4. THE KAROLINSKA INSTITUTE IN STOCKHOLM THAT GIVES NOBEL PRIZES ISSUES GLOBAL HEALTH WARNING AGAINST WIRELESS SMART METERS. 2-page Press Release: http://www.scribd.com/doc/48148346/K...-Press-Release ...AND in the U.S. and UK and other countries where Wireless smart meters are being installed, energy use is NOT decreasing, customer UTILITY BILLS ARE INCREASING, there are additional PROBLEMS and COSTS incurred from increased SECURITY & HACKING PROBLEMS and the Wireless meters are creating ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS, motion detector device interference and even starting fires in homes. Wireless smart meters are NOT mandated by the US Federal Energy Program, but PG&E is pretending that they are being forced by the Government. The monetary transfers from customers to utility companies are huge, but the advertised benefits are NOT occurring. (It would be nice if this sight would allow spaces between sentences)
1. Q: What are Smart Meters?
A: Read Briefing Letter on Electric Utility Smart Meters(Sage) for a good overview.
Smart Meters are wireless digital utility meters with additional electronic features that allow utilities and consumers to monitor energy usage. Smart meters are part of a new global plan to upgrade the world electrical grid to a Smart Grid and reduce energy consumption. They are being installed where your old electric and gas meters were located. Wireless water meters are also being planned in many regions. (1) Smart Meter planning in the United States is related to the Energy Act of 2007 and administered by the US Dept of Energy, the FCC, and each state's public utilities commission (PUC). The local utility companies have been approved to install Smart Meters in every building that receives utilities in many of the states, such as California. Others, such as Connecticut and Massachusetts, are taking a "wait and see" approach or establishing small pilot programs, due to concerns about health, safety, privacy, and security.
2. Q: How can Smart Meters be harmful to my health or unsafe? What is it like to be ill from smart meters?
A: The Smart Meters installed in the USA and most countries are wireless and emit (non-ionizing) RF radiation which has been increasingly of concern, linked to biological effects in living beings (2), including humans, animals, and plant life.
Dr. Johansson's letter re: SmartGrid / Smart Meter dangers to CPUC 7.9.2011
Dr. Olle Johansson writes to the California Public Utility Commission to detail the dangers related to exposures to radiofrequency radiation, the establishment of a wireless smart grid and use of wireless smart meters. Dr. Johansson confirms "The recent determination of the World Health Organization (WHO) to include radiofrequent radiation on the 2B list of carcinogens also applies to devices such as smart meters. " Dr. Johansson warns the CPUC, now contemplating approval of vast wireless mesh network-based smart grid plans in California, against the use of wireless smart meters, citing extensive research, bioeffects, and the recent determinations of governmental bodies and authorities in Europe.
3. Q: How can the government(s) and health authorities allow Smart Meters to be installed if they are a public health threat? A: Despite several decades of research that increasingly shows low levels of RF emissions to be harmful, the World Health Organization and FCC (Federal Communications Commission, the United States agency in charge of standards regarding non-ionizing radiation) have not issued improved standards or policies, based on current science and the precautionary principle, for general population exposure limits. The current attitude of governmental bodies in the United States is that if radiation doesn't heat tissue, it is safe. Ionizing radiation heats tissue and standards for it were issued in the 1990's, and haven't been updated since then. Non-ionizing radiation is considered safe, therefore, within this standard, which a growing number of scientists, researchers, and experts feel is a flawed position. Further, Smart Meters are installed as part of a mesh network, with chronic exposure, and in the presence of many other wireless devices, and FCC/WHO standards were never developed for that circumstance. All health authorities, thus far, look to the WHO and FCC for information. The public assumes protection that is not being provided, but it is based on what many consider to be a flawed, obsolete scientific basis.
WHO PLACES RF RADIATION ON B2 LIST OF CARCINOGENS, MAY 31, 2011
SCIENTIST WARNS OFSMART METER DANGERS, JULY 9, 2011
"The scientific journal Reviews on Environmental Healthhas published a report by international scientists calling for greatly reduced exposure limits for electromagnetic radiation from power line and telecommunications technologies, including cell phones and wireless technologies.The Seletun Scientific Statement, written by seven scientists in five countries, based on a large and growing body of science showing biological effects. They say governments should take decisive action now to protect biological function as well as the health of future generations."(4)
4. Q: Are Smart Meters installed by experienced technicians? Can they cause fires?
A: No, experienced technicians are not always used by the utility companies. Yes, fires have been reported after smart meter installations, along with burnout of appliances of all types.
Read the following interview with a Smart Meter installer, to learn shocking details of how meter installers can be poorly trained, new workers who install them incorrectly at times, only given 15 minutes for each one. Incorrectly installed Smart Meters can be fire hazards. Stop Smart Meters! Exclusive: Interview with the Wellington Energy Whistleblower http://stopsmartmeters.wordpress.com/.
If you are hearing humming, buzzing in the wires, have power going on and off, your home may be at risk for smart meter fires or burn-outs of your home appliances. Read the EMF Safety Network info on the above link, report it to your local utility company by phone and in writing, document the problems, and consider checking with your electrician. These types of problems may NOT be covered by your insurance if the damage is caused by the utility company. Read: Smart Meter Arcing Hazard
5. Q: What are the health effects of RF radiation exposure for animals and humans?
A: According to Firstenberg,presented in an amended table by M. Havas, PhD of scientific findings to include FCC guideline info : At 1/100th of FCC guidelines: sleep disorders, abnormal blood pressure, nervousness, weakness, fatigue, limb pain, joint pain, digestive problems, learning problems (fewer schoolchildren promoted). At 1/1000th of FCC guidelines: altered EEG, disturbed carbohydrate metabolism, enlarged adrenals, altered adrenal hormone levels. structural changes in liver, spleen, testes, and brain, slowing of the heart, increase in melatonin, decreased cell growth, increased sterility, childhood leukemia, impaired motor function, reaction time, memory and attention of school children, and altered sex ratio of children (fewer boys); cardiac arrythmias and sometimes cardiac arrest (frogs); altered white blood cell activity in schoolchildren, headache, dizziness, irritability, fatigue, weakness, insomnia, chest pain, difficulty breathing, indigestion (humans - occupational exposure); 1% of FCC guideline: damaged mitochondria, nucleus of cells in hippocampus of brain, impaired memory and visual reaction time, redistribution of metals in the lungs, brain, heart, liver, kidney, muscles, spleen, bones, skin, blood.

Please note: RF radiation impacts plants, animals, and humans. Plant growth can be interfered with. Based on these scientific findings, the establishment of any global network that exposes all humans, animals, and plants to RF emissions may be postulated as capable of interfering with the health and growth of living beings and ultimately, may have unanticipated, devastating effects on all life (6).

6. Q: If I have a health problem that may be related to Smart Meters, who can help?
UPDATE: IN CALIFORNIA, YOU MAY SOON BE ABLE TO OPT-OUT. click link to listen, below:
CPUC ANNOUNCES SMART METER OPT-OUT PLAN / VIDEO OF MARCH 10, 2011 CPUC MEETING
Note: In the first five minutes of this video, hear Michael Peevey, President of CPUC, describe the smart meter opt-out plan he is directing PG&E to submit, within 2 weeks. In the following hour, listen to members of the public submit their statements to the CPUC. Important to know that since requested accommodations were not made by the CPUC, many disabled members of the public could not attend nor call-in to speak, from all parts of California.
A: You may go to an informed environmental physician or other health provider, preferably one who understands electro sensitivities, or your informed family doctor, to discuss the matter. It may help todownload a study describing the health effects of RF radiation and print this page. Your physician may document the condition, make a diagnosis, and if he/she feels it is related, may write you a letter that can be presented to your state's public utilities commission and local utility, to request opting out of the Smart Meter program, removing it, or making any other appropriate arrangements. Your physician may recommend not spending time too close to the meter, nor sleeping by it. He/she may make recommendations for reducing wireless exposures in general. It should be noted that some utilities may honor requests to opt out or remove the meter but most often, it is reported that most utilies will not. You may also check with an electrical engineer in your area who does consulting for RF radiation exposures to learn how to set up shielding, if you can't have the meter removed.
Legal options may be considered. Writing your local, state, and federal legislators and President Obama, Dr. Thomas Frieden of the Centers for Disease Control, the US Department of Energy (Inspector General's Office handles complaints) and the Federal Communications Commission would be helpful, also. If they don't hear about problems, they assume there are none. PLEASE NOTE OUR DISCLAIMER, BELOW. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT INTENDED TO SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL ADVICE AND IS INFORMATIONAL ONLY.
8. Q: Is there any way to shield my home from smart meter emissions?
A: It is a very sorry day when Americans, Canadians, and others in countries like the United Kingdom and Australia must shield their homes from government-funded utility devices that make them impossible to occupy otherwise. The following info is subject to our disclaimer and are merely examples of what some people have done to shield. Results may best be measured with a RF field meter or by professionals, and each individual circumstance may require a variety of solutions. Feedback from people who have attempted shielding is mixed. It doesn't always work, sometimes does, sometimes doesn't, and sometimes can make things worse. Radiation is coming at us from all sides with the smart grid mesh network system, from all the neighbors' meters, like a spiderweb or blanket of signals that are constantly pulsing, designed to pass through our buildings. There is no perfect solution to deal with this yet, except not to have it exist in the first place.
9. Q: Is it true that smart meters can generate higher bills?
A: YES. Financial ruin is described by some who have experienced high smart meter bills.
Smart Meter Consumers Anger Grows Over Higher Bills (Texas and California) -- "read about the grandma whose grandchildren are cold because she can't turn on the heater due to these outrageously high bills, and the senior whose cats are dying because of the wireless smart meter." Another comment is: "Since July, when the "SmartMeter" was installed, I have seen a 600% increase in my monthly billing!"

Lessons Learned: Canada -- make sure to see the CTV Part 3 report on smart meters for true costs that ratepayers will bear -- consumers there are seeing increases, not decreases in their bills:
10. Q: I have heard that in California, many cities, towns, and even counties have rejected the use of smart meters due to concerns about health effects. Is this true?
A. YES. At this writing (1.22.12), at least 49 California municipalities, including 10 counties, have issued resolutions or ordinances against smart meters, with many ordinances passed. For instance, Marin County criminalized the installation of smart meters in their county and Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors (July, 2011) issued a letter to the CPUC demanding an opt-out plan.
11. Q: Who, then, does the smart meter benefit?A: The utility companies ONLY are the ones to benefit, having complete financial and behavioral control over the customer. Utilities will make billions off the smart meter program, in a variety of ways. The utility interferes in your privacy - your activities in the home become known to them as data collects on what you are doing and when you are doing it, inside your home. In fact, it can be stated that utility companies have the capacity to determine quality of life, health, and/or death of the customer, with regard to the degree of emissions your smart meter emits. Any of us who have seen Erin Brockovich (film) will know that people do not want to be made sick or to be killed by their utility companies, or by anyone, for that matter.
12. Q: How can I avoid having a smart meter installed?
A: Some people have written their utilities and requested to keep their old analogs. That is a good idea but it rarely will work, as the smart grid is dependent upon everyone, essentially, participating, and they will be denied. Only the state of Maine has an operating opt-out plan approved by their public utility commission. There is a pending opt-out plan in California, with an opt-out list for PG&E customers (only). But that opt-out plan costs a lot AND it is to have a smart meter with transmitters and receivers turned off, which doesn't eliminate all the problems. Most people we have heard from don't trust a utility to keep the transmitters off, also.
Some utility customers place signs on their meters "DO NOT INSTALL SMART METER HERE", which works sometimes but ultimately, does not. Some guard their old meters and argue with the installers, driving them away. But the installation will occur when they aren't home, eventually. Still others are threatened by the utility for their refusals, with cutoff of power services.
Some say the most surefire way to resist smart meters is to fence your analog meter(s) off behind a locked gate, preferably with a snarling dog present. Others lock up their old analog meters with a chain or locked or soddered bar over it, so it still can be read. People with fenced meters have to make an appt with the utility to allow the meter reader in, or they read their own meters, by arrangement and send the info to the company. Still others have an option of Prepayment and pay monthly while retaining an analog meter (in Arizona, we have heard).
Those who make it impossible to remove the meter seem to be the most successful No one has had power cut that we know of, unless they didn't pay their bill.
