We CAN SAY NO to Smart Meters **SPREAD THE WORD**
 
We all have to step up to our goverment. No to smart meters. My whole neighbour hood has one now but us. We stood up and said no. Hydro has no legal athority to change our meters. Post the doucuments from this site, and hopefully some one is home to help stop this blunder.

Thanks.
I just printed out 2 copies, one to put just under the meter and the other to mail to the BC. Hydro.

Is your concern with smart meters really the transmission of wireless signals?

I'll happily step up to our government, but certainly not over smart meters. The sooner one is installed at my home, the better. I'll be able to set up a solar array & wind generator, get a plug & play grid tie inverter that can be installed without a permit, & start sending power back to the grid. Well maybe not enough to sell, but it will slow down the meter on a good day.

What exactly is the objection with Smart Meters anyway? I understand why the grow-opers don't like them. But if it gives me more info on my own usage, and allows me to better manage it, I don't see that as a bad thing.

I also don't see any reason to say no. It's the way of the future!

In all fairness the meters belong to BC Hydro, not us. We contract them to supply us with electricity if we don't like the equipment they use then cancel the contract

The issue of Smart Meters is that they needlessly emit a lot of RF radiation which kills plants and drives away the birds, bats and the bees. Also anyone with an RF reader can tell when someone is home so they know when to rob you blind.

They will drive anyone nuts who has extreme electrical/magnetic sensitivity. If going under high voltage lines bothers you a smart meter will drive you nuts.

There is also other technology that can be used to get the info... ethernet over the neutral line. Similar to X10 control systems.

The company(Corix) that does the smart meter installs are not using licensed electricians. There is already cases of houses burning down due to an improper install of a smart meter.
