But you must not block the meter dials from view. Someone goes to check the values manually, every once in a while (monthly?).
If you have the same kind of "spinning wheel with a mark" under the small dials, it might be easier to check for the number of revolutions of that wheel.
Of course your biggest power drain will be from the computer that is always on reading the meter.
All I have to do is to convince my wife to allow me to quit my job. She can provide the income for the family. I will do my duty to save our species by opening a non profit impregnation clinic.
I read instructions on how to operate an incendiary device. I hope they don't arrest me for potentially committing future arson. I believe the instructions said "close cover strike match".
12.12.2007 Green Party demands inquiry into AECL negligence
OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper should save taxpayers money on the Mulroney-Schreiber inquiry and instead perform a useful inquiry, says the Green Party. The party is calling for a full inquiry into the behaviour of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., focusing on safety concerns arising from AECL's severe lack of accountability, its repeated failures to comply with instructions from its regulator, radioactive dumping practices and other environmental transgressions along with the recent incident at Chalk River, where AECL ignored licensing conditions.
"It is apparent that AECL has become a rogue force and pays no heed to safety instructions from its regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Mr. Harper must look into this serious situation at once to gain control over AECL," said Green Party leader Elizabeth May. "We urgently need answers. Why was AECL operating the NRU reactor in violation of its license and why did the Harper government allow this to happen?"
The CNSC ordered the installation of a backup power supply system at the Chalk River reactor as a crucial safeguard, yet AECL operated the reactor without the backup system until it was caught red handed last month.
"Canadians also deserve to know why the government was unprepared for the shortage of medical radioisotopes when the Chalk River facility was shut down for routine maintenance. The government saw this coming from a mile away, so why did the Harper government fail to source the isotopes from other reactors? Why is he only now scrambling to do something about the situation? How is it that AECL is years behind schedule and at least $160 million over budget on bringing online the two Maple reactors which could have prevented this shortage?"
Ms. May said the inquiry should also investigate AECL's former practice of dumping thousands of litres of radioactive waste into Chalk River daily.
"We know that AECL continued to dump up to 4,000 litres of radioactive waste a day into Chalk River despite repeated commitments to stop. Furthermore, does AECL have a plan for the decontamination of Chalk River? We demand to know how AECL was allowed to get away with dumping radioactive contaminants into the river and what have been taken to clean up this mess."
In 2003, AECL told the CNSC that the cost of a clean up would be at least $2 billion.
"For too long, the AECL has been permitted to operate as it pleases - defying orders from its regulator, keeping its practices secret and avoiding accountability. Mr. Harper must rein in this rogue force for the safety of all Canadians."
Because the rover drivers might use the rover to suicide-bomb.... something. That crater over there, maybe?
Those rovers on Mars are travelling at tens of KILLometers per second relative to the earth. Can you imagine how much damage one of those would cause if it were to hit a ranch in Texas.

The current unexpectedly long shut-down occurred because the improper backup systems were discovered by the regulators.
Should AECL have been more diligent in hiding the improper backup systems from the regulators?!!!
