Smart meters are controversial among many in the homestead and off-grid communities, but for one California man the controversy turned shocking when the electric company disconnected his power \u2014 for more than a year \u2014 due to his opposition to the devices.<\/p>\n
His name is Josh Hart, and early last year he told the power company the smart meters presented a risk to his health because of a unique medical condition he had. He even had a doctor\u2019s note, but it mattered little the day the electric company workers drove to his rural home and forced him completely off grid by disconnecting his electricity.<\/p>\n
The power company gave him an ultimatum: Get a smart meter \u2013 or stay in the dark. He responded with his own demand: See me in court.<\/p>\n
Hart is this week\u2019s guest on\u00a0Off The Grid Radio<\/em>, as he gives us stunning details of his legal battle with the electric company. Hart tells us:<\/p>\n Listen as someone who survived a battle with the power company tells not only what you can do if you oppose smart meters, but how you can fight back!<\/p>\n [audio:http:\/\/e931ef0167dcbc1aa480-3b5364c87247e918806edd4fd247e41c.r44.cf5.rackcdn.com\/ep272.mp3]\u00a0Podcast:\u00a0Play in new window<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Download<\/a>\u00a0(Duration: 36:41 \u2014 42.0MB)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
