Smart Meters and Your Health

I have a smart meter.... it hasn't served me coffee, picked up my paper, taken my garbage can to the curb. I fail to see the "smart" in my meter. There was no "opt out". I'm in California.

But it has tracked every move you made electrically and reported it to a place that you cannot even go to find out what. You named your major problem, you live in California the state that wants to run your life for you instead of you running your life. And yes, you could have opted out and still can.

I can opt out, and get off the grid. Yes, it has tracked everything I do. Oh, and btw to add to this - we received a notice telling us it would do us a favor and cut down our air conditioning when the area needed to (by placing something else "smart" on my air conditioning unit). Basically - they reach into your unit, and adjust it as they see fit. Oy vey. ha! I'd love to see the official info on opting out as they have replaced the meter that was originally there.... hmmmm.

I have sealed instructions on both my gas and electric meters that state they are not allowed to replace and by law, they cannot replace any meter unless they 1st notify you, and 2nd ask your permission to do so, that's law. But what happens in most cases they BS the home owners and business people into thing all is well and most people are either too busy to do anything about it or are just apathetic and think that they are doing nothing wrong so who cares. We give up our rights daily by not standing up for them. Write your power company with a certified letter that you want it removed because the worst threat is the fact it gives off electro magnetic fields that cause cancer. This device has been known to cause house fires due to overheating of the unit, this is a danger to the public and should be banned, period.

JT ~ we were told, we had no choice. The meter has been on there for quite awhile.

I'm so going to try the letter!!

Lori, look up this information about the smart meter on this site: www.W4AR.com. They have a lot of information about it, what to say in a letter to the power company and so forth. This may seem a bit radical to you and some others because it covers a lot of political stuff but the info on the meters is worth checking out. We have a whole town that they put these meters in who are now fighting back against them. The power company lied about having a choice. Good luck, I hope you can get rid of it, it is a health hazard and a fire hazard along with the fact that they are spying on you for no reason, in reality they would need a warrant to do what they are doing without it.

In California where most of the population is burdened with smart meters, Public Utility Commission members are now admitting that they know the meters are "making people sick" and that's why they are authorizing an "opt out program".

Of course, had the harm to public health been realized at the start the paltry benefits of smart meters would never have justified their expense.

The so-called safety never has been established. Where are the pilot studies usually required before exposing large populations? Greed has led to this technological embarrassment.

At least in California there has been the admission of mistakes though reversing them will be costly and require some real humility.

I don't think it's the matter of greed as much as it is the matter of control. This is UN Agenda 21 at it's beginnings.

The smart grid is insidious and is just another aspect of the final noose about the neck of America. The 4th Implementation Cycle meeting of Agenda 21 just took place in NYC this pass May....which is the final implementation phase. This has been going on for 19 years...and even today, despite monumental efforts by myself and my contemporaries like Mike Shaw, Henry Lamb, Tom DeWeese, et al....still most people are completely ignorant of it. I fear it is too late!

I still have hope that it is not too late.

you may be right but let us hope not!! :)

I have been paying for a smart meter on my monthly electric bill for over a year even though they have not been installed and I DON"T WANT ONE EITHER. I have called I have written letters whether I want one or not it is not my choice I will get one. They were suppose to start installing them this past summer but as of yet no sign of a smart meter. I know they started installing them in Dallas . . . Just another way to control people's lives. Agenda 21 can heave it!!

These meters are cancer causing big brother watching and one less job for America menace. We need to stop the madness and I believe we can stop it.

there is no benefit to these meters . . .
known to cause cancer . . .
create higher electric bills . . .

I hope we can stop the madness before it is too late . . .

I have already put the no smart meter tags on both my electric and my gas meters. I am going to write both the power company and the gas company a certified letter that I do not want one installed, that way they can never deny that they received a negative from me.
