This is what I said to the City Commissioners of Battle Creek at the City Commission meeting on Tuesday, September 20, 2016:
New, non-analog public
utility meters are sometimes called smart meters, digital meters, AMR ERT,
advanced meters, or upgraded meters.
These new meters have inadvertently created a growing number of activists
speaking out against them. The issues
include privacy, cyber security, explosions and fires, safety, inaccuracy, over-charges,
and health complaints.
New non-analog/smart metering
technology has never been subject to human safety testing.
On the website wearetheevidence.org, you will see testimonies from all kinds of
people, from medical doctors, attorneys, teachers, musicians, all who have one
thing in common: They developed electromagnetic hyper sensitivity caused by
electromagnetic fields.
New public utility meters all generate electromagnetic fields in the
radiofrequency radiation range, and thereby increase everyone's chances of
developing this potentially fatal condition.
Old analog public utility
meters do NOT create electromagnetic fields.
The BioInitiative Report,
with 29 authors, mostly medical doctors and PhD's, states:
"Bioeffects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation."
Radiofrequency
radiation is emitted by SEMCO Energy's new gas meters, Consumers Energy's new
electric meters, and the City of Battle Creek Battle Creek
We are asking for something
very simple: To keep the old, safe, time-tested analog public utility meters on
our homes without penalty. Analog meters
have been used for approximately 100 years without issue.
No one complained about
analog meters, not even the utility companies.
That is, until smart meters came along.
That's when utility companies started to complain. They needed an excuse to "fix" what wasn't
broken.
Thank you for listening. May you all be blessed.
