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.

Hmmm, that sounds pretty bad!! How can that be?? What is it in these Smart Meters that creates so much electrical/magnetic sensitivity? Wouldn't they have to consume a lot of energy, too, to be worse than high voltage power lines? Sounds pretty dangerous to me.

And what does that make cell phones, if I understand that chart in the next post? Good thing some of us have really thick skulls or our brains would be all mush!!

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

It's almost funny, In Abbotsford we recently got smart water meters and nobody said a peep. Same transmitting devices, and far less control than the hydro meters will provide. How many of you have phoned to report your power out immediately after it going out? these will do that, meaning faster restore times. They also get rid of grow ops stealing the power because you can tell the load per house on every line, if they don't add up, then something's going on.

Just curious.......... were did they put the water meter? I had to replace the line connecting the city main to my house a couple years ago and I can't think of how they would place the meter without digging up the outside line again or them putting the meter inside my house.

Cheers,
Vic

It's the one in the driveway, I have an access panel there. They did our whole area, I'd read that it was all of Abbotsford, maybe only some area's? it came shortly before the bi-monthly water usage bills instead of the yearly amount on property tax

edit: found the site http://www.abbotsford.ca/engineering...ter_meters.htm

I don't have an access panel. I wonder if they bring in water meters into Vancouver how they will address this?

Cheers,

Probably the same as the hydro ones and HST....

If there is nothing wrong with them, then why are some County's putting a hault on them? Have you looked a the findings of these Smart Meter's. What a crock of S**T. Our goverment got swindled it to these, 3.9 BILLION Of our tax money going to the states and many jobs lost, never mind the health concerns. Thanks TimT for pointing that out. Our meters work fine, why fix something that isn't broke? Grow opps will find away around these anyways. No matter what Hydro says, they know where the powers goes. If we don't stand up, the CROOKS get richer and we the people get screwed.

We all need to reasearch this like i have. I have given you some direction, now make your decisions. I personly like to keep our money and jobs here.
