Smart Meters History in British Columbia

 Hi there, as you may or may not have known, we were given the task  of finding something to write a "rant", or persuasive essay about. After that we filmed videos of our rants, I may include a link later. So, this post is to be about the history of our topics. Since my topic is fairly new, the amount of information in here may be spread a little thin. Also, please keep in mind that the meters talked about here are those in British Columbia, Canada, and therefor may be different from those in other areas.

                 I do know that some sources claim that the program's roots go back to the 1980's though whether or not that is true, I don't know. It does seem very far fetched, but it could still be a possibility.
I also know that the meters were supposed to be fully implemented into BC homes by the end of 2012, though there has still been a lot of controversy over them, and not all of them have been fully implemented yet, due to those holding out on the program, or opting out. The installation process has been carried out since 2011.


        This is all that I could find for now, but I will be updating and editing this post as if/when I find more.


Thank you for your time, if you have any advice or information or sources for information that you would like to share, please do!
Thanks again,
~Sivvy
