The opportunities for most farmers to shift their activities to take advantage of time-of-use pricing are limited. In fact, it may encourage greater use of self-contained standby generation systems

Most of you will already have a smart meter installed, or will have one shortly on your electrical service.
Personally, I have real difficulty with the term “Smart.” My Webster’s Dictionary and Thesaurus list the adjective “smart” as meaning: keen; quick; sharp; brisk; witty; spruce; well-dressed. I do not think the meter measures up to any one of those adjectives. However, it does meet all of the descriptions of a verb transitive category – to feel a sharp pain; to be acutely painful; to be punished.
