An unbelievable exercise in stupidity, in my opinion, occurs with regard to Smart Meters (SMs). By now, I think most people know of their fire and explosion vulnerabilities due to the materials used and construction design, which really are not as safe as we are told. That's been proven by Canadian firefighter Brian Thiesen and electric utility company whistleblowers regarding many AMI SM brands.
However, the most asinine part about SMs, I think, is this—at least in the PECO / Philadelphia, PA metropolitan area: The proximity to natural gas line meters of fire-and-explosion-prone electric AMI SMs. Since AMI SMs are known to arc, and being only a foot or two away from the incoming natural gas line and meter, what's the potential for spectacular SM fires and/or explosions to both electric and natural gas meters?
Perhaps, no one has taken into consideration that there's a section of the PA Public Utility Commission Act that expressly states utilities cannot cause harm to customers, which I will be studying in detail and report on my findings. Sending RFs/EMFs and "dirty electricity" through a home's electrical wiring, plus fire-prone AMI SMs on the home's outside wall, certainly do not constitute safe! People are telling us they can't sleep at night worrying if their house will catch on fire from the Smart Meter. No one should have to live under such duress, I think. What's your opinion?
Now, here's PASMA's Press Release: WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN SMART METERS CATCH FIRE ON NATURAL GAS LINE METERS
earth clamps that can't grip, remote switches switching on neutral and no laws on junk cheap fan motors which generate a huge EMF field. You the public are screwed with modern day laws. Coffin engineering at it's finest. (When there are enough dead bodies then the standards will be changed - eventually).
It's not just your standards / practices suck - Australian standards seem to be in a similar rush to the third world common denominator where most of these products are manufactured.
