Note: Duke Energy spokesperson Meghan Musgrave Miles, speaking in a recent Xpress article about the topic, notes that “Both the FCC and the World Health Organization have stated that the small amount of RF [radio frequency energy] emitted by smart meters poses no threat to human health.”
Press release from Swannanoa Valley for Safe Technology:
Swannanoa Valley for Safe Technology is calling to order its first meeting, “Smart Meters – Make an Informed Choice,” at The White Horse in Black Mountain on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018. The event is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. Our mission is to educate the citizenry so that they are empowered to make wise and informed choices concerning Duke Energy Progress’ rollout of smart meters in Buncombe County.
The threat of public and environmental harm from wireless radiation is real and growing. Local control is needed to ensure community safety, welfare and compliance with federal, state, and local laws.
Local citizens will present the hazards of smart meters which include health risks, what to do to protect yourself, environmental impact, how EMF microwave radiation affects the body, cost-risk-benefit analysis, safety issues and the illegal invasion of privacy. Josh Hart, director of StopSmartMeters.org, will address attendees via Skype.
Take Back Your Power, the award-winning documentary uncovers the shocking story behind why hundreds of local governments and millions of ratepayers are standing against the multi-billion dollar rollout of smart utility meters. With compelling insight from whistle-blowers, government agents, lawyers, doctors, researchers and environmentalists, Josh del Sol’s ‘Take Back Your Power’ investigates the claimed benefits and emerging risks of a profit-based global initiative that seeks to change the way we live. What you’ll discover will surprise, unsettle and ultimately empower you.
Peer-reviewed published studies link electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation (EMFs) to health problems including: fatigue, headaches, sleep problems, anxiety, ringing in the ears, heart problems, learning and memory disorders, increased cancer risk, and more. Studies show radiation harms nature, and children are especially vulnerable. Precaution is advised by healthcare and science experts. In California and other states, prudent avoidance of EMFs is recommended public policy.
Jerry Day, an environmental researcher and video/media production specialist, states: “Invasive and dangerous technologies have been built into a new generation of electric meters. Smart meters enable data to be collected on individuals and delivered to elite globalist policy makers and power collectives to enable them to control and exploit populations on a local basis. Global “governance” is not consensus-driven and it is only good for extracting wealth and freedoms from populations by force and dictate. Just as all major empires ultimately fail, global governance is a flawed concept which does not allow for local geology, climate, culture, history, aspirations and citizen rights.”
New Mexico regulators rejected smart meters. According to New Mexico activist and author Arthur Firstenberg, “The decision means there will not be smart meters in the near future in New Mexico’s metropolitan areas: Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Clayton, Ruidoso, Tularosa, Alamogordo, Silver City, Lordsburg and Deming.” Maui, Hawaii won its cases against its electric companies and has no smart meters. In California, 21 cities are fighting the battle to get rid of smart meters. Morganton, NC has no smart meters.

Of course Duke is going to say there are no harmful effects, but the fact is ‘if it ain’t natural…it ain’t good for humans’. It’s that pure and simple. But to big business the mantra is ‘if it makes money we don’t care if it’s harmful to humans and we can find/bribe a scientist to say so’.
Let’s look at why we do not need smart meters.
#1 A smart meter will hurt or even KILL disabled homeowners who have disabled medical implants. The average of deaths by smart meter radiation and smart meter fires is almost 100 every month in North America.
#2 Did you know if your power company “turned off” the power to your home when they did a smart meter install, your chance of a smart meter fire increased by a factor of 10,000.
#3 Your power company has access to all of you private power information. Eg When you make tea, when you turn on your alarm etc. This private information is sold to Google for huge sums of money. Ask your power company what the second radio transmitter in your smart meter does. (ZigBee)
#4 A smart meter will cause cancer to return if your family members who are fighting cancer at home. If they come home from the hospital and sleep near a smart meter, they will die. Check with the US Cancer Society website.
#5 Smart Meter RADIATION will turn off breakers in your home. Both AFCI’s and GFI’s get turned off by the radiation from the smart meter.
#6 You smart meter is very accurate, BUT, the software (firmware) is programmable. Your bill has nothing to do with the power you use.
#7 Smart meter radiation is breaking Ionic Bonding.
#8 A huge expenditure for a huge loss. Billions of dollars to purchase something that does not general generate any power and each smart meter need 4 watts to operate. One million smart meters use 4,000 KILOWATTS of energy to operate.
#9 The second radio transmitter is for ZigBee. If you want your power company to MONITOR your home 24/7, then you are in luck. Don’t forget, this private information will be sold. Why do you think your power company spends BILLIONS of dollars and does not generate one watt of extra power to sell?
