So they want to charge the people who don’t want this thing to pay for the program for the very thing they don’t want? If anything, they should charge the people who want to use this thing to pay for the program.
My grandpa fell ill a couple of years ago with a cancer diagnosis and heart attack. He is doing well, especially considering the awful scenario his doctors said would happen if he wouldn’t accept their strong “recommendation” for chemotherapy. he took the more rational, holistic approach and is doing well, but he needs all the help he can get.
Just starting to learn about smart meters, I’m very concerned because his bedroom is right above the smart meter, and he has always spent a lot of time in the garage below, right next to the smart meter. I don’t think he will qualify for the low income opt out fees, but he has a limited income because he supports everyone in his family who is struggling more. I can’t believe the fees are so high, he cannot pay them without sacrificing something else, and won’t consider it right now. And the sweet guy thinks that the government wouldn’t allow PG&E to do something so harmful to him.
don’t know what to do. How can they make any judgment about this without considering the health effects?
