are being deployed rapidly and stealthily around the world. Orlean Koehle explains that the smart grid is part of the United Nations Agenda 21 and likens the smart grid to an old plan for technocracy. The opt-out option has been considered, but this does not protect someone from powerful smart meter transmitters on neighboring homes. Having smart meters with radio off has also been proposed, but experts warn that the switching mode power supply of smart meters still presents a health risk, and that analog meters are safer. Some people may be affected by the voltage spikes smart meters generate on the electric wiring even prior to RF activation. Smart meters have been installed in many places, against homeowners' wishes, and those who refuse them have had to lock their meters to prevent stealth installations. More can be read from the links below. Safety Measures Taken for Smart Meters The following are some measures that people have suggested out of concern for the various risks of smart meters: Delay List: Some people have called the delay list to postpone the installation of the smart meter, or put up signs or legal notices refusing smart meters, although stealth installers have sometimes ignored this. Analog Meter Locks: Other people have put up fences and locks on their analog meters. See also Smart Lock. However, some locks have still been broken through. Letter to Utility: The Center for Safer Wireless provides a letter that can be used to notify the utilities that you do not want a smart meter: Letter to utility. According to the Center for Safer Wireless, the US Energy Policy Act of 2005 indicates that utilities should ask customer's permission before smart meter installation, and no federal law mandates smart meters. Neighborhood Representative: Some people have found smart meters installed when they were away from house. It has been suggested to find a retired person in your community to represent your street/neighborhood with a signed affidavit. Replacement of Smart Meters to Analog Meters: Others who received smart meters, have had an electrician replace it back to an analog meter, e.g. see the Safe Electric Meter Replacement Kit. Stop Smart Meters! claims that the utility does not have the right to turn it off if you are a paying customer. However, as of December 2011, it appears that the utility has resorted to disconnecting the power. Under pressure, they restored some of these homes' power, but not everyone's. Alternative Energy: Some people may use alternative energy such as solar energy to prevent reliance upon the utility-- however, this should be done with
care to minimize dirty electricity, e.g., from the inverter. This only covers electricity, however, and not wireless water or gas meters. It is important to understand one's legal rights. What the utility policy mandates or says is law, may not be what the government really requires. Further Resources Stop Smart Meters!

But after a few months of experiencing strange symptoms, many people finally realize that their symptoms are aggravated when they are in an area where SmartMeters have been installed (their home, work, or into the community). The wireless SmartMeter transmissions seem to be what causes these symptoms. View the EMF Safety Network Wireless Utility Meter Safety Impacts Survey
