In theory, having the AMR would be able to determine theft of service cases, lowering the overall cost.

From a prior job responsibility (verifying potential address for gas work), on any given list, there would a decent number of locations (based upon AMR data) that theft of services was occurring

My name is Murphy, and that is my law.

So they'll add $380 to my bill, to make their lives easier and fire couple meter readers to save costs ?

Imagine if the same burden were placed on the right to speak freely, or vote? You wouldn't be up in arms over it?

I think that reply was meant for someone else. Sorry

Hate to tell you but national grid started the smart metering program well before ri energy bought them out, these meters are going to be in every state soon enough doesn't matter what the company name is and trust me when I tell you ri energy is much better then ng

I’m a Millennial, 31 to be specific, and I’ve grown up with this shit. It’s not fair for us to expect this generation to change things without giving them the support or path ways to help that progress.

Until people start choosing little kids over money, nothing will change. Not the plummeting birth rate, not the school shootings, nothing.

The electric company didn't raise the rates, why do people comment on things they nothing about you just sound ignorant

Powerbait Balls. Yellow. Mimics the corn they’re fed leading up to them being stocked.

Why won’t that miserable fuck go away and enjoy her few remaining years.

These are some high quality bills. Vote yes on all of them./

If you guys end up like fishing, my suggestion is getting into fly fishing. So much fun learning how to cast, then catching them on a fly rod. I know off topic but it's what my dad and I got into and it was a hobby we had together. We got lessons and something clicked in my head and I ended up being great at fly casting suddenly. So once you get hang of casting it changes everything. Again off topic sorry, but I lost my dad a couple months ago and saw this and remembered that it was our thing for 15+ years.

Thanks! Excited to try!

Off peak rates are coming to encourage demand shifting. As are heat pumps.

And rescues

Your point is?

Yes definitely search out the kid only places listed on dem website. Opening day can be “combat fishing” and annoying w how many people are out there.

That would be a given, best to have their own office with CCTV screens displaying all entrances and exits. Security personal can be female as well. It’s always a good idea to outline policy for your security to avoid such situations.

Only via public comment hearings (which as the article notes were canceled for this topic), which the PUC is not obligated to heed anyway. Or I guess by voting for the governor who appoints the commission members, but that's never going to be a headline platform of any ticket.

It’s definitely a thought I’ve had. My hope is this generation will make the world a better place.

Yeah exactly. If we want armed security at every school we have to make sure they’re not flirting with the kindergarten teacher when a shooter shows up.

Yes but what’s to say an out of state person couldn’t cross state lines. That’s what I meant.

Reading the proposed legislation is wild. It's like "I think we can all agree that nobody is born racist, so let's never ever talk about it again"
