Meter Metrics
Everything you wanted to know about smart meters but were afraid to ask

"As promised, we refuse to allow BC Liberals to walk over our rights and freedoms as set forth in the Canadian Constitution and Charter.
"The legal battles are moving ahead to the BC Court of Appeal, since the government-controlled BC Utilities Commission has so far refused to implement a moratorium and bring the Smart Meter Regime to a full public hearing, which is the only decent and right thing to do given the many and serious problems and risks with this program -- unapproved rate increases, ridiculous costs of implementation, health risks to every living being, fire risks, in home privacy violations and unresolved risks to our whole electrical grid from hacking and cyber terrorism.
"In our appeal, we point out the purposely misleading information put forth by BC Hydro and expose the truth that the average smart meter emits 14,000 wireless transmission signals in a 24 hour period, one signal every 6 seconds, and whole body radiofrequency radiation exposure from a smart meter can easily be 480 times greater exposure than a cell phone. Read the Appeal letter to BC Utilities Commission under "New Evidence" to understand the truth about Smart Meters.
"Don't let BC Hydro pull the wool over your eyes with the misrepresentations of just 6 transmissions per day at less than a minute, or that smart meters are less exposure than a cell phone. Know the truth for yourself . . .
