The letter from my utility says”
“Smart meters will replace your existing electric and gas meters. The new meters are not an optional upgrade”

NOT an optional upgrade means you are going to get them regardless of what you want. So, when a utility installs an inadequately tested piece of equipment that causes you bodily harm they get to extort you into paying to improve your health? I think not. It was the utility that forced these slow-kill mechanisms on us. They should be thankful we who are harmed are not suing them for million$ and gladly put back the analog meter. In fact, they should be refunding us the excess charges for the Smart meter program since we are not participating, and cannot participate.

Dear Judge Yip-Kikugawa,

I have recently discovered that my health problems – headaches, insomnia, memory loss, decreasing brain function are a direct result of the Smart-meter on my home.

I have opted-out and the very next day after the analog meter was installed my health
problems diminished significantly.

I take serious exception to the ruling regarding paying extortion fees to avoid being
made sick by inadequately tested equipment that should never have been forced on
the public in the first place. Especially in light of the tactics and comments coming to
light from the Peevey e-mails acknowledging health problems and the following:

In public, the utilities and CPUC have justified the $75 initially and $10/ month fees for analog meters (to have the same thing that customers have always had) by arguing that individuals should pay for the costs they create. In private however, a different story emerges. In e-mails between California utilities and Marzia Zafar, CPUC’s current Director of Policy and Planning, a 15 year utility industry employee including 4 years as a So Cal Gas lobbyist who was involved in the Bill Devereaux Spy Scandal, Zafar tells her utility colleagues:

“I think if there is not an initial fee your estimate of 2% opt out goes out the door and you’ll have more like 20% or 50% opt out which will then make the whole project that we spent over $7 billion on a complete and total waste.”

Zafar is saying if they eliminate the initial opt out charge for analog meters, up to half of California’s electric customers may refuse smart meters, given all the publicity around safety and inaccuracy problems, and that needs to be avoided at all costs – by ensuring fees remain unaffordable. This e-mail demonstrates clearly that the opt out fee is intended not to “cover costs” but to suppress choice, prop up a failing and dangerous smart grid and penalize people for disobeying a forced, corporate and undemocratic deployment.

I have no intention of paying opt-out fees to my utility and told them so in writing on my request for opt-out.

I suppose they will threaten me with denial of service, but I would expect nothing less from an organization that has so little regard for public health and safety.

I just wish that I would have connected the dots sooner between the Smart-meters and its effect on my mental condition because I likely could have saved my father-in-law’s life. He committed suicide last year due to untreatable insomnia, dizziness, anxiety, etc. He had one of the most optimistic attitudes of anyone I have ever met, yet he became negative and morose. He was frustrated because his doctor visits produced no answers to help him get well. Based on my experience and comparing it to his, I am sure he became a victim of smart grid technology.
__________________________________________

Although my meter has been replaced, I am flanked by two neighbors and live in a smart grid neighborhood. I’ve noticed that my health problems have diminished to a great degree, but not 100%. I’m sleeping better, RF induced headaches are pretty much gone, my toothaches are gone, my strange ear canal sore has gone away, my energy level has increased, my clarity of thought is better, but I can tell that I am not as good as I should be.

It makes you wonder how many other people are not feeling up to par but haven’t made the connection to their poisoning by RF Smart-meters.

I’m convinced that you need to get the Smart-meter off your wiring by going analog even though you have no control over your neighbors. It will make a big difference.

They forcefully opted us all in through a corrupt, lazy and ineffective government, and now extort those who democratically exert our right to refuse. This is the mob we are dealing with and never forget it.

Can anyone else comment on this? Mia sounds very knowledgeable, but I am not.

You know, Shucks, now that you say that, I never requested to be put on the Delay List either…I just stopped them multiple times from installing a SmartMeter on our home. Guess that automatically got me on their list! Creepy!

I got one of these letters, and the odd thing is that I am not on a Delay List as the letter states (never called PG&E, rather I just blocked access to the meter such that it can be read but not physically accessed by Wellington).

Now PG&E wants to charge me for what I already have? Nonsense! This Peevey guy needs to be fired!

I used to have a wireless router in my house, and noticed my health getting affected by “something.” I was feeling a pressure in my head, I would get rapid heart rate, and had unexplained insomnia.

Then someone told me it could be wireless. At first, I doubted it, but now over a year later, all those previous symptoms are gone.

Long story short, this stuff DOES have a health impact, regardless of what the industry tells you. So minimize it as much as you can.
