FPL

In my neighborhood of South Miami, we buy electricity from Florida Power and Light company (FPL.)Every house has a meter outside and FPL's personnel come by to read the meter monthly before they can bill for their service. Recently, they have installed brand new and formidable looking meters. I often wonder if they can be trusted to read the numbers correctly. How does this work? May be I'll start a new pet project about this, just to be on the safe side.
