'SMART' DIGITAL UTILITY METERS ALERT*

*American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM): Smart meters are dangerous; we need a moratorium on installations *World Health Org (WHO): Smart meter radiation emissions are a Class 2B carcinogen *UCSC Radiation/Nuclear Expert Daniel Hirsch: 1 smart meter = (up to) full body RF radiation exposure of 160 cell phones SAY NO TO ALL RADIATION-EMITTING WIRELESS METERS AKA SMARTMETERS! In our community and across the US and Canada, utility cos are now replacing all our existing (hazard-free, safe) analog gas, electric, & water meters with wireless / "smart" meters, also known as: AMI, remote meters, digital meters, electronic meters. They emit hazardous pulsed RF radiation, and have enormous problems and issues:

ITS VERY LIKELY YOU HAVE ONE ON YOUR HOME NOW

Higher Bills (in some cases 200-300% +); reliability and accuracy questions. Smart meters do not save energy, and may in fact use more. Reported Health Impacts from microwave rf (radio frequency) emissions are huge - many people become ill after meter installation; symptoms include severe dizziness, heart rhythm disturbances, high blood pressure, memory problems, insomnia, tinnitus/hearing buzzing, ear pain, agitation, headaches, nausea, seizures; may worsen existing health problems such as inflammatory conditions and cancers. Over next few years more people will become affected especially children, elderly, and those with health conditions. Privacy Invasion all your energy usage data goes to utility cos & 3rd parties Risk to Electrical Grid security through hacking; increased risk for burglary (can tell when you are gone); risk from electromagnetic interference Billing Increases likely with the near-future imposition of time-of-use rates Interference w/ appliances and other wireless; shocks, and even fires Remote disconnect of your services now possible by utilities cos or hackers Meter reader job loss

In all, 57 municipalities (cities and counties) in California have taken action opposing Smart Meters or criminalizing Smart Meter installations because We the People have made our voices heard.
