Your completely right they don't care as long as you are paying for your usage.
But heres a question,
Where do you think 5-0 got the info for the 24 or 48hr inspections ? It wasn't cuz they are so good at doing investigative work it was cuz hydro would print a list of suspected over usage based on history. Thats how they targeted suspected grows.
As far as the 'lists' power companies generate, the practice only happens in BC where municipalities request said lists from BC Hydro. If you live in a nanny-municipality, consider moving to a jurisdiction where the municipality either doesn't exists (like a regional district), or doesn't make it their business to investigate if you use more than 93 KWH/day. To put it succinctly, move out of Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster or Maple Ridge if you depend on growing for income. Rules in this game change, those that can find a way around the rules don't get caught in the net. Those that can't evolve, and instead rest on their laurels... well they go the way of the dinosaur.
The RCMP never got the info it was the municipalities that got it using a loop hole in the Freedom Of Information Act. All they did was go to hydro, tell them give use a break down of the KW/h for each house in their section. Most of the cities at least in Lower Mainland will not be continuing the inspections as they have their laws suits do deal with.
I call them rats and goof's...your terminology may vary due to geographical location n' dialect.
Smart meters are only a threat to those that flip large amounts of lights on/off from standstill, sure you'll see a huge power spike. If you run your lights on a flip there is a small blip when the igniter fires, otherwise the ballast run constantly and the blip will be minimal.
Hi chimera,
You are correct this would work fine, but the only prob with this is if you have a separate veg room always running to fill the two rooms you are flipping. The flip works for 12/12 but the 18/6 would still show as a spike ?
Are smart meters in all provinces across Canada ? Cause here in New Brunswick I don't think ive ever seen one?
Do you guys think it would be ok to go an extra week after march 31? I dont wanna crop at 7 weeks sheeeeit. Are the cops going to be checking out all the bigger grows to make sure they shut down? Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks.
