So, BGE thinks it can manage my life better than I can? I need a special meter to know that if I turn on all my lights, my air conditioner and my washer and dryer, my electric bill goes up and that when I turn everything off, it goes down?

I guess I'm not smart enough to see also that this same meter will allow BGE to know exactly when I turn on all of my things so that it's marketing and money people can figure out how to tailor and target its rate hikes (with a very broad paintbrush, I'm sure)? And to add insult to injury, it wants me to pay for the device that leads to my own demise?

For shame, BGE. You must try harder.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a letter to write to the state legislature. We need better solar and alternative energy incentives if we can't get decent power utility competition in Maryland.
