So I talked to the owner of this house right here in Pasadena. I talked to the owner. The owner does not have a smart meter on this house, on the front part of his house. There's no smart meter. No smart meter. So So the house did not burn. The back house is the part of the house that had the smart meter, and everything in the back of his house is burnt. No smart meter. Smart meter. No smart meter. Nothing. Nothing's burned. All the trees, but the house state is perfectly fine. But the back house is completely gone, and that's

Smart utility meters are being installed on millions of homes, but some homeowners claim they are causing health issues. Carol Garcia, a homeowner in Rochester Hills, says she experiences symptoms like bloody noses, headaches, and insomnia since the meters were installed. She blames the meters, which use electromagnetic frequency to transmit energy usage data. Other Metro Detroiters have also reported similar symptoms. However, DTE, the energy company, insists that the meters are safe and secure, using low power radio transmissions. Garcia believes that the public is unaware of the potential health effects. A state representative has expressed concerns about the issue.

Government remotely installed geofencing and geotiming on a Hyundai Kona EV without consent during a software upgrade. The new terms allow setting range and time limits on the car remotely, with exceptions for emergencies or legal requirements.

A smart meter caught fire at a house in Pasadena, but the main part of the house, which lacked a smart meter, remained undamaged. The back of the house, where the smart meter was located, suffered significant fire damage. Witnesses reported that PG&E employees arrived quickly, with one removing the smart meter while firefighters worked. This incident follows a similar occurrence in Kermit, where an electrical surge at a smart meter reportedly caused a fire.

High winds and new evacuations are prompting crews to fight the Palisades fire. A Pacific Palisades family, Patrick and Evan Golling, creatively used their pool water and a generator to protect their home. Their father insisted on being prepared for fire season, leading them to set up a pump system. When the fire approached, they used all their pool water and even helped neighbors by draining their pool too. They operated the generator and pump for about five hours, dousing their property and checking on others. Their proactive approach highlights the importance of preparation in fire-prone areas.

California sent an emergency text to all cell phones, causing an immediate 2,500-megawatt drop in demand. This confirmed the speaker's belief that demand management can be automated with modern technology. The speaker suggests automating demand response using smart devices, Wi-Fi, and electric vehicles as bidirectional power resources. EV owners could gain additional value by putting power back into the grid. The speaker emphasizes that technology now allows for managing demand and optimizing energy use, not just reducing it. This technology enables smoothing out the demand curve and utilizing distributed variable resources. The speaker is optimistic this will happen.

The speaker received a high electricity bill of $696.27 from TXU. They recall a time when they could sleep with just a fan, but August's intense heat led them to turn on the air conditioning and set the thermostat to 71 degrees. The speaker acknowledges this was a "sin of comfort" and a "betrayal," but they couldn't bear sweating through multiple showers daily. Despite being "shackled" by the high bill, the speaker admits they would make the same choice again to experience the "chill" of air conditioning.

Officials from BGE say one of the power plants they rely on was somehow disconnected from its electric system, raising the threat of widespread power outages. Emergency repairs are underway as officials figure out if there's enough power available. In the meantime, BG is encouraging customers to conserve their electrical use through the evening. They say the easiest way to do that is by adjusting your thermostat, blocking sunlight from coming through windows, and try to avoid using any large. Customers are also asked to take steps now to prepare for a possible outage that includes everything from charging your phone and finding flashlights to making alternative arrangements. Also, your medical equipment relies on electricity.

The Republican lawmaker at the Ohio State House introduced a bill this week that would allow utility companies to automatically adjust your thermostat at your house. House bill four twenty seven would create a voluntary demand response program. Customers would be allowed to sign up to let their utility company temporarily adjust energy use, including raising thermostat settings or cycling water heaters during periods of high demand. The bill's sponsor, representative Roy Klopenstein, said it's meant to help homeowners homeowners and small businesses save money while reducing the load on the power grid. An analysis from the Ohio Environmental Council estimates the program would generate between 34 and $100,000,000 in savings for the utility system depending on how many customers sign up for it.

Today, we discuss the reasons to opt out of smart meters. In California, there are 13 million smart meters installed, raising concerns about their potential to cause wildfires. A PG&E meter reader mentioned that if smart meters catch fire, they can be remotely turned back on. Reports from Ontario highlight incidents where smart meters exploded near gas lines, leading to denied damage claims by utility companies. The Ontario Fire Marshal linked smart meters to multiple fires, suggesting a widespread issue. Notably, homes without smart meters in Los Angeles remained unharmed, while those with smart meters suffered extensive damage.

Speaker describes receiving their first power bill under the new rules in which I pay for AI to plug in to our power grid. PSE and G did absolutely warn me that this would happen, but not that we’re funding AI. The bill more than doubled—from about $235 to $666.39—in Northern New Jersey, even though usage is on par with last year. They ask if the neighborhood tapped in or if the company allowed AI to tap in. As pissed as they are, they’re documenting the moment they become an extreme cheapskate. They reference a video of parents making kids pedal to power a TV and wonder if a bicycle setup could power their house. They’ve even checked whether wind turbines are legal in their neighborhood. "Just know every time you use AI, you're jacking up your own power bill."

A retired mechanical engineer has secured his analog meter with a lock and chain and a notice reading, "Attention. Do not install smart meter," because he believes smart meters are dangerous. He claims smart meters emit high-frequency radio waves that penetrate the body and can cause health problems. He says these radio waves go through concrete walls. Because his bedroom is next to the meter, he is worried about his and his children's health. He also claims that smart meters catch fire due to very high voltage inside.

Last Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were the hottest days on record. Extreme temperatures are now a common occurrence, affecting us all globally. The world is getting hotter and more perilous for everyone.

Speaker 0 describes smart meters as more than just electricity meters, asserting they function as personal surveillance devices. They claim smart meters sense when devices are turned on or off, measure watt usage (even for small devices like an electric toothbrush), and transmit that data wirelessly through neighbors’ meters to the power company. The data allegedly records electric consumption every minute, stored forever on computers the public cannot access, revealing when someone is home, asleep, on vacation, hosting visitors, using lamps or tools, running a business from home, or bootlegging energy off the grid. The speaker asserts this creates a vivid profile of private living patterns and indicates at-home presence on the night of a murder. The speaker contends this is not electrical metering but personal surveillance—a warrantless search daily. They claim personal life information travels from the meter to the power company, to the government, police, and insurance companies, and to anyone who partners with the power company to access it. The speaker further asserts that even without a direct data-sharing agreement, information can be intercepted via the wireless signal from the meter, because smart meters are radio transmitters. They identify a one-watt radio station licensed by the FCC as the transmitter sending all electrical life details to a data center. Examples are given of authorities in Ohio, Texas, and British Columbia using smart meter data to pinpoint marijuana grow houses, enforce business licenses, and punish private home activities, implying surveillance beyond what residents accept. The claim is made that the power company can sell personal life data to anyone, and that unusual power usage patterns can be used as probable cause to raid a home for growing marijuana or running a computer server without a license. The speaker describes this level of surveillance as “about as big brother as it gets,” with utility workers going door-to-door to install meters. They express a personal opinion that smart meters should be removed from homes, arguing that power companies cannot claim the right to install surveillance devices on residences. They equate smart meters with wiretapping and note wiretapping is illegal in all U.S. states and federal territories. The speaker asserts that allowing a smart meter is tantamount to walking around with a constant webcam on one’s head and accuses the industry of relying on implied consent—the idea that permission is granted if the utility can change the meter, even if residents don’t understand the scope of what’s happening. As a practical step, the speaker advises telling utilities not to change the meter, noting that older meters were billed successfully. They claim to have sent a certified letter denying installation of a smart meter and mention a copy of their letter is available in the video’s description for viewers to adapt. They state post office certified mail is used to obtain a receipt. The speaker concludes that if the meters are installed on every house in America, it would cease to be America.

A Republican lawmaker at the Ohio State House introduced a bill this week that would allow utility companies to automatically adjust household thermostats. House bill 4.27 would create a voluntary demand response program in which customers could sign up to let their utility company temporarily modify energy use, including raising thermostat settings or cycling water heaters during periods of high demand. The bill’s sponsor, representative Roy Kloppenstein, said the program is intended to help homeowners and small businesses save money while reducing the load on the power grid. An analysis from the Ohio Environmental Council estimates the program would generate between 34 and $100,000,000 in savings for the utility system depending on how many customers sign up for it.

In Pasadena, the owner of a house reported that the front part of the house does not have a smart meter, and it remained unharmed. In contrast, the back part of the house, which had a smart meter, was completely destroyed by fire. The front house and surrounding trees are intact, while the back house is entirely burnt down.

California plants ban plants due to wildfires. 'the government shut off the water when the fire was happening,' and 'they wanna ban plants.' They claim 'smart meters were catching on fire every time there's a fire,' and that 'the insurance companies even know,' adding that 'if your house catches on fire from a smart meter, the insurance companies actually will not cover you.' The speaker cites lawsuits claiming 'faulty PG and E smart meters started their house fire,' and says the meter 'pulses 14,000 to 190,000 times per day,' a claim PG and E admitted in court. They reference a 2019 document 'how insurance companies know this' and contend 'smart meters actually jack up your electric bill by two to three times the price.' They advocate 'analog meter instead of a smart meter' and note California considers per mile road charge as gas tax revenue is expected to decline.

PG&E is currently under criminal probation, and concerns have arisen regarding their involvement in the anti-smart meter movement. Smart meters may have contributed to fires globally, with pulse frequencies affecting local infrastructure, such as a water station. It's crucial to investigate what PG&E knew about weather conditions during the incidents, especially given their meteorology resources. Additionally, there are claims of explosions rather than typical fires, with evidence of melted aluminum and unusual heat levels. The situation is being compared to past fires, but the rapidity of recent events raises alarms. There's a call for accountability regarding the causes of these incidents and for Congress to address the financial issues facing the company.
