Now you know why the government and Big Tech were pushing smart meters.
Residents in Colorado were surprised this week when they were unable to adjust the smart meters in their own home.
The government shut down access to their home thermostat in order to save on energy during the current heat wave.
It’s for your own good.
The Denver Channel reported:
During the dog days of summer, it’s important to keep your home cool. But when thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado tried adjusting their thermostats Tuesday, they learned they had no control over the temperatures in their own homes.
Temperatures climbed into the 90s Tuesday, which is why Tony Talarico tried to crank up the air conditioning in his partner’s Arvada home.
“I mean, it was 90 out, and it was right during the peak period,” Talarico said. “It was hot.”
That’s when he saw a message on the thermostat stating the temperature was locked due to an “energy emergency.”
22,000 people lost control of temperatures in their homes for hours Tuesday

On social media, dozens of Xcel customers complained of similar experiences — some reporting home temperatures as high as 88 degrees.
The Gateway Pundit warned consumers about smart meters back in 2011 when the Obama White House was pushing the idea.
We posted this report by The P/Oed Patriot back on December 20, 2011.
