Wind? 24/7? What planet are you on? Our local coal fired has to fire up when the wind drops, and has done regularly this year

I also see they don't tell Joe public how much pollutants are created to build just 1 electric vehicle, it's way more than the pollution created by running 1 modern vehicle for 10yrs.
Here's a live (no pun intended) status report: https://grid.iamkate.com/Please can you provide some details of these brownouts?
I have just come across a new tactic to get people to have an evil smart meter.
Heres another thing. I don't know what morons they are using to install the gas ones. I don't think that they are normal gas engineers but just people trained up to fit them.A Part of the gas one being fitted is that they check, perhaps just visually ‐ other gas equipment in your property. A mate of mine had a gas one and the chap that fitted it "checked" the gas cooker and condemned it on the basis that it did not have an anti tip bracket fitted to the bottom of the cooker. It had the required chain fitted to the top perfectly correctly. They then had to pay for their regular gas engineer to come out to check and undo the condem.These people fitting them are idiots.
These people fitting them are idiots.
Electric mini-digger review. 54 seconds. Funny .
I would love to know how a Smart Meter can tell the sex of people living in my home or their age
Other info such as exactly when you leave and return home - very useful to thieves.

Just as well I leave everything turned on all the time and have a few big dogs then.Seriously though, I agree with what you are saying. The data analysis will be based on typical patterns though as you could not say for certain (for example) that a household has children because the power usage goes up at 4pm. It could be a teacher that lives there or someone who does short days.Same goes for the hairdryers, some men use them allegedly etc etc etc

Age by what time they get up and start using equipment and from the power being used can work out what equipment is being used = age.Also age by seeing the power consumption increase when the kids come home from school. If you even have kids by not seeing that surge at that time but seeing it when you come home instead. Also if you are a single parent. All from diagnosis of how much power is being used for how long and at what time.All of this data is valuable information that can be sold to advertisers to target you. Or a telemarketing company will know the best times to call your house. Other info such as exactly when you leave and return home - very useful to thieves. If you still think its a load of rubbish and are happy for a surveillance device to be installed in your home then that's up to you.
