In reply to Shucks the Explorer. 3 month emergency ordinance that expired on December 31. If residents of Santa Cruz County want their reps to protect them from SM's now is the time to put the pressure on.

Santa Cruz County banned the meters? I thought it was just a temporary thing.

Proof largest SmartMeter producer has them made in China. Remember Chinese drywall? That pales beside this. Good points made above.

GET USED TO IT.

PG&E has already killed people in Hinkley, California and San Bruno California and other places less well known.

Why are you people complaining about Wireless smart meters? Do you think you deserve better than those adults and children that have already been killed by PG&E?

I just don’t understand you people. PG&E has a record of killing and sickening people throughout the state and that’s not going to change.

Why don’t you people just accept it, like the rest of us?

Radiation Emissions from Smart Meters, 1/1/11:
sagereports.com/smart-meter-rf/ shows how Smart Meters actually exceed FCC standards for radiation exposure in CA.
I have received a Smart Meter – it has made me sick in profound ways. SM’s are extremely dangerous devices, I am convinced of this, so are my doctors. My story:
http://www.thecanaryreport.org/2010/12/28/smart-meter-alert/ SM’s should be banned nation-wide, and removed from all homes and buildings where they have been placed.

Smart Meters are a grave menace to public health, our liberties, freedoms, and privacy. If this precedent is allowed to exist, we shall lose far more. Even with just this outrageous device, the following can (and likely will) happen:
1. the health of Americans will be destroyed. I have all but one symptom named in a report of health effects from RF radiation – and that includes a new, disturbing, virulent form of skin cancer on my face (smart meter located by head of my bed).
2. hackers, government, or private companies could choose who to sicken with radiation exposure – no one would be safe. They would have a device on our homes and buildings that can be dialed up to sicken or even kill the occupants. This is not science fiction, this is a reality, now.
3. privacy destroyed – our indoor air space permeated with radiation emissions, where once, we had the choice to have a healthy home
4. privacy destroyed – data gathered on our activities and how often we are there, this can be hacked into or misused by government or private companies
5. security issues
6. interference with other devices, including medical devices and technologies in the home. This can be deadly.
7. Power given over to government, corporations (often owned by international interests), terrorists/hackers who can now harm us in our homes from a great distance.
THINK ABOUT IT AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THIS ONE. NO SMART METERS.
