    So, SciAmerican is part of the cover-up, eh? Nice whitewashing.

    You know what this is a good technology and it kills bad signal interface and also is environmental friendly. And people are mad about carbon tax but the people complained about gas prices well guess what now you can do this and get off the grid.

    Go work on some of Tesla's crap and help us out for real - would ya ? Please.

    No, we're going to get nailed with carbon taxes as govts allow deforestization ... That's how green they are. Sounds more like black and dirty and criminal.

    No, in a society not run by benevolence, it seems stupid. They can have access to more of your privacy, and shut you down if they so please. And go look at the radiation these smart-meters pump out, and go look at the other neat tricks these smart-meters can do.

    It's lovely. I'm sure they mean well, as they're raping you as I speak. ;)

    The push travels at the speed of sound (vibration really) in the marbles. The speed of light has nothing to do with it.

    You are an apologist for this criminal activity against humanity? Energy should be free, and safe! Smart meters are toxic, dangerous, illegal and invasive! You aren't even taking into consideration the unnatural metaphysical and psychological effects these would have on us.
