to reduce consumption, non-compliant residents will be disconnected remotely via smart meters.
I would encourage every American to reject smart meters, no matter how tempting the incentive from your local power company.
