Smart meter diatribe

Legh Richardson
What does the panel think about this?

Smart meter scam?


I'm interested in a professional qualified view as this character is pretty ruthless regarding the energy suppliers

    Legh Richardson:

    [...]

    I wonder why insurance companies do not offer cover when requests from prospective clients cite health reasons as their objection to the installation of smart meters? 

    [...]

     



    But who would pay for that insurance?


    The customers won't want to.  Why would you want to pay for insurance for something that somebody else wants to do?  It costs nothing to just refuse the meter.


    The electricity suppliers and meter manufacturers won't want to.  They will argue that the meters meet all regulatory safety requirements.  Taking out insurance is just inviting anyone who feels poorly after a smart meter is installed to put in a claim for lots of money.
     


     




    Lol,.... This chap may well be spinning a yarn, as well as previous concerns by WHICH. That's why I'm interested.

    He stated that Insurance companies were unable to offer indemnity to the large energy suppliers where customers refused to have smart meters fitted on the grounds of ill health. Presumably, this assumes that a refusal under health ground and where it may well become obligatory to have smart meters fitted in the future would penalize the insurance companies were it to be shown that the 'digital noise' eminateing from the smart meters screwed up vulnerable peoples health.


    Why should insurance companies be concerned one wonders and possibily implies that we have a new digital asbestos in the wings !
