Just been reading an article saying that smart meters will be costing the consumer around £215 per year and saving them just 3% per year over a 15 year period!
over the next 15 years the savings will be far greater than the costs without any one reducing there consumption they should deduct the money already set aside to do the "normal" meter changes that would happen anyway but will now be smart meters they need to also factor in the wage cost saved with most meter readers not required when the gas meters follow suit
Government's good at introducing things that we have to pay for though. Smart meters where the cost of installing them is passed on to us through higher bills. Energy saving schemes like the feed in tariffs for solar panels. Guess who pays the feed in tariffs? Yep, US, the consumers through higher bills. The energy companies pay the rebates to those with solar panels by charging us without them, more for the same bloody energy. Grrrrrrrr, makes my blood boil.
I wonder how many unemployed meter readers there will be when everyone has a smart meter? More benefits for the the tax payers to contribute towards.
