  I dread the installation of a “smart” gas meter on my property, as my meter is presently installed right in my 13x30foot backyard where I grow vegetables, sun bathe, barbaque and sit ;to eat food! If that ‘smart meter’ is installed, I will no longer be able to USE my YARD! I’ll feel afraid to cut the grass near it let alone do any gardening out there! Our New Mexico Gas Co. sent a letter to all their customers stating if we refused to allow them to install the ‘smart meter’, they would ‘…discontinue our gas service at your address.”
  I do NOT condider that Democracy. That is DICTATORSHIP by Corporations!!!!

  In Maine, 7 people, representing over 70 customers of the electric Utility CMP, filed 7 complaints with the Maine Public Utilities Commission, and recently won the right to opt out of the RF smart meter program (for a fee). Because of the publicity generated by our cases, 7,000 people wrote the utility to ask to opt out of the program. I am one of the 7 lead complainants. The Maine PUC only allowed the opt out option on the basis of economic feasability for the customers and the utility, ignoring our constitutional rights to protect our homes/bodies from harm and to prevent anyone from putting something into our homes without our permission. I am now appealing this decision in the Maine Supreme Judicial Court (case 2010400) to ask the court to define our legal rights and hopefully set a State Supreme court precedent so that all U.S. Citzens can use this precedent to fight this outrageous, unlawful intrusion into our homes! To see all of our court documents, testimony, & exhibits, visit the Maine PUC website, go to “virtual filings” and type in one of our case numbers 2010400, 2010345, 2010398, 2010389, 2010346, 2011085, & 2011120. Hopefully you can use some of the exhibits to support your fight to hardwire the smart meters instead of using radiofrequency waves that emit harmful radiation. Unfortunately, I have filed a Notice of Appeal but have been unable to find an attorney to take this case on a Pro Bono basis. I am still searching and hoping to find an informed, generous, lawyer willing to fight Golieth for us all!

  Can the webmaster possibly add a section about how smart meters affect non humans, such as bees? Without them we are lost.

  Dear CST:
  I live in Idaho and have just read your article about Idaho Power Co.’s “smart” choice of using power line communications with their smart meter instead of using wireless transmissions.
  I am not expert on electricity, but according to a very well written analysis of various types smart meters written by an EHS engineer (please read – http://www.eiwellspring.org/smartmeter/Smart_Meter_overview.htm) Idaho power has most likely chosen this delivery system because of the cost effectiveness of using pre-existing wiring and not because of the “safety” of it as they claim. In fact, Powerline communications will turn all the electrical wiring in a house into radiating antennas, and they will communicate with any “smart” device in the house even though their website claims that it will only transmit between the device and substation and nothing else.

  Would someone there please read the very informative website from the url posted above and let me know what your experts think? I’d greatly appreciate it as I have refused a smart meter and am being pressured by ID Power to allow installation.
  Thank you!

  Don’t pay your bill until the last and finall notice prior to disconnect, every billing cycle in protest of the FORCED installation of the smart meters. My family is being directyly effected by this thing with naerly all the sysmptoms listed that started when the meter was installed. She has talked to the CEO of the power company whomsaid if he allowed her to have the old mechanical meter back then he would have to let others too, absolutely no consideration for her and the negative heatlth effects teh meter is causing. I’m going to maske tehm generate more work for themselves, if eveybody does it we can change things..

  I never realized that the smart meter in my home is not so smart and is responsible for no reduction in energy use. Thanks for the information.

  Stand up for your democratic rights! As a group, we can stop the “Smart Meter” program forced upon us.

Don’t sit back and wait for”Joe” to do it!

  To Whom it may Concern
  My personal experience in regards to
   BC Hydro’s Smart Meters or to be perfectly clear there new technological metering system

  We live in a beautiful old Victorian house

  Downtown Victoria  that’s been passed down in my husband’s family for over 60 years I would like to add right here that I’ve always had sensitive hearing I can hear things that most people can’t hear from high frequency sounds to low frequency sounds, it’s okay I’ve learned to live with it until recently when we redid some of the electric in the house and not long after that BC Hydro came on our property without our knowledge removed our old Reliable meter and replaced it  with the new SMART meters. Unbeknown  to me and my husband Not even realizing that they came on our property and removed our old meter and replaced it with an abusive Smart Meter because sometime 
  from that day on or I should say night on when retireing to bed I started hearing low droning or humming sounds,  the closest description would be sounding like a car engine ideling or a generator running all through the night right outside my bedroom window, not only that along with the sound I experienced a feeling all through my body, a vibrational movement as if there was a high frequency vibrator shaking me in my bed every night. 
  Well on that first night that I experienced this car ideling sound I went outside to see where the noise was coming from, walked around the house, up and down the block and heard nothing, the neighborhood was quiet.
  So I scrached my head and went back to bed and there it was again, that strange low humming sound, got up again and I walked around the house putting my ear to all the walls in the house to see if there was some broken, pipes or something rattling in the walls…nope nothing.
  So I went back to bed and did my best to ignore the sound, I mean  my husband didn’t hear it so maybe it’s just crazy old me except he would be feeling nauseous, uncomfortable sometimes dizzy, me, stressed, annoyed and determined to discover where the sound was coming from I even bought a stethoscope and started listening to all the walls in the house.
  After a few nights of this I started feeling like maybe there’s something wrong with me, how come only I can hear it and on top of all of this I was also having a hard time getting to sleep, I figured it was menopause so I started taking melatonin every night or I’d be up till 2, 3 sometimes 4 in the morning, this went on for nearly a year every night.
  Thank God for internet
  I recently got sick and tired of hearing this sound every night and feeling this nauseous vibration throughout my body and went online and searched my findings,  “low humming frequency sounds heard every night along with vibrational shaking movement” to my surprise there were other people having similar experiences like going outside in the middle of the night looking around their neighborhood for an idling car or generator and interesting enough  all of these people  who did hear it said that they also had very sensitive hearing and  all around the same time that they had new meters installed in their homes,  O my God !
   At that moment I wanted to take a sledgehammer and rip out this Goddamn Meter that has been driving me stark-raving mad along with sleepless nights and crazy for nearly a year, next morning I called, emailed and wrote registered mail to BC Hydro and ask them to please put my old meter back and immediately remove this new Contraption that is been driving me crazy every night. I got a phone call a few days later from BC Hydro, the lady on the line was very nice, she basically told me that my Wi-Fi and cellphone is no different from their meters and that they’ve had no complaint or problems with the meters and that my old meter is not usable anymore, I told her that if my cell phone or wifi emmitted what I have been experiencing lately I would have trashed them a long time ago, she said she would get back to me in a week.
   Okay so now what,  does that mean I have to listen to that sickening sound every night and feel my body vibrating and feeling nauseous? So dear readers anyone else hearing and feeling things or having a hard time getting to sleep at night because I am here to tell you your not going crazy and your not alone.
  I I’m demanding right now that BC Hydro remove this abusive disruptive an emotionally disturbing meter from my premises immediately.
