Smart meter in British or why people in England freeze in their homes
Here you will not read a word of propaganda about the decaying West and prosperous Russia. Just facts and some analytics. So, let's begin!
Anecdote in the subject
There is a popular anecdote in our country about the fight against poverty.
The government has promised to cut the number of poor by half.
- Are we going to be killed?! - thought the poor.
Seemingly harmless humor, but citizens of the British crown do not seem funny. For them, this is a harsh reality that comes from October to April every year.
What's the matter
The point is in smart meters, which have been practiced in foggy Albion for a long time. The system is as follows: metering devices work directly from the card. There is money on the fuel card - get gas; no funds - the auto-lock will cut off the blue fuel supply. They don't let you go into debt. The system is similar with electricity.
And it doesn't matter to a soulless piece of iron: what is the weather outside, how many children are in the house and when will the salary be. Zero pounds, zero pence on the fuel bill - the heating is turned off immediately. Our debtors breathed a sigh of relief: in Russia, after all, gas is not yet cut during the heating season.
Facts
The Office for National Statistics of the United Kingdom announced shocking numbers: 50 thousand Britons died from the cold in the country during the 2017/2018 season. Before that, the record belonged to the 1999/2000 season - 48.5 thousand died from the cold during this period. Observations have been conducted since 1975.
In Great Britain there is even a special term: "excess mortality". It indicates how much more people are skilled in the fall-winter season compared to spring and summer. Fuel poverty is the name of the problem in England, which the government has not been able to solve for several decades.
Fuel poverty and lifestyle
A smart meter is a metering device that makes no difference to the political and economic situation in the country and the world. He simply counts cubic meters of fuel or kilowatts of electricity. He cannot be fooled.
“To save money, poor Britons turn off the heating at home during the day, and they themselves try to stay in warm public places: shopping centers, libraries, cafeterias. This is the only way to save on gas and electricity, "Politics magazine reports.
What do we have
In Russia, a company is also underway to install smart electricity meters and gas metering devices with an automatic shutter, operating from a special card. A smart meter on a remote command is able to disconnect the house from electricity. The auto-trap shuts off the gas when the card count is zero.
Intelligent metering devices will soon replace the existing ones. But in this regard, we have more rights than the Europeans. Government Decree No. 354 of 2011 indicates that the supply of water and heat is carried out regardless of the payment for these services.
