Quelle Surprise: Smart Meters Aren’t Saving Money
Did anyone believe him? Anyone…? Beuller…? Dalton McGuinty told you a) Smart Meters will save you money on electricity & b) They would be revenue neutral. Always revenue neutral with these guys, always that means there is the same amount of revenue as before, but they’ll have more of it.
Here’s what I said about Smart Meters, as it related to a rate increase a Toronto Hydro because of successful conservation efforts:
…once everybody is doing their dishes in the middle of the night demand will increase at that time, causing the rate to increase in the middle of the night.
Of course, I was off a bit: Premier Dad didn’t wait until everybody was doing their dishes in the middle of the night. Smart Meters raised everybody’s electricity bill automatically, regardless of when you use electricity.
I’ve been paying HST all over town. I can’t wait for the election to vote against this guy.
Dalton McGuinty doesn’t seem to quite get, he’s got a real problem.
The question is, does Tim Hudak get that he’s got a real opportunity. Smart Meters are just the tip of the iceburg.
Apparently you did not attend Enron University. Many Liberals are graduates of the program.
Instead of an annual twenty per cent increase you will only get a 15% increase per annum if you change your use of electricity. (That is a 5% savings on the average of a 20% increase!
It helps if run into walls with your skull to adjust to the Liberal eco-savings.
Don’t count on Hudak getting rid of the HST.
