totally agree. when coupled with rf radiation, it is a total scam.
RF is condemmed in multiple medical reports.
Who wants to line under a power line, or a cell phone tower ?
wastes power. rg & e -rochester,ny, claims no power is billed to consumer. which is corrct. BUT IT IS BILLED INDIRECTLY.
as stated, when 1 million dumbmeters are online, at 10 or 20 watts each, it adds up to total waste.
UTILITIES DO NOT DIVULGE THEIR METERS POWER CONSUMPTION. this is fraud by omission.

We’ve had the furnace checked and thermostat checked. Could it be the smart meter causing this?

Someone was telling me we may be forced to have a Smartmeter on our house. Can anyone explain what happens in 3 years to the SDG&E Opt-Out program? Does the Opt-out program terminate after 3 years? Will we be forced to have a SmartMeter after the 3 years is up?
Here are the rules on SDG&E’s website:
“If you choose the analog meter option, the charges set by the CPUC will be added to your energy bill:
A $75 initial fee, as well as a $10 monthly charge for a three-year period.
Income-qualified customers pay a $10 initial fee, as well as a $5 monthly charge.
The monthly charge will be billed for a period of three years from the opt-out enrollment date.”

thank you! thank you! for your clarity in defining why smart meters are such a bad idea! I’ve been looking for a rental that is free of smart meters and neighbors’ strong wifi, for months in AZ and I don’t think one exists in this state, so will start looking in any area, in most any city/state with reasonable rents, where I can easily and inexpensively opt out, or where the owner has already opted out.

Has anyone noticed data corruption of any of their drives or incremental backups just after installation of the Advanced Meter?

This occured just after the installation of the meter and the NAS is within 10 feet of where the smart meter is. I did ask about returning to a manual meter and the guy who did the install said they would but it they would also charge me a monthly fee. Don’t want the monthly fee but if they haven’t tested this and there are problems then I don’t think we should have to pay that fee.

I am going solar and I am told I will need a digital meter to register the electricity excess production. I still have my analogue meter and specified I did not want a smart meter. I understand this digital meter is going to generate dirty electricity. I will set 14 Stetzer filters around my house to decrease dirty electricity that is generated by the digital meter but also from other appliances.
I am wondering if there is other nefarious impact than just dirty electricity, considering that there will be no 2 ways emission.
Thank you very much for clarification
