Am I over cynical here? Electricity providers want a smart meter installed in our homes in order to save money by not employing readers

to go from house to house, sometimes several times if no one is in. Bills issued and collected by DD. Huge savings to the supplier.

Yet they want us to use our electricity to save them millions. I know it will only be a small amount of electricity but it will be on non stop in perpetuity.

Multiply that by 25000000 homes and bingo.

Most of us use electricity responsibly so I don't see much being saved in reduced usage.
