Who makes these decisions anyway, without public consultation? Most media and corporate coverage\/publicity, with glowing reports about \u201csmart tech\u201d, conveniently omits mentions about these concerns.<br \/>\nWhere there is risk, there must be choice, and this applies especially so to \u201csmart\u201d meters.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Leblanc, Peyia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: A growing body of independently funded, scientific
