I agree smart meters are about health.
They are also about being watched. The company can tell when and what appliances you use including any health items you plug in ( like for sleep apnea). They can also tell when you are not home.
My fear is they will sell their info or their sites can be easily hacked.
However, my main concern is the health issue.

I think the purpose of those things is reduce the number of people they hire--meter readers now a dying breed.

Again, not able to read what others wrote.
But, my bill went from $25 a month to $60 a month when they installed the smart meters.
Ugg
It went down $20 last month so $40..but still not a happy camper.
We are still being charged for reading meters on the bill.

The director of StopSmartMeters.Org has had his electricity cut even though his bill payments were up to date because he protested the fees levied against him for refusing a smart meter.

Has anyone gone to learn at Dr. K's workshop on smart meters and Lyme Disease? I received an flier from a lyme support group to his patient lecture next Saturday, March 8 in NYC and thinking of going.

People tried to fight against smart meters in the Chicago suburbs, but lost. I don't think we have an opt out policy here in Illinois, so I am a bit worried.
