Washington State needs a bill prohibiting electric utility companies from installing a smart meter on a customer’s premises—or requiring a customer to use any advanced meter—without the customer's consent. Opt-out must be FREE of fees.
Why is this important?
Smart meters pose known serious risks to health including cancer, and pollute the environment. They increase the likelihood of theft by monitoring a household's schedule. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has called for a moratorium on the installation of transmitting utility meters.
Present legislation, H.B. 2289 - Enacted – 5/11/2009, allows the installation of “'innovative energy technology,' to include smart grid and/or smart metering." This law must be changed.
