You don&#8217;t trust Oncor? Well they are posting photos online each week from the side-by-side meters. (Which won&#8217;t convince any skeptics, but will serve to document the historical moment.\u00a0 Years from now some digital artist will be inspired to remix these images into a work of art.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 560px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/oncor\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"T120_April_1_2010\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2792\/4493181569_fc0d50b4b3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">T12_April_1_2010<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/knowledgeproblem.wordpress.com\/6677\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=knowledgeproblem.com&#038;blog=5880275&#038;post=6677&#038;subd=knowledgeproblem&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Giberson Oncor has been testing smart meters in part by monitoring several several homes with side-by-side smart meter\/standard meter pairs.\u00a0 (See week four results from Killeen, Texas; week four results from Temple, Texas; week four results from the DFW area will be posted tomorrow, April 7, assuming Oncor sticks with their schedule.)\u00a0 So far [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4109,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-519073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4109"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519073\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
