The libs laughed at me when I said PG&E would probably hike rates later to pay for this crap.

I just heard on the nooz the other day that PG&E is doing exactly that-at 7 percent!

The important question for a dissertation, Can a population that is terminally wacko be degraded further by smart meters?

Nobody in my area is “accepting” the Smart Meters. They are outraged. Many of them have seen their bills double as soon as those ghastly things were shoved into place.

My community is split, some of us are lucky enough to be free of Edison & not yet sentenced to Smart Meters.

People have raised so much hell about it, some are being removed.

The program is a nightmare.

This thing buys into the rather cranky health effects of RF theories, none of which have been proven.

And ANY electronic device plugged into house wiring will create a “signal”. Smartmeters are no exception, nor are they exceptional in this way. Your PC or TV set will do the same thing.

Millions of Smartmeters have been deployed in many countries and many locations in the US, with no measurable health effects.

That said, the utility permits health cranks and other silly people to bypass the meters. They are irrelevant. Smartmeters now are bout 80% deployed in California, and will, within a year or so, get to 95%.

And the real benefit of Smartmeters is to utilities - they replace human meter-readers.

The health issues are bogus IMHO. Our utility had a public forum a while back and the rep was prepared to talk about health issues. No one in the audience viewed that as an issue. The problems are privacy and security. No answers when presented with the issues outlined on the EPIC.org smartgrid pages.

You may want to try one of these to overcome the evil waves of that smart meter.

The new mileage tax that’s been in the news this week is another facet of this same mentality. Think of it as “smart metering” for your car.

I got to believe that there are too many "joke" groups out there. Perhaps DU types masqueradng as rational people?

So we got to get rid of electricity now in addition to fossil fuels?

Do these ding bats know what the definition of EMF is?

Perhaps they mean RF, so we've got to get rid of radio and TV too.

Brave New World.
