I repeat: The savings scam is there as it is for a lot of other gadgets, like 'low-energy' lightbulbs. If they are so very effective, how come that our electricity bill constantly gets more and more expensive for us, the consumers, to pay?
As you may remember, some years ago I wrote to the five biggest electricity suppliers in Sweden, asking them why I did not see any price reduction on my electricity bill using such light bulbs (the same can be asked about the smart meters). Three of them did not understand the question at all, they just laughed rather nervously and ended the conversation; one laughed - also nervously and stressed - and asked me if I was nuts, since there were no reductions planned to the best of his knowledge. Ever.
The fifth company just said that I must pay what they charged me, and that further increases - of course - soon were to be expected. "And had I really - seriously - expected anything else", they ended the call with.
So, in essence, these companies with their smart meters and high-frequency, low-energy, light bulbs had lied to the Swedish consumers, and sold them gadgets that did not reduce the cost at all. (In addition, the light bulb producers' claims of very long lifetimes are also bogus, and you may find many articles like this one: https://conversation.which.co.uk/home-energy/led-light-bulbs-ikea-tcp-life-span/ ).
Finally, always remember that smart meters – wired or wireless - would have been, of course, a wet dream for Gestapo and SS giving Anne Frank and her family on Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam definitely no place to hide during WWII. The moment they had put on a single light bulb, they immediately would have been spotted, caught, and sent off to a concentration camp.

Dear Patricia,
