I just received a call from the local Electrical Agency. PGE They want to use "smart meters" on all the houses that allow the company to monitor electrical usage without the use of a person.
There has been much controversy about these meters and also the emissions from them.
I know little about this and was wondering if anyone else can shed some light on the subject.
Also with WiFi and many commercial establishments have those, hotels, schools, colleges, and what is the difference between the use of Wi Fi as compared to using a smart meter.
The Public Utility Commission is looking into the request of the power company to install the meters on everyone house and or business. Those who opt out may be "forced" to pay a higher fee also.
I am sure this is coming to all who now get power off the grid if not sooner than later.
Also there is a concern about the accuracy of such meters and the health effects.
Just wondering. john
