SDG&E. Enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

“I have just spent $2000 in filters to reduce the level of Electromagnetic radiation in my home from these<br />

damn smart meters. The Energy Minister is focusing on safe installations. What about long term health<br />

effects?? Every person with a smart meter in their home is continuously exposed to harmful wifi. I am sensitive<br />

to wireless frequencies as well as electricity after having gone ‘wireless’ 2 years ago. My life and my family’s life<br />

has been turned upside down! We no longer have wireless equipment in our home. However, there seems to be<br />

no fix to the damage that has been caused to my body from the exposure. I can’t go anywhere without literally<br />

being ‘burned’ by these smart meters. PLEASE STOP THE ROLLOUT! For my sake and the lives of every<br />

Australian.<br />

After reading an article about the <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> I looked into whether they were coming to our town and sure<br />

enough they were. I called FP&L to let them know I do not want this on my house as I am a brain tumor<br />

patient and after researching these I come to understand they are a potential health hazard. Well, we got the<br />

run around at first, they sent the ‘fact sheet’ regarding RF safety standards and the organizations they use to<br />

back up these claims. FCC (who goes to the FCC for their health concerns?), California Council on Science &<br />

Technology (which was found to have conflicts of interest who funded & approved SM programs, ignoring<br />

invited data), Electric Power Research Institute (couldn’t find anything on them), nor Maine Center for Disease<br />

Control. I did find President’s Task Force on Cancer found exposure to power frequency EMF causes or<br />

contributes to cancer. Physician’s are increasinly diagnosis brain cancers from exposure to RF frequency<br />

radiation.<br />

I have a letter from FP&L stating we will not be getting a SM installed ‘for the time being’ but the girl stated<br />

we will have no choice as they are going in all over America and we do not have any choice! For now I/we are<br />

on an opt-out for a few years at least, but as I’m reading I don’t thing this is going to much matter as I do get<br />

out and walk my neighborhood with my dog twice a day and walk to my grocery store, I like to get out in my<br />

garden too!<br />

If our representatives in office are truly the ones that run FP&L and these power companies and we are really<br />

at their mercy, then I as an American, hold them accountable for the DNA damage to newborns, EMF sensitive<br />

people and their problems, epilepsy’s that will be on the rise along with increase in brain cancers.<br />

Their silence is consent!<br />

Regarding the question – any issues with appliances after the <strong>Smart</strong> Meter install. Within a few<br />

days of installation I had the following occur:<br />

Air Conditioning compressor unit failed – = $3500<br />

Laptop computer started running warm and then failed = $1800 new workstation<br />

TV failed – replaced with new energy star thin plasma – = replaced for $2500<br />

Bose surround system failed – replaced for $399 under Bose customer service plan.<br />

Circuit card failed on heater / blower system stopped – = $500<br />

I have checked around the city of Brentwood CA and know of 9 other air conditioning units that<br />

failed within days of the install of <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong>.<br />
