Many people are not yet aware of the Smart meter issue.  Power distributors, around the world, have been changing analogue electric meters to "Smart Meters" that will give them MUCH more information apart from your electricity consumption.  They can tell where you are in the house, which rooms are the most occupied or even if you are home and more.....

How do they get this information?  A two-way communication is enabled between the meter and the central system. Unlike home energy monitors, smart meters can gather data for remote reporting. Such an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) differs from traditionalautomatic meter reading (AMR) in that it enables two-way communications with the meter via high powered wireless communication signals similar to cellphones.

Why the concern?  Think of it this way:  what if your cellphone was connected to all the wires inside the walls of your house? How would you like to be in the centre of a microwave signal? What do you think would happen?

Stop Smart Meters   (www.stopsmartmeters.org)  has the following information:

‘Smart’ meters are new wireless utility meters being installed as part of the “smart” grid initiative, spearheaded by technology firms and backed by the Obama administration and the Department of Energy.  Promises ranging from lower utility bills to enhanced renewable generation capacity have failed to materialize, with widespread reports of higher bills, privacy violations, fires and explosions, and commonly reported health impacts such as headaches, nausea, tinnitus, and heart problems associated with powerful wireless transmissions.   Widely disparate political groups - from members of the Green Party to the Tea Party and Occupy protesters have attacked the program, and dozens of grassroots organizations have sprouted up over the past several months to fight what they call an undemocratic, unconstitutional and dangerous assault on people in their own homes and neighbourhoods.  Dozens of people have been detained or arrested for peaceful civil disobedience and even simply by speaking out against deployments.
