You guys are missing the point- reading the meter isn't the problem. To disconnect you, they open the cover the nest is built on, and pull the clear plastic meter out.

Though the one in the picture has a clamp ring instead, you'd still disturb them.

Jokes on them. My electric company reads the meter from thier office and can shut power down remotely.

Fill their office with wasps, problem solved

Same here and a hell of a security risk if you think about it

Congratulations! We've been misreporting your electricity use and have remediated the charges. You now owe $4200 in past due charges, due immediately, or your service will be terminated.
