another money making racket
Dear Kuwait – Welcome to the Smart Meter Fraud. You are about to be ripped off by a BILLION dollar boondoggle that will radiate your people in a mesh surveillance network. Congratulations.
What's funny and new is kuwait is just starting to realize the need for electricity conservation. Most of them still have no idea about why the globe is warming. They pay around $5 bn for electricity costs for a year and the common man pay less than 30 cents for a unit whereas the govt pays the remaining 98%… Now all this won't or cannot happen in the USA… some one woke up a few days back and thought they should track this space… And this is the most interesting part of this news. 🙂
This is really funny. What's new about them. These are installed all over the USA. Nothing intresting about this news.
