As can be imagined, the old 'spinning disk' meters - invented in 1880's - despite having jeweled bearings, slowly run down.... so they *might* read low.
The electronic meters being installed are virtual lab instruments - 0.2% accuracy over 20 years, milliamps to 200A full scale, -40 to +85C, outdoors. Pretty ding dang good engineering. There have been vocal complaints so in places (notably California and Texas) thousands of these new meters have been pulled and retested... in all cases, the meters proved accurate.
Bills might go up, bills might go down. But at least now they are accurate.
With the world-wide collapse of Socialism, the power of information and communication was demonstrated; a society built on myth collapsed under its own inconsistancies and inefficiencies. How do you see communication impacting the Islamic community, the ummah; and over what time frame?
Google has never moved past the leech stage, they dice up content sucked from anywhere they can find it. Their ads are spam. The user did not ask for them; GOOG gets paid for them.

The utility already has their energy consumption data and can generally care less about what they are growing in their garage.
Signature spam is not cool.
