!!! REVENGE AGAINST THE SMART METERS!!! HOW TO MAKE THEM DUMB!!!

Has anyone suggested yet to put the foil on when you're home at night and using a lot of power, lights, TV etc. Then taking iit off when you're at work and so on, during low use levels. This way the power company will get readings, just not your actual readings. These will be low readings.

Talk about yer payback.

bump::bump:

This thread needs a bump. OG&E in Oklahoma is stealthily installing these meters right now.

THEY JUST DID IT TO ME and I had put a padlock on my meter.

They cut it off and threw it on the ground. AND, they did it on the ONE day that I was not home. HOW IN HELL DID THEY KNOW THAT?

I am home 90% of the time. How did they know when I would be gone?

Not to mention Oklahoma's law concerning the privacy of the data - it is non-existant. Basically they can sell any and all of your data that they collect to ANYONE!

Am going to try the foil. But I am also going to hit the legislature and lawyers. THIS IS GETTING ABSURD PEOPLE!

this happened to me. very emf sensitive. had to move my child and I out. got sooooo sick. still recovering .lost my security deposit, but felt like I almost lost my life.
SMART BOXES ARE UNHEALTHY FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. WAKE UP AMERICA
thank you OP

Edison Electric recently installed a smart meter on my house, without my permission or knowledge. When I read about the dangers and invasion of privacy caused by these smart meters and discovered that I now had one, I was pissed. Too late to do anything about it? WRONG!!!

You see, the antenna for these meters is located inside the glass (or plastic) bulb. All I had to do was to cover the entire glass bulb with aluminum foil, making sure that the foil was grounded to the metal housing behind the bulb. This shields against any RF or Microwave transmissions, which both protects you from the radiation and also defeats the entire purpose of the smart meter, since they can't read it remotely.

Then I sat back and waited for them to realize that they weren't getting any readings from my house. I checked the foil periodically to see if it was still there. Today it happened. They had to send some one out to rip the foil off of my meter to get a manual reading! I found the foil ripped off and laying on the ground. Naturally, I just re-applied the foil and now look forward to them having to send somebody out each and every month to remove the foil if they want to get a reading. If everyone would do this, it would defeat the entire smart meter program! They would have to re-think all of the money that they are spending to install these dangerous and privacy invading devices simply because people can render them dumb with 10 cents worth of aluminum foil!

I say everybody should rise up and "FOIL" this disgusting smart meter program!

Hey, its my house, I can apply foil where ever I want!

It is your house

You can build a decorative double layer copper box surrounding the meter to hide it's ugliness
all you need is a lift up door for them to read the dials when they come by
Thin Plywood lined inside and out with copper and grounded is all you need

So glad this is being confronted. These things are everywhere now in Southern California/Los Angeles. A group here was going up against the utility company with an M.D. writing letters for some who had documented 'environmental sensitivities' to be excluded from these meters. The M.D. included documentation of laws that are in place to protect those with environmental sensitivities. (I can get copies of these laws if needed, don't have right here now though) The local utilities blew it all off and did not budge an inch. Some people have installed anti-EMF devices in their homes to combat these evil EMF's that these LAME meters emit. There is a site called LessEMF.com that helps protect in some ways. BTW, did you know they make anti-EMF paint? Sheets? who would have thunk? LOL
The foil is genius. Count us in. We will spread word around here bigtime.

If you think one of those evil little boogers is bad, try living in a large apartment building and the utility box which holds 20-50-100+ of these things sits outside very close to your window. SOOOOOOOOOOO bad!!!!!
Tin Foil is great. Keep this site going. It is nice to see this on here.
And BTW, I would trade an average bill if need be for a decent night's sleep, like we had in the days before these things.
To whoever said 'just call the company'. No way. This area has tried lawyers, lawsuits, M.D. guided lawsuits. You have got to be kidding me if you think that would work. Its the Mother F-ing PTB.

FOIL!!! now I can go to sleep happy. I lOVE IT!!!!


ps how do you foil a whole panel of these things? hmmmm. thinking.

thanks, gotcha
