Smart meters ignite fierce debate in BC

Another volley fired at smart meters

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 22, 2012

Citizens? Group Seeks Injunction Against Smart Meter Program

A complaint has been filed under Section 47 of the Utilities Commission Act requesting an injunctive freeze on the wireless component of the Smart Meter Program without delay. This action is being taken to engage the Commission s administrative function as a regulator of BC Hydro in accordance with the rule of law; only by operation of the rule of law can the public interest in health, security, privacy and safety be factored into Smart Meter Program decisions.

Up until now, the Commission as a regulator has been left out and, with that, any consideration of the public interest has been eliminated from BC Hydro s decision. The action taken is about preserving the regulatory oversight and democratic process we uphold under the rule of law in British Columbia. BC Hydro cannot be allowed to act with impunity, without regard to the public interest, on a matter that raises serious concerns with respect to human health, environmental integrity, individual privacy and civil liberties.

The Clean Energy Act purports to excuse BC Hydro from having to obtain a BCUC issued Certificate of 'public convenience and necessity' but not with respect to the wireless and snooping components of the Smart Meter Program. The Commission is requested to issue relief on an urgent and interim basis, without hearing and without delay, so as to effectively freeze any and all activity being carried out by BC Hydro in contravention of section 45(1) of the Utilities Commission Act. Any delay in the issuance of the relief sought will allow BC Hydro to continue with unauthorized expenditures associated with the Unauthorized Extensions. This Action is taken to preserve and give weight to the public interest with regard to the deployment of the Smart Meter Program in British Columbia.

Also, 3AW Mornings Presenters Justin Smith and Nick McCallum slammed Premier Ted Baillieu for not honestly addressing public concern and outcry about the roll out. Justin was adamant the Baillieu government's review was purely for political reasons.

'We have been absolutely and totally conned by Ted Baillieu. The government had absolutely no intention of issuing a stop to the program when they called for a review,' Justin Smith said.

Class Action Suit Seeks to Limit Smart Meter Use

Class Action Suit Seeks to Limit Smart Meter Use

California s Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) is again coming under fire for its use of wireless-equipped smart meters, this time in the form of a class action lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed by Northern California electromagnetic radiation consulting firm Wilner & Associates, lists ten grievances ranging from alleged misrepresentation of radio frequency (RF) levels emitted by the meters to alleged unlawful use of property. The filing also claims PG&E has violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by allegedly ignoring the rights of customers who suffer from medical symptoms they believe are caused by electromagnetic radiation from the meters.

The lawsuit calls for more than $2 million in sanctions, $10,000 fines per customer regarding various allegations of health-related discrimination, and requirements that PG&E obtain written consent for every smart meter installed and provide an analog meter at no cost to any customer who requests one.

Recent research shows that RF emissions from smart meters are within federal limits for such emissions and below the levels emitted by other devices that are commonly used in and around homes (see 'Radio Frequency Exposure from Smart Meters Very Low, Says Study,' EBN Apr. 2011).

Smart or dumb? Select board hears meter debate

'It s criminal not to address the health issue - it boils down to money,' she said. 'People come to Vermont to get away from this stuff.' But Keefe, in a rebuttal, took issue with that assertion, disputing that the weight of available scientific evidence linked radio frequency transmissions, such as those produced by smart meters, were linked to any known health hazard.

Today a group of Northern California residents returned a dozen 'Smart' Meters, which they had hired licensed electricians to swap out with analog meters, to PG&E. Police were called, the office closed, with the meters left inside. No one was arrested or cited. See news stories below.
