Smart Meters - Public Service Commission

the SmartMeter device being installed on my home. I was never consulted about the program. I hereby
demand it’s removal.
Since the installation, I have had headaches, problems sleeping and humming in my ears. I now understand
that there are health concerns related to the wireless network that the SmartMeters use, and I do not want this
device on my home or in my neighborhood. My old analog meter worked just fine, and I do not want to risk the
health of my family with this SmartMeter.
_______________________________________________
I am requesting the immediate removal of the Smart Meter at my home. I am having severe health issues:
headaches, nervousness, inability to sleep, a lowering of my immune system so that I am frequently sick with
head colds and cough.
I have called several times and have sent a letter from my Doctor to PG&E with absolutely no response. My
telephone conversations were met with no understanding that my request to remove the Smart Meter was
valid and important. I was given the PG&E policy line by rote, and my complaint duly set aside.
_________________________________________________________
I am writing to request for a zero cost Opt-Out Smart Meter Program. I would like the smart meter to be
removed from my home immediately as possible and replaced with an analog meter. All data shows the only
benefit for these meters is to PGE. To date PGE is unresponsive as to why my bill is outrageously high when it
is only myself and my wife in our home. There is no care, concern or response as to what health effects we
might be suffering. To date we are experiencing short term memory issues, sleeplessness issues, headaches.
We did not authorize this meter and were never consulted or given a choice to have it. We are extremely
conservative in our power use. I am extremely concerned about the health effects of the smart meter and what
they might be doing to us both and our neighbors. It is a travesty that the CPUC could appoint themselves
approvers of the PGE smart meter rollout without any actual health, economic studies and actually mandate
them without actual legislation homeowner approval. This is a non-legislated private corporate/government
deal. I thought that could not happen, but here we are today.
There is actually ZERO PROOF that smart meters are benefiting households or the energy grid regardless of
the sales and marketing pitch. There is however considerable research and anecdotal data in the form of
studies and many reports demonstrating ill health effects, extreme RF radiation levels and effects, and alleged
fraud on the part of PGE – and NO ONE IS BEING HELD TO ACCOUNT! THe CPUC is now widely considered
a corrupt committee.
Official action is needed now to allow a no cost opt-out program. The meters costs have been illegally passed on
to the unwitting consumer with out our consent and PGE consumer billing costs are skyrocketing when the
promise was savings! Please hold all accountable for foisting these “smart meters” on the public at our expense
without public permission. Restore faith in the rule of law in California. Please act now start with a Zero Cost
Opt-Out Program for all Californians.

We were never informed a new meter would be installed, we don’t even know when it was installed, we just
happened to notice it had been changed sometime in the last year. Also in the last year, I have been suffering
from dibilitating headaches, which have been diagnosed as “Primary Stabbing Headaches” I suffer from these
headaches on a daily basis now.
