This one minute YouTube video shows local reporting in Spanish on the "smart" meter revolt in the Dominican Republic. Hundreds of meters were removed and put in front of the electricity company offices of the north in the city of Peidro Blanca, Province of Monseñor Nouel. 

“While smart meters or AMI meters are often equated with grid modernization, Eversource does not see them as necessary.  In fact, the company says that it has found customers are not very interested in moderating energy use based on time-varying or dynamic rates.” 

Recent research at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago Booth School provides additional confirmation that smart meters are unlikely to benefit either the consumer or the environment.

A woman with severe electrosensitivity who requires a breathing machine has been disconnected from the electric grid after swapping out the unsanctioned smart digital meter on her home and having a safer electro-mechanical analog meter installed, per her physician’s recommendations.

Based upon this judge’s reasoning, it is acceptable to invade your privacy by collecting massive amounts of data about what goes on in your home as long as you cannot prove the government utility, in this case, actually used the information for other than billing purposes.

Jolted awake at one in the morning, Veronica Onyskiw of Ontario Canada awoke to the sound of a loud revving car engine. That's how she described the noise that was growing outside her home.

Then suddenly, the lights went out and an explosion went off.

We’ve had anecdotal evidence for quite some time that utility companies remove burned smart meters from fire scenes before fire investigators can determine the source of home or business electrical fires. “A fire is considered a crime scene and at a crime scene evidence should be left alone,” said France Voiselle, a department spokeswoman.

A new Harvard Ethics paper goes into detail showing how the FCC is dominated by the very industry it supposedly regulates. How can anyone trust the FCC to be out for the interest of the people when it is so blatantly controlled by the wireless industry?

In studying, doing presentations and making videos on 'smart' meters for nearly 5 years now, personally I had my doubts I would learn anything new when I first connected with a utility worker whistleblower through Take Back Your Power.

"We should all be aware of the frailties inherent in the PSC's genetics. It is expected to protect the public's interests while working closely with the utilities that it is supposed to protect those interests from. This situation is often referred to as putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. A fox-and-henhouse situation arises when a person in charge of making a decision may have a conflict of interest."
