Sure wish these "reporters" knew something about RF emissions ....
And I bet this dingbat would go apeshit living next to me every time I keyed up 1500 watts into my tri-bander ...
Proofreader wanted; inquire within.
Insanity
I can’t imagine the wireless emissions from this are any better or worse than the myriad of wireless emissions floating around everywhere today.
The real goal here is information for the state. Same reason they want info from vehicles under the guise of “cheaper insurance for safe drivers”.
IIRC Last year the Ill Supreme Court overturned that law.
My neighbors here in Vermont were up in arms about the wireless transmission business as a possible health threat.
Frankly, I think that’s very doubtful. But our local power company decided to install smart meters that report back over the lines, so the new meters have gone in without any fuss.
I don’t see why on earth they can’t all do that. I don’t imagine it’s any more expensive or difficult to install, and it alleviate all that anxiety, whether or not its warranted.
I can see that people might not want the power company spying on their minute by minute use of power. But what’s the big deal? It does save a lot of money by making it unnecessary for meter readers to make the rounds every month. And it makes it a bit easier to figure out where a power outage is.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I live in an almost 100yr old home with power lines near me and have probably had electromagnetic radiation going through me since 1969, lol.
My worry with the new meters is that they can more easily be controlled, the amount of power could be reduced or even cut off - and with the government we now have - it’s a scary thought. We know cities have ‘blacked out’ areas during high power surges.
My heat, air conditioning and some lights are always on - even if I go out of town - so it doesn’t show that I’m not here.
I despise these smart meters....And every electric customer will pay for them, they are built into the rates and cost maybe $500 installation included
I find it hilarious at the people freaking out over the RF and EMF issue. I can almost guarantee they have WiFi, multiple phones, tables and PC’s connected to said WiFi and cellphones all emitting and receiving RF. Do they really think that they are totally EMF free until a smartmeter is installed? Based on the biased reporting by the MSM on smart meters, it is very likely.
On the other hand the way they can view usage data should be somethong to potentially be concerned about.
They are fighting the good fight albeit for the wrong reason.
Because liberal communist progressives (double redundant, I know) have fought to prevent new power generating facilities, and the magic negro has forced coal powered plants to shut down, we are on the very edge of demand vs capacity.
The first step is to give you a carrot and say well if you run your appliances at night during lower demand we will give you a reduced rate. That will only buy the communists a few years.
After we can no longer save our way out of demand exceeding capacity, they will, using smart meter technology shut off your power for periods of high demand and you will have no choice. My parents had this in Florida on their water heater and air conditioner where the power company could shut them down anytime there was a high demand.
Just one more way these bastards are squeezing us and have to disarm us before we revolt.
Our Utility Company accepts our “called in” meter readings.
There was something about this on Coast to Coast this week.
Interesting interview.
They changed to those smart meters in my suburb last year. I hate it. I started getting statements in the mail that I was using more power than any of my neighbors. So I shut down my freezer and the AC . . .
3 days later ComED has a workman checking the smart meter to see if I bypassed it!
Bastards.
The city made me get one. 2 days later, my electricity went out. It cost me $1,000.00 to get it back on.

Guess i was doomed from the start, live in commiefornia and I just lease, have no choice in the smart meters. I DO remember some of the wording, like jail, fines, subversive acts, loss of electrical grid and to promote, would be cheaper, safer, less obtrusive, ...dang, anyone have those flyers that came with the PG&E bill? I just remember writing my landlord and saying I didn’t want this and electrical would still be more expensive BUT hey, I also pay for utilities
God bless those folks fighting this but I do wonder just how nasty these huge electrical companies can and will get with their lawyers and subverting the Lilliputians; I guess we’ve just seeen part and partial of their ‘skill-set.”
A deep frier basket bought for one dollar at a yard sale, then mounted and grounded around the smart meter or any other RF device renders it incapable of sending or receiving any data. Just sayin’.
Tell ya what...there’s a real calling for a CONSERVATIVE Community Activist, right in Chicago. Those folks are seeing for themselves what kind of fruit the liberal tree actually bears, if they could get off the ideological bandwagon long enough to put two and two together, there could be a groundswell of Black Conservativism radiating from Chicago.
