New PG&E Smart Meters: public health, environmental and financial threat!

Come to the Sebastopol City Council meeting Feb 2 at the Teen Center in Sebastopol. at 6 pm A PG&E Representative will attend this meeting and answer questions.

Beginning February 2010 PG&E Smart Meters will be installed on every home and business and a new wi-fi infrastructure will be added to lampposts, buildings, and telephone poles throughout Sonoma County. Smart Meters may present serious health and environment risks, as well as financial, privacy, and security concerns.

Smart Meters will emit electromagnetic radiation (RF), wireless signals throughout the day and night. This is electrosmog air pollution.

Exposure to electrosmog has been documented to have major biological effects on living tissue. The exponential increase in the use of wireless technologies will very likely present serious public health consequences.

Overloading homes and businesses with "Smart appliances" to help save the planet?
Smart=wireless=Class 2b carcinogen=A dumb idea
There are NO safety standards for long term exposure!

How much will we be charged at what time of day?
How often do these meters emit RF?
What frequency will they use?

The EMF Safety Network is requesting public hearings from the City of Sebastopol and Sonoma County

In Fresno a hundred residents packed a public hearing with complaints about being overcharged by these meters. State Senator Dean Florez is calling for a moratorium as is The Utility Reform Network. (TURN Consumer Advocates : Index) In addition a class action lawsuit has been filed against PG&E in Bakersfield.

PG&E has failed to provide requested information on public health and safety even though they claim they have conducted a thorough evaluation on radio frequency (RF) health effects.

Welcome back, Sandi. Thanks for letting us know about about this important upcoming meeting.

It seems we were both posting about the EMF issue at about the same time. I guess something must be in the air!

I posted a article in WaccoTalk and I'm hoping to see your comments about it:

We just had our meter changed to this " smart " meter. It blinks a very visible light. If you are inside with the lights and porch light off, you can see the light from its blinking I can see it from 100 feet away. My radio reception buzz's periodically with a sound like Morse code on steroids and it does it on two different stereo systems at the same time that its happening with one of the systems not even on radio reception.

I just went out to see how much it blinks and it blinks 3 times a second.
