hello ic,i've posted a thread about this before but can't seem to get a definitive answer. my local electric company is currently installing smart meters throughout the city.my address is due to have one installed in september of this year and i am worried about what it means for me as a grower.i've heard they can tell what appliances you're using and so on.i've also heard that if you pay your bill on time and are not stealing power that it's nothing to worry about.i do always pay my bill and don't steal power.however,where i live,there are no med laws,so i'm not legal.also,the electric company,garbage company and cable company here all actively work with the sheriff's dept to identify grow ops.they train all their employees in ways to spot them through a program the sheriff's office provides and recieve bonuses when they help spot one,this is public knowledge and has been reported in the local paper and on the sheriff's office website.so that leads me to believe that smart meters are the end of my growing once i get one. can anyone tell why i have nothing to worry about or what steps i can take that this will not affect me besides quitting growing? thank you for any help,gp
