So when I saw these SMs ticking away at such a close distance, I went to the internet to figure out a quick-fix<br />

barrier to use until I can get these meters switched out to the analogue meters. I discovered that a decent<br />

barrier is tin foil and I have since covered the meters with the foil. I noticed an improvement immediately. I<br />

have not had allergy symptoms for the past month, and I am able to sustain normal focus while working at my<br />

desk. I do not think this is any coincidence.<br />

It is my desire that the KW Hydro company replace these <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> with the analogue meters as soon as<br />

possible.<br />

This afternoon, my doorbell rang. A very large, intimidating man was standing there, and informed me that he<br />

was going to turn my power off for 20 seconds to install a new <strong>Smart</strong> Meter on my house. I had never heard of<br />

a <strong>Smart</strong> Meter, and told him I didn’t want it. He said it was required by the power company. I wanted more<br />

time to research it, so I told him to opt us out until I was able to make a more informed decision. He said there<br />

was no opt out option and that we had no choice in the matter. He said he would leave a pamphlet on the door<br />

and then proceeded to change the box regardless of my objections. I then called the power company and they<br />

refused to do anything about it. I am very upset because we were never told about the smart meter, or that<br />

there was a delay option. We certainly would have called had we known!<br />

Being around <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> gives me nausea, headaches and heart palpitations within minutes. Fortunately<br />

my neighborhood has not been completely installed with the meters yet. I no longer can go for walks around<br />

town because I can feel the stabbing of the electrical impulses. Same when driving through neighborhoods<br />

where they have been installed. Please stop the madness. I notice DDT and lead are now banned in this<br />

country. Since the wireless industry has been totally unregulated so far, it seems that it will just be a matter of<br />

time before the health impacts become too great to be ignored any more. I see no reason not to be able to keep<br />

the analog meter. PG&E can save money by leaving it there! Meter reading is already included in our rates as is<br />

the rollout of the <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong>.<br />

_______________________________________________<br />

Since the smart meter was installed on my home I have been plagued by Tinnitus, very loud and consider<br />

staying in my home toxic. I also have leg twitching and my whole body convulses like I am shocked. This is<br />

torture. I find when I am away from my home the Tinnitus subsides to none at all.<br />

Overall I feel my health is downgrading, also having heart palpitations. I am considering taking this meter off<br />

of my home since phone calls to the utility company don’t bring them out to replace it with the analog meter. I<br />

am also considering a class action suit. This is unconscionable with this device being imposed and infliction of<br />

its microwave propagation upon us. My ability to think degraded and I am trying to focus above the noise in<br />

my head. My rights to enjoy the quiet peace and privacy of my home has been invaded and violated. I will be<br />

contacting attorneys.<br />

The actions of the CPUC, SCE and lack of prompt redress is criminal. None of Californians or Americans<br />

should have to withstand this.<br />

I would like to have the <strong>Smart</strong>Meter removed from my home immediately. I was not asked permission prior to<br />
