One positive report (it just happened to be the last report he commissioned) out of three was enough to impose billions in costs upon the energy customers of the UK for nothing in return (Centrica estimated that the smart meter rollout would add £40 to the bill for each of their customers).
How did you go from £40 per customer to "billions"? How many households do you think there are in the UK?
Even if each of us lived alone it'd add up to £268M, an order of magnitude lower than the lowest reasonable definition of "billions".
I hate to interrupt someone when they're ranting, but if your anger is based on bad maths then it might be worth thinking again.
