Because the magic box energy saving devices don't make your meter turn slower.

Point well taken. Maybe I was wrong for commenting negatively twoards your thread. It just seems to me that you post a lot of trivial stuff!

If my meter is turning, it costs me money. I cannot save money if my meter is turning.

Give me a break. I can understand your reluctance to testing it for yourself...but do not make assertions because you have not proven it for yourself. And, you could, If you would try.

I don't have to test it. If I have a 2400 watt heater that runs for 6 hours a day and I turn it off for 18 hours a day, the meter will spin slower for those 18 hours that the heater is off. So yes, I would be saving money.

All I need is some basic physics and common sense. I don't need to waste money on the device to prove that it doesn't work. But you appear to be relentless in drinking the koolaid that this thing actually works.

It was a stupid question...you tell me what you are getting at? It doesn't matter how fast or slow the meter is spinning...the meter man isn't standing out on my porch watching the thing spin. I get a bill at the end of the month for what was used.

I really don't understand why so many people get so upset about this subject. Surely, one of you have decided that "I" will prove him wrong. JUST DO IT.

I don't think it is the subject as much as the annoying person asking about it.

If math and physics do not prove that a power saver does not work you are a beyond help.

If the meter is turning, you are not saving any money. You are spending money.
That is, unless you have figured out a way to make that meter turn backwards
