(including heat and cooling) remotely without our permission at anytime. NVE<br />

wants to do this through Home Area Network (HAN) so they can implement time<br />

of use pricing and energy use behavior modification from consumers through a<br />

program call O-Power. Some engineers and energy conservation experts believe<br />

that the smart meters program—in totality—could well actually increase total<br />

electricity consumption and therefore the carbon footprint as well.<br />

10- The FCC guidelines for RF emissions states that no one can have a device on<br />

there home that has more than one antenna. The Sensus smart meters deployed<br />

by NVE have 2 antennas and are a transmitting surveillance device. NVE has<br />

been exempt from the rule. FCC says that in order to transmit the two way<br />

communication of customer’s personal energy information, NVE must first<br />

obtain the customer’s written permission especially when it comes to the<br />

collection and possible resale of private information. NVE did not get anyone’s<br />

permission.<br />

11- On December 28 th in response to PUCN’s request NVE made 4 proposals for<br />

those customers who wished to “opt out” of the NVE smart meter program.<br />

Unfortunately, all of the options will cost the customer big bucks to keep their<br />

analog or non-transmitting meter. There will be an initial re-install fee of over<br />

$100 and an additional $15 monthly fee into perpetuity. Two of the options will<br />

either be an analog or digital non-transmitting meter and the other two options<br />

will still be collecting and transmitting our personal information. This needs to be<br />

an OPT IN situation for those who want the smart meter and those who don’t<br />

should be allowed to keep their old analog as the standard meter. NVE wants the<br />

PUCN to change rule 16 allowing the <strong>Smart</strong> Meter to be the standard. This would<br />

be disastrous for consumers from both an economic and personal<br />

privacy/security standpoint.<br />

12- These meters give total control of your electrical use to NVE – they can turn off<br />

your appliances including your heat and cooling remotely without your<br />

permission at anytime. NVE wants (HAN) Home area network so they can<br />

implement time of use pricing and implement . NVE wants behavior modification<br />

from consumers.<br />
