Michigan Stop Smart Meters says the devices threaten
residents' privacy, health, safety and pocketbooks.
Michigan
Stop Smart Meters will host a public meeting in the
East Community Room of the Ferndale Public Library from 6-8
p.m. today.
The event will include the presentation, “‘Smart’
Meters — Helping Us or Hurting Us?” addressed by a panel of
speakers, and will be followed by an open discussion.
Lectures will include the future of “smart
appliances” and how residents can protect themselves from
the downsides of these technological advances.
Smart Meters were designed as advanced utility
meters that can record a business or consumer's energy,
water or gas usage in real time and in greater detail.
Groups like Michigan Stop Smart Meters say they are
concerned about how the utility-backed meters threaten
residents in various ways. They point to the privacy
concerns of breaking down home activity by the minute,
economic concerns about the high rates consumers pay and
dangers from the meters continual emission of
electromagnetic radiation.
Here’s a look at what the speakers will specifically
cover in tonight's Michigan Stop Smart Meetings event:
Dr. Richard Meltzer – Overview: Meltzer will take a
look at how society got to the point of “smart” appliances
being forced upon citizens and why regulators have failed to
ask the right questions or obtain meaningful evidence on
which to base decisions.
Diana Ostermann – Harmful Radio Pulse: Ostermann will
draw on her background as a retired manager in the cell
phone industry to explain how “smart” meter radiation has
effects that can outweigh those from cell phone usage.
David
Sheldon – Threat to Privacy: Sheldon’s background in physics
and economics will guide him in explaining how “smart”
appliances are an invasion of privacy and economically
inevitable if citizens don’t put a stop to it.
