CBS News reports that under the Vermont law, opt out costs would be spread across all customers, rather than just those who opt out. But a spokeswoman for Vermont’s Green Mountain Power said she expects most customers will be eager to embrace the changes a smart grid will allow.
Less positivity from a Vermont lawmaker quoted by CBS News: "They're the ones who came up with this," Sen. Robert Hartwell, D-Bennington and a leading supporter of the free opt-out, said in an interview. "The utilities didn't really care what the ratepayers thought. So since they're the ones who are trying to impose the new system, we think they're the ones who should absorb the costs."
