Smart Meters - Public Service Commission

no jurisdiction over my utility company and was instructed to contact my City Council. I have spoken several
times at City Council meetings but the council members are relying on the information provided to them by
the CPUC, the California Council of Science and Technology, and Burbank Water and Power. It is the most of
vicious of circles. There is no remedy. There is no advocacy.
Several of my neighbors are experiencing similar symptoms, complaining of insomnia, headaches, difficulty
concentrating. The mesh network and the meters are a scourge, depriving us of our human rights and our civil
rights.

I am writing to file a complaint against PG&E and CPUC due to the health hazards of installing a Smart Meter
in our home without our consent. When we first discovered its installation in May of 2010, my husband called
PG&E with the request to have it removed, and they refused. On July 31, 2010, I went into the living room,
about 6 feet from the wall that holds the Smart Meters, and felt a sudden zap of energy that instantly had my
chest and throat aching, sending my already delicate health into immune collapse. It took several days before
the aching in my chest, and the intense fatigue and brain fog that accompanied it, abated. We hired an
electrician to come to our home with his radiofrequency radiation meter, to determine the frequency and
strength of the Smart Meter radiation in our home. At the time of his reading on Wednesday, August 4th, the
meter was pulsing about 3 times a minute, and inside the house the radiation from the Smart Meter was
definitely high in the living room.
This kind of radiation is not good for anyone​s health, and as someone with chronic health issues and immune
dysfunction, to have a Smart Meter in our home is completely unacceptable. I am writing to request that the
Smart Meters at our home be removed immediately, and that action is taken to remove these meters from our
area.

We had requested by phone that the smart meter not be installed at our residence. A couple of weeks or so
after that, we noticed that our old analog meter was gone and a smart meter had been installed.

Within 1 hour of having our smart meter installed my wife started getting heart palpitations, headaches, brain
fog and trouble sleeping. I have had brain fog and trouble sleeping. When we leave our home for a day then our
systems return back to normal. We went to visit our family away from our home for 2 days to celebrate
Thanksgiving and again felt much better. When we returned so did the problems.
We have our own business and have to work out of our home. It seems that America was a country of freedom
of choice and not a country where things can be shoved down our throats and when we ask for reasonable
changes we are turned down. We should have the choice of what goes on our house that is reasonable and safe
to our health.
If you are normal or of normal health than a smart meter may not effect you but to the percentage of people
that have medical issues please do not discriminate or destroy their ability to function normally or lose
productivity.

I find it deeply troubling that the utility did not offer me the option of a new meter. Things like this should
ALWAYS be opt-in only. I am also deeply concerned about the health effects of the meters. This should be
