LETTER: Meter scenario is outrageous
We have had letters from our energy suppliers extolling the virtues of electricity smart meters. However, there are a couple of things these people don't tell us:
1. Smart meters are not compulsory; we can decline their installation in our homes.
2. These meters give the energy companies the ability to cut our supply, remotely, without using the present proper procedures.
