Smart Meters which allows a public utility to control how much electricity they think your suppose to consume is the biggest threat to liberty in the nation. If government feels that 62 degrees of temperature is warm enough for your home in the dead of winter, with smart meters, you become powerless to turn up the heat in your private home! The same will be true in the summer when the heat is sweltering, you will no longer have the ability to cool your homes to your liking because the government decides that for you.
Gateway Pundit reports the Smart Grid in the United States is an ongoing collaboration between the Federal Government and the Power Companies. As more and more people wake up to the threat to their privacy that the Smart Grid represents, people are doing the only thing they can and fighting it on a local level.
Earlier this week, I wrote an article describing how some PG&E customers, who removed their Smart Meter and replaced it with an analog by a liscensed professional electrician, have had their power shut off.
On December 13th in California, the Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors grilled Wendy Sarsfield, a representative from the public utility PG&E, as to why they will not restore power to those customers who have had their PG&E Smart Meters replaced with an analog meter.
During the exchange, that resembled a combination of a dog chasing it’s tail and shooting fish in a barrel, Wendy kept insisting that saftey was the main issue for which power was not restored to the homeowners. Upon hearing this, Board Member after Board Member seemed to come up with a viable, workable solution, but it was always unacceptable to the PG&E Rep.
After several minutes where the PG&E Rep began sounding like a broken record while refusing to come to any reasonable solution about restoring power to people’s homes (One of which was just to add people to the delay list and reinstall an analog meter until the California Public Utilites Commission-CPUC- finished creating an opt out program), one Board Member cut to the chase (Begins around the 5:00 Mark):
I live in New York which is just as bad as California. So far I haven’t heard anything about smart meters being installed here. But, whatever goes on in Lib crazy California eventually winds up here.
