PGE was at my place on Monday to install the Smart Meter. I told him no. He said Ok, they will be back. I asked him who else will have them installed today. Nobody in my close neighborhood. I said why only my place- he said "I don't know" (I am the only one without a gate here) most questions I asked him "he didn't know" anything about. The only thing he said was, that the reading will go up because the old meters do not read correctly. I told him thats a big "...."
I called some of my close neighbors and everybody told me they will say no, PGE has no right to change the meters. We may have to go to court. But many people do not know anything about the meters. When there are enough meters installed, we will have no meter-readers anymore.
Anybody know how often they will be back? Or will they turn the electric power off? Or charge us an estimated reading? Or we have to read the meter our self? WHO does know about all that- not even PGE seems to be clear about all that- its all such a wischiwaschy coodlmoodl...
Even if there is something like a last on the list thing- what then? Sooner or later we will all get them? Is that it? Do we all have to go to court later or will we just forget about it?
I understand everybody who has the Smart Meter in Santa Rosa has now a higher bill.
