The Smart-Meter
Racket Part 2
Smart Meter Problems
Smart Meter Radiation Shield
Yet, in spite of the demonstrably dubious safety of smart
meters, the CPUC has conspired with Southern California
Edison (SCE) to tell households like mine who have already
suffered a more than 80% cancer rate among its occupants,
none of whom share a blood line, that we have to “pay or
else” in order to keep additional carcinogenic factors –
smart meters – out of our homes. How is this any different
than paying protection to the mob so your legs don’t get
broken just for the “privilege” of living in a mobbed-up
neighborhood?
For years there have existed systems that homeowners could
install themselves to monitor their energy usage in
real-time, and even maintain their data online, if they so
chose, using existing networks with no increase in EMR
exposure. But the user, not her next door neighbor who was
not “benefiting” from this hardware, software, and service
upgrade, was the one who paid for it. Such a “free market”
model should apply here. If a user wants to “opt-in” to the
new hardware, software, services etc. of a smart meter, then
that opting-in user should bear the cost – not we who want
no change to our service as it has existed for decades! And
certainly, we should not be forced to accept or pay a
penalty for an “upgrade” in service that has not been proven
safe due to a waiver of environmental, health, and
security-study analysis the CPUC granted when bending over
backward to do SCE’s bidding in this matter.
The fact that the CPUC approved Smart Meter installation
without safety and security studies lead many to believe
that the CPUC is no longer functioning as a guardian of
citizens subjected to state-mandated monopolies for area
utility services. When the CPUC then mandated to push the
costs of upgrading onto those who clearly did not want it,
and who would not in a free market model choose to upgrade,
it was further proof that the CPUC is a utility-company
advocate and consumer adversary. Even considering a further
near 300% increase in “opt-out cost” recovery fees speaks to
this perversion of the CPUC’s consumer-protection
responsibility.
The fact that the CPUC, regardless of the amount and
strength of consumer objection, will likely grant this
increased level of punitive extortion against those who
simply want to protect their own health is proof beyond a
reasonable doubt that the CPUC is a utility advocate rather
than a consumer protection regulatory agency, and one more
example of “the best government corporate money can buy.”
