The issue of Smart Meters is that they needlessly emit a lot of RF radiation which kills plants and drives away the birds, bats and the bees. Also anyone with an RF reader can tell when someone is home so they know when to rob you blind.
They will drive anyone nuts who has extreme electrical/magnetic sensitivity. If going under high voltage lines bothers you a smart meter will drive you nuts.
There is also other technology that can be used to get the info... ethernet over the neutral line. Similar to X10 control systems.
The company(Corix) that does the smart meter installs are not using licensed electricians. There is already cases of houses burning down due to an improper install of a smart meter.
