    Default Power Company Smart Meters

    I am just passing on this message I got this morning from my husband ... and they were talking about it so I asked him to email me the link. If someone want to "snope" me on this, go right ahead.


    Anybody got one of these installed......you might want to do something about it.
    VERY INTERESTING .......... Big Brother may be a lot bigger than we thought! CLICK HERE:

    They are far from smart too. In can say that in 2 different states after having these installed my bill doubled monthly. When I called they said that the meter is finally reading properly. 180 bucks for a 1 bedroom condo? Yeah, working properly

    I'm 50 seconds into it and he's losing me already.

    "...computers that you'll never get to see." Yes, and? I have no right to see someone else's private property.

    "...shows when you are home; shows when you are sleeping." No, not really. All it's going to show is when I'm using more power and when I'm using less.

    "...bootleg energy off the grid." Whaaaa? Like having a solar panel installed? Heck yes I want them to know about that. In most states, you can sell any excess energy back to the power company, and tehy HAVE to let you. The only other thing he could be talking would involve theft of service from the power company, and I'm sure none of the "law-abiding gun owners" on this forum would EVER do something ILLEGAL.

    Sorry. I can only take so much alarmist talk at once, and 1:00 is my limit tonight.

    What he says is true, but he is nor emphasizing an important point: smart meters are radio transmitters and add to the radio wave pollution around us. Studies show that it is powerful enough to pose a danger.

    What studies? Reputable peer reviewed literature or "kook journals" published by the tin-foil hat crowd?

    I always wear my tinfoil hat and CCW Badge when talking on the CB radio. I've never had any problems.

    That explains the badge fetish.

    Guys, I work for one of the nations largest electric utilities. We just install 20,000 of these in one of our communities. Most of that is bunk, your bill will not double, it puts out the same or less radio waves than a cell phone.
