Dear Paul, Last week, hundreds of Edenorte customers in the Dominican Republic removed so-called 'smart' meters from their homes and businesses.

Gary Glenn's "opt-out" legislation is gaining support. However, it is not clear if the opt-out would be free, and if it would provide the option for a safe electromechanical analog. And a free opt-out, again, is only a milestone — as harming everyone else is not ok.

Smart meters are radiofrequency radiation- emitting, detailed information-gathering devices. Every electronic device creates a unique “fingerprint.” Smart meters digitally record these data and, using disaggregation software, the utility (or entities with who the utility shares your data, i.e. law enforcement or marketers), can parse-out revealing details.
