Public Utility Commission is working with utility companies to force “smart meters” on consumers.
I am writing about the dangers of “smart meters” and the way the state Public Utility Commission is implementing Act 129, working with utility companies not to protect consumers but to coerce them into having these dangerous meters installed on their homes and properties, against their will and without their consent, with the threat of having their electricity shut off if they fail to comply.
The studies showing the harmful effects of the radiation from electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, continue to pile up. These studies are being ignored, and residents are being told these meters are safe and produce less radiation than cellphones or Wi-Fi routers. This is untrue. These meters are an entirely different ballgame, and even though Wi-Fi and cellphones are also harmful, individuals who didn’t notice the effects of these are unable to function in their own homes after a smart meter is installed. There is a very informative TED Talk done by Jeromy Johnson, who describes his health issues that started after a smart meter was installed on his home. Such stories are becoming more common as the smart meter rollout continues across the state.
These EMFs are adversely affecting everyone, even if they are unaware of it. Some members of the population are so sensitive that they are unable to stay in their homes or workplaces because they are so strongly affected.
Residents should not have to fight to stop the utilities from harming them.
Smart meters are a part of an overall system that includes, where wireless is the means of transmission, a series of wireless antennas at the neighborhood level. The system collects and transmits wireless information from all the smart meters in your area and sends it back to the utility company. They do so by using microwaves or radio frequency radiation, just like your cell phone or wireless router at home.
A smart meter produces microwave non-ionizing radiation that penetrates the walls of your home and into your home 24/7, 365 days. The utility companies argue that because the radiation being emitted is non-ionizing that it’s safe.
It’s not safe. Numerous studies point to the adverse biological effects associated with the non-ionizing radiation used by smart meters.

Is Smart Meter Radiation Worse Than Cell Phone Radiation?
Daniel Hirsch, a lecturer and expert in nuclear policy at University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), has written a report that reveals smart meters emit 160 times more cumulative whole body exposure than cell phones. He states that:
“the cumulative whole body exposure from a Smart Meter at 3 feet appears to be approximately two orders of magnitude higher than that of a cell phone, rather than two orders of magnitude lower.”
The big difference between smart meter radiation and cell phone radiation is that having a cell phone or not is a matter of personal choice, if you don’t want a cell phone you don’t buy one. Smart meters, on the other hand, are being forced on populations around the globe.
If you are suffering from insomnia, dizziness, headaches, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, memory loss, lack of energy, tinnitus (ringing in ears) and lack of concentration, it could be the direct result of the smart meter that’s installed in your home.
2 Minutes Exposure To Smart Meter Radiation Changes Your Blood smart meter radiation live blood analysisAt a distance of 1 foot from the smart meter, with just 2 minutes exposure time, the difference in blood samples between people that have been exposed to smart meter radiation and those that haven’t been exposed is remarkable.
Smart meters are not optional, and utilities are installing them even when occupants don’t want them.
