only thing “smart” about the new meters in Texas is how the wires companies sold it to the PUCT that retail users should pay for the meters.
The wire companies got to fire their meter readers.
They got Obama stimulus money.
The homeowners get a $2.32 a month bill for the next eleven years.
We saw an immediate increase in electric prices by at least 10%
No kidding, ever since the ‘smart’ meter has been on my house, I can’t stand near it outside, within a few feet of it before my head feels like it’s being turned inside out. Haven’t been able to concentrate very well either. Some wireless phones give me a headache too. Can’t use them. Have not ONCE placed a cellphone directly next to my head.
Any next step I should take to make my case? Complain to a Doctor etc.? What do I have to lose? I’m unemployed and have lost all hope.
In CA, you will pay PG&E to remove smart meter, and pay $15/month as long as you live in your home.
