So the Grinch backed down….
After a week of being pummeled by local government
officials, the public, and the media for disconnecting
electricity to families who had been injured by ‘smart’
meter radiation less than two weeks before Christmas – the
power is now back on for Bianca Carn’s family, and the
others who were forced to shiver in their dark homes just so
PG&E could make a point.
Most of the people who returned their meters on December 7th
refused to allow PG&E to replace either a smart meter or a
so-called “non-transmitting digital” meter on their homes.
Living without electricity for these people was preferable
to living with a ‘smart’ meter- something perhaps PG&E
hadn’t counted on. Others like Karyn Sanz- whose family’s
livelihood required immediate re-connection, accepted PG&E’s
offer of a “digital meter.” Immediately, according to Sanz,
she experienced headaches and heart palpitations, backing up
reports that suggest dirty electricity from these meters is
also dangerous.
Since PG&E has (falsely) claimed that they have no analog
meters left, they were forced to save face by installing a
device to bypass the meter – allowing unmetered electricity
to flow to the homes. They plan to base their billing on
last year’s usage. This device- pictured to the right- is
used by installers as a place holder- and has never been
safety tested for long term use, typically only used for a
minute or two during problem installs.
The utilities are
behaving like they are still fighting a battle against a
small band of vocal activists. What they perhaps haven’t
realized is that this movement has gone mainstream, and they
are now pitted against the public at large- who are quickly
catching on that all is not right with this so-called ‘meter
upgrade.’ Needless to say, this is the same public that pays
their salaries, and fattens their shareholder accounts-
something they do care desperately about. This kind of ugly
episode- where paying customers get shut off at Christmas-
is what happens when Wall Street controls our basic public
services.
Nevertheless, it
was remarkable how the community came together over the past
week to look out for our own. In less than a few hours
yesterday we managed to raise more than $1200 to help these
families get a safe power supply to their homes- without
even posting an appeal on this site. This fund will continue
to grow and be available for all those who are forced to
take action to protect their health and safety. If you would
like to donate, please contact info@stopsmartmeters.org for
details and ask how you can donate to Stop Smart Meters!
Safe Power fund.
The Grinch may have backed down for these 5 families who
were in the spotlight- but he is still the Grinch, and he is
still stealing Christmas from thousands of families who are
suffering health effects in their homes. For example,
Gretchen Vandereen who spoke on Dec. 7thabout her 3-month
bout with insomnia- returned home last week to find that
PG&E had threatened her neighbors with electricity
disconnection- trespassed, vandalized her meter defenses,
and installed 3 new smart meters. She hasn’t slept properly
since then and doesn’t know what she’s going to do. Since
she hasn’t been featured on the evening news, PG&E is
hanging her- and thousands like her- out to dry.
If PG&E truly
cared about safety, as they insist ad nauseum to the Santa
Cruz County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, then they must
remove all unwanted ‘smart’ meters and replace with analogs-
no questions asked. Local politicians claim to be in favor
of choice- so let’s hear them call for an immediate and
no-cost return to analogs- for those households and
communities who want them. Not in Januray or February- but
TODAY- so people can live in their homes without suffering
terrible symptoms over the Holidays.
