The F'ing SMART METERS[/u][/b]

First off I can only speak about what I personally observed. I believe- based on what I observed- that there is a chance that due to inadequate training some meters were not installed properly. I do feel that Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, Corralitos, to name a few should be informed enough to prepare for what could realistically turn into another San Bruno. (emphasis added)

SSM: Of course [b]at the time of the explosion San Bruno was 100% installed with smart meters[/b]. Are you aware that PG&E and the CPUC have not yet responded to questions about what safety precautions they took while installing smart meters adjacent to gas lines? Seems like a fairly reasonable question given that the technology can generate sparks.

WW: It really doesn't surprise me that they haven't answered questions regarding the smart meters and San Bruno. When I asked one of my managers who was in charge of training "is it possible in your opinion that a fire could start from an arc from a meter located above a gas meter" (which always has some blow off gas emitting from it) he would not give me a direct answer! He avoided the question like the plague, quoting some plumber he knew and on and on, avoiding an answer. Could the San Bruno fire have been started by an arc from a meter? I'll let you decide. The definition of an electrical arc is: "a sustained luminous discharge of electricity across a gap in a circuit". The definition of ignition: the process or means (as an electric spark) of igniting a fuel mixture. Gas is a fuel. I'll leave it at that. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put it all together.
