[ RadSafe ] Smart meters

[Emer, Dudley (CONTR)]

That's what I've been hearing from others. I'm still waiting for ours to be installed.
I'll start worrying about RF burns now.

My power bill is based on what time-of-day I use it, and the bills are significantly (at least 25%) lower.  There was a startup cost, to install a 2nd meter, but well worth it.
