Opt Out Texas rule to Opt Out of Electrical Smart Meters.
As the title states “opt out” who on the green screen as used the option to opt out of their smart electrical meters. I would be very interested to find out if anyone has and what their initial install and monthly cost has been.
Texas is one of the few states that allow for the choice. The PUC allows this option. The major hurdle is the ridiculous up front cost barriers the utility will attempt to curtail this finically. From the initial install fee, the monthly meter fees, meter reading and finally the billing fee. In Fannin county it is $60.00 to install and $60.00 monthly maintenance fee for the Analog meter. In other counties the cost is higher.
My major concerns. Medical if the customer is on any type or kind of life support equipment oxygen generators, iv infusion equipment, heart monitoring equipment this list is long. Secondly, one must understand the meter takes a reading approximately every 15 minutes. This action is accomplished via RF with these major concerns immediately pace makers and defibrillators. Both carry warnings regarding exposure to RF, electrical shock, electromagnetic occurrences as well as other issues. Then the carcinogenic issue associated with the elevated RF exposure. Understanding these meters. The electrical supplier has the ability to turn off the service at your meter for whatever reason unpaid bills, computer input mistakes or computer system hack or failure at the main company computer. WITHOUT prior notice.
Additionally to the medical concerns. With the trend evolving, more appliances are made RF capable its not any stretch to see the utility grid simply turning off all appliances they deem not necessary to reduce the overall load.
Not to forget nor miss understand, advancement in modern technology security breaches happen all the time and with a smart meter everything in your home that can communicate - will communicate under the correct circumstances. Our government has shown by demonstration this is a common practice.
This is not a request to have attacks made its simply a request to see if any other person has encountered or attempted this Opt Out option.
