Letter to the Editor: May Iowa follow suit!
To the Editor:
I highly commend an Oklahoma state representative. He is taking steps to do what is right. A news article you need to read is titled ‘Oklahoma’s Exemplary AMI Smart Meters Removal and Consumer Protection Bill: A Model For Other States To Follow’. Type the first part of the title into your search engine and it should pull it up.
The bill he has proposed is also a must read. Type 2018 OK HB 2872 into your search engine. Go to Regular Session LegiScan. When in the website, go to Text: Latest bill text.
This bill talks about the non-ionizing radiation that is in radio frequencies which is emitted by smart meters and cell phones is harmful. He mentions some scientific reports that confirm this. He talks about how the state has the constitutional duty to protect the welfare and health of the citizens. He talks about information not being disclosed due to proprietary rights.
He talks about utilities must provide a choice of what type of meter is to be installed on the resident’s or business property. The choices must include an analog meter which is a nontransmitting electromechanical meter. They must allow the resident’s or business to use an analog meter at no extra cost. He talks about how the utility company is responsible to remove any wireless meter that has been installed with the type of meter the ratepayer desires.
Utility companies must have written consent from the ratepayer before installing a wireless meter. Utility companies after the passing of this bill must inform all ratepayers that have had a wireless meter installed that this has been installed. The ratepayer is to notify the utility company to remove it, if they want it removed. The utility company is then responsible to promptly remove the wireless and replace it with the ratepayer’s choice, even an analog. Utility companies are prohibited from shutting off utility due to the ratepayer’s choice of meter.
Utility companies are required to notify ratepayers in writing that wireless meters are not mandated by federal or state law. Therefore, the utility companies are required by law to obtain written consent from the ratepayer before installing a wireless smart meter.
Utility companies are prohibited from discriminating against those who have medical conditions that are made worse due to these pulsed radio frequencies. They are prohibited from installing anything wireless anywhere near the place. This includes any technology that is equivalent to being wireless. Utility companies will be held responsible and accountable for any damages caused due to the installation of a smart meter against the ratepayers wishes or without the ratepayer even knowing about it.
The purpose of this bill is to protect ALL the citizens within the state. It calls for a state wide moratorium on smart meters. The state is to hold hearings so anyone that has any kind of problem with smart meters can be heard. Utility companies are to implement meter readers at no extra charge to the ratepayer or a consumer call-in or email reading system for utility meters.
Plus, utility companies are only to collect the amount of utility used and nothing more. The total amount of utility used is all the company needs.
There is so much more in this bill. Please go to the bill and read it. Let him know how much you appreciate the fact that he is stepping up and speaking out on behalf of truth and the people. He is going against the tide. When someone does that, they truly do need the vocal support of the people. He was elected by the people, for the people and not the multi-billion dollar industries that so many of our politicians prefer to represent. He is taking his position seriously. We the people need to take our position seriously. May politicians from all fifty states follow in his steps.
