We came home today to discover the "gift" of a smart meter on our home. In order NOT to have one, there is a one time fee of $75 and a monthly charge of $10/month to opt out. The fact that they charge so much to opt out is infuriating to me. Not only does it discriminate against the poor, it is maddening that we have to pay more to not be exposed to something that we deem to be detrimental to our health.
I'm wondering if there are any class actions against PGE and/or how others have dealt with this.
Thanks
