Just Say No to Big Brother’s Smart Meters by Orlean Koehle
replacing the meters with the analogue meters. They assured me that they are concerned about people’s health. By six weeks in, my cardiac symptoms were so severe and erratic that I had to move
out. I rented an apartment, which turned out to be unsafe as well. The Smart Meters are everywhere. With the intensification of my symptoms, I have become EMF/RF sensitive and now have the above problems around cell towers, Wi-Fi and other sources, accompanied by skin rashes and burning. I am being evaluated by a cardiologist. I have always had a strong, healthy heart, even told so by doctors. The cardiologist has sent me for an evaluation by a neurologist as well.
Five people have reported symptoms in my home: My father has experienced
headaches and visual migraines. My mother reported having pressure on the upper part of her chest and palpitations. One neighbor exposed to these 16 cluster meters is experiencing headaches and chest tightness. Another neighbor has difficulty opening her eyes in the mornings after 8 hours by the meters. Her ophthalmologist could find no explanation. She said she uses her fingers to open her lids. All of the above symptoms have occurred since the smart meter installations. The symptoms are worsening for everyone.
for my well-being. I already have a prior immune disability and I thought I would be legally protected by the ADA. I don’t know where it is safe for me to live.
I am running scared living this nightmare. I don’t know where to live and fear In addition,
the financial impact of this disaster compounds. I pay my monthly mortgage and rented a place, which due to symptoms, I cannot stay in. I am not sure that I can rent or sell my condo in good conscience. I am seeking medical care including treatments not covered by any insurance. My out of pocket costs continue to grow.

More Testimonials - People Speaking Before the CPUC (California Public Utility Commission) San Francisco, Dec. 2, 2010:
The CPUC had as one of their agenda items an application from the EMF Safety Network to reopen the subject of Smart Meters and modify their prior decision (D.06-07-027 andD.09-03- 026).
The Network asked that the Commission “require PG&E to demonstrate that the Smart
Meter program is consistent with delivery of safe, reliable gas and electric service at reasonable rates.” Of course, PG&E opposed the request of the Network and asked for a motion by the CPUC to dismiss it.
As I read the handout about this and the background information given out by the CPUC at the hearing, I found out that such a request by the EMF Safety Network had happened on 4 different occasions in this same year, 2010: April 6, April 10, May 27, and July 23. Each time PG&E had filed a motion to dismiss the request from the EMF Safety Network. Commission had ruled each time?
And guess how the
report. Public comment was granted before the Commission gave their decision.
This time was no different as you will see at the end of this About 30 people
spoke. We were only given one minute each. Many people told of the personal effect to their health they were experiencing because of the Smart Meters being installed on their homes, or even their neighbors’ homes. Some spoke about other things such as litigation if someone got sick and sued the landlord. Others spoke about where is the science behind this? Others spoke about the invasion of privacy. They asked in their testimonials that the Commission place a moratorium on the Smart Meters until further updated studies could be made. Here are some of the comments:
