“the feverish mind of a conspiracy theorist who believes, among other things, that the government wants to remotely control our thermostats”

Last year a California State legislator proposed a program to require installation of thermostats that would allow just that. The idea died a rapid death due to public outcry.

Yeah, that Glenn Beck is a paranoid nutjob alright! To believe something so bizarre as that …

I’m in Kalifornia. A few months ago I received a notice that my electric meter had been “upgraded” for my convenience to allow measurement of usage at different times of day. Yes! My convenience—how thoughtful and benign. This month I got the expected notice that PG&E is planning to put in variable-rate pricing depending on the time of day of electricty usage. For my convenience I’m sure.
