We hear rumors that PG&E is doing the same thing with their smart meters, which we all have.
I have sleep apnea, and supposedly have a more reliable power service as per our health provider, for my CPap machine.
That may only work at night after 9 pm during our recent heat wave.
I hate not being able to use my CPAP. I recently stayed in a hotel and the AC outlet was inoperative. I had two bad days of exhaustion.
