Our bills are up between 20% or 30% after getting the smart grid with no changes in what we do. It is really a big issue in my town. Two protesters were arrested over it, and there was a police escort when the technician came to install mine. We were initially told there would be a $60 surcharge plus a $30 monthly charge to pay someone to read the meter if we didn't want a wireless one, but when the time came I was told I was getting a wireless smart meter and that was that. Needless to say, a big reason why I haven't been on here lately is that I am preparing the house for sale this summer.
