esides being unAmerican, and my electric bill tripled!!!!! No exaggeration my electric bill tripled!!! Thanks<br />
Happy Holidays Edison. Edison stole his major work from Tesla and continues to steal your $$$. Be prepared<br />
for your bill to double or triple and who knows about if they cause cancer or not. Cigarettes didn’t officially<br />
cause cancer for 40 years so who are you going to believe? The profiteers?<br />

Starting last November 2011 I noticed my PG&E bill increased<br />
significantly even though its been a mild winter. I’ve made no changes<br />
to my gas and electric usage? Recently PG&E mailed me a “Your Home<br />
Energy Report” it states that my home is much less energy efficient<br />
using 11% more energy than similar homes in my neighborhood? I decided<br />
to sign into the PG&E website to monitor “my usage” as suggested on<br />
the “Your Home Energy Report”. The website portal states that my home<br />
is more efficient than 15% of similar homes in my neighborhood? I also<br />
discovered that the PG&E “my usage” portal does not populate actual<br />
hourly usage data for 48 hours which is a two day delay? That’s when I<br />
decided to maintain a power usage diary this is very easy because I<br />
live in the residence alone and I work 12 hours a day. I’ve maintained<br />
the diary now for 7 days and the PG&E “my usage” data is stating that<br />
power is being used while I’m not at home and it spikes at various<br />
times throughout the day to 1.6 kWh? Maybe my refrigerator is turning<br />
on causing these power spikes? Then I decided to turn off the main<br />
electrical breaker before leaving for work. I did this for two days<br />
leaving perishable food in iced coolers in the garage. The PG&E “my<br />
usage” data is still reporting that my home is consuming an average of<br />
.600 kWh of average power and is spiking to 1.6 kWh with the power to<br />
the home completely turned off! It is obvious that the new smart meter<br />
is not very smart or PG&E somehow has my meter mixed up with one of my<br />
neighbors or the smart meter is reporting data that is completely<br />
incorrect?<br />

It would seem that my <strong>Smart</strong> Meter has some other capabilities that I thought were fantasy when I first read<br />
about them. My “made in China” electric heater seems to have an antenna in it that the <strong>Smart</strong> Meter can<br />
communicate with.<br />
How do I know? My heater went off at 2 am this morning and wouldn’t turn back on until 10 am. The<br />
apartment went down to 39 degrees. Then my electric blanket went off and wouldn’t turn back on until 10 am.<br />
They are the ONLY two items that shut off.<br />
And to top it off, I do believe the utility has discovered a “hack” for Kill-A-Watt meters…With nothing running<br />
but the 130 watt-hour fridge last night, the Kill-A-Watt meter said I used 7 KWH with a 130 watt-hour fridge<br />
over 12hours. Even if the fridge was on high and ran the entire 12 hours, it can only use 1.560 KWH.<br />
This <strong>Smart</strong> Grid and <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> have got to go.<br />
