This really, really needs to happen!! The whole 'smart-meter' scheme is highly questionable, smacks of major 'crony corporate capitalism' and does not benefit either the rate payer or the environment! We really still arent talking about some of the serious negative effects of mandating...

More job-killing, anti-business, nonsensical Republican idiocy, this time provided by Representative Franz, who might've missed the memo that we're not only in a fiscal crisis, but an ENERGY one as well.
