I'm trying to point out that getting worked up about IHDs isn't going to save the planet. Some people might be helping to save the planet in other ways or not be that bothered. But if they want to save on their energy by agreeing to have an IHD drop through the letter box, so what? Producing items that are unused is wasteful. Pointless explaining as you are intent on defending your choice of having one.

Why don't we have a go at iPhone owners who insist on upgrading to the new model just because the camera lens is better? There's a pointless waste of PCBs and all the evil therein. Agreed.


The benefit of living here is we have a choice, and the less interference from do good government bodies the better.

We don't have a choice about funding the meters.


Less interference would be better? https://www.smartenergygb.org/en/about-us/about-the-rollout

Annex I to the Electricity Directive 2009/72/EC requires the EU Member States to roll out electricity smart meters to 80% of consumers by 2020, unless the result of a Cost Benefits Analysis (CBA) is negative.

For the gas sector, Annex I of the Gas Directive 2009/73/EC requires Member States to prepare a timetable for the roll-out of gas smart meters based on a CBA (with no indication of a timeline).

Of course, after 31 October (possibly, God only knows.:) ) we can please ourselves.

Except that Germany has put the whole thing on hold, kicked it into the long long grass.
