Want to opt out of a Smart Meter? Get on the list.
If you’ve been following our blog you know that we’re getting closer and closer to having an opt out option for SDG&E Smart Meters. The next few months will be a critical time for the CPUC to decide exactly what these opt out policies will look like and how far reaching they will be.
At UCAN, we want to make sure that the CPUC understands how many consumers are concerned about Smart Meters. One of the biggest frustrations is that it doesn’t seem that SDG&E is keeping a list of customers that want to opt out.
We want to make sure your voices are heard, so we’re compiling lists of SDG&E customers that want to opt out of their Smart Meter. By doing this we can give the CPUC a snapshot of the vast numbers of consumers concerned about Smart Meters.
If you are an SDG&E customer and you want to opt out of a Smart Meter, let us know! First, contact SDG&E (1-800-411-7343) and tell them you want to get on their delay list. Send an email to optout@ucan.org with the following information:
(1) Your first and last name
(2) Your SDG&E account number
(3) If you currently have a Smart Meter installed (Y/N)
We’ll keep you updated as the opt out workshops proceed.

SMART METER HEALTH PROBLEMS AND CANCER.
2. The WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION on May 31 2011 placed the Non-ionizing radiation coming from Wireless smart meters (and some other wireless devices) on the Class 2-B Carcinogen List.

3. The NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH months ago (Feb 2011) found biological changes in the brain after only minutes of exposure to non-ionizing radiation.

4. LABORATORY SCIENTISTS have observed?(1) Human Cell Damage?(2) DNA Chain Breaks?(3) Breaches in the Blood-Brain Barrier?from levels of non-ionizing radiation lower than emitted by WIRELESS Smart meters.

5. INSURANCE COMPANIES Hired Independent Laboratory Scientists and these scientists also observed Cell Damage and DNA Chain Breaks and now the Insurance Companies will NOT Insure Liability damage from Wireless Smart meters and other wireless devices.?TV Video (3 minutes):

Cell Phone use and other devices are Voluntary and can be shut off at the user’s discretion. Smart Meters can NEVER be turned off.

9. RADIATION MEASURED FROM SMART METER MOUNTED ON A HOME (once active in the utility system) SHOWS RADIATION TRANSMISSION PULSES APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY FOUR SECONDS 24 HOURS PER DAY traveling through the bodies and brains of the inhabitants of that home.?Youtube Video (6 minutes, 1st minute is sufficient):

Note: many of the tests on non-ionizing radiation (the type of radiation emitted by smart meters) have been done using instruments other than smart meters because smart meters have only been in people’s homes for a very short time.
But as a Wireless smart meter emits 100 times more radiation than a cell phone, it is not difficult to project. If a machine gun (smart meter) fires 100 bullets in the same time that a pistol (cell phone) fires one bullet, it is not difficult to project the harm that the machine gun can inflict, even if the tests were done with the pistol.
