Comments on: Opt Out of APS Smart Meters Now

By: Charles Lamadrid

APS is currently charging a one-time fee of $50 (+tax) plus a permanent $5 per month fee that is recurring to get your smart meter exchanged with the old-style, analog meter. You can find this information at aps.com by doing a search for “smart meters” and choosing “meter exchange information.” From there you choose “Learn More” at the bottom of the page. Then choose “non-standard meter” and then “Requesting a non-standard meter.”

Then, read the information provided.

I went along with the fees because I’m suffering from EMF hypersensitivity and figured it’s small price to pay to try to get healthy again and because I could afford it.

I don’t know what to tell prospective customers without the funds to afford the exchange. It’s highway robbery, of course, and something should be done about it but, for now, I’m totally invested in my recovery.

I hope this helps.

Just Opted out of this as I received a letter today that stated that I was being upgraded to a smart meter and that I would receive a 3 day notification on my door , I called the number on the page and opted out , she tried to convince me to change my mind several times and I still just kept saying I wanted to opt out . She noted my account and opted me out putting my meter installation on permanent hold. She stated that they were working with the corporation commission to get a fee for those who opted out of the program . also that the other devices in my home were much more dangerous than the smart meter I just said yes I would still like to opt out and Thank you . Easy as pie, Do not wait to get a notice, Call right now and opt out .

@ Larry – Council (AKA The Moronic Convergence) has been given plenty of information on all aspects regarding “smart” meters. Myself and others have seen to that. They have been given enough proof to ban the meters from Sedona under the City’s nuisance ordinance. Unfortunately they are too stupid to understand the issue (one wonders if they even read what we sent them over the past year) and, in a case of the blind leading the blind, their own attorney has told them they lack the authority to ban the meters. It’s not the first time he’s been wrong.

I do not call them the Moronic Convergence for nothing. They have earned the name. It is what they are. For example when they were discussing “smart” meters (for 10 whole minutes), poor council member Williamson even desperately blurted out, “I can’t decide science!” She should resign in that case since this is not the only issue that involves science. Comments made by the others were almost as painfully bad.

Be interested to know, Misters Normand, the recent status of your case if you might share with us?

Does the Council have new information also? Thank you for your time and effort to bring an enlightened conversation forward.

8pm Movie: Why in the World are they Spraying?
Since the release of the groundbreaking documentary “What in the World are They Spraying?”, millions have woken up to the damaging effects from chemtrail/geoengineering programs. As a result, movements around the world are being formed to address these crimes. While many who were previously unaware of these programs are now taking action, the question now that is often asked is “Why” is this happening. Michael J. Murphy, Originator and Co-Producer of “What in the World are They Spraying?” in association with Barry Kolsky have produced “Why in the World are They Spraying?” which will answer that question.

“Why in the World are They Spraying?” is an investigative documentary into one of the many agendas associated with chemtrail/geoengineering programs, “weather control”.

The IEEE weighs in on ‘Smart’ meter fires . . . We are seeing a spate of report from around the United States—and indeed around the world—of fires believed to have been caused by smart meters that were faulty, incorrectly installed, or connected to circuits where there were unfortunate and unforeseen effects. This appears to be not just a matter of freak incidents that may or may not have taken place here or there. In a compilation made by the EMF Safety Network, which specializes in EMF and RF precaution, there are at least a couple of dozen smart meter fire reports from Australia to Canada and virtually all regions of the United States, and some of those reports concern a couple of dozen fire incidents. In some cases fires appear to have originated in the meters themselves, in other cases in appliances like microwave ovens or refrigerators (as in the photo above), because of power surges.

To be sure, those reports are not necessarily going undisputed by local utilities and energy companies. In one instance, for example, California’s PG&E and fire officials have taken issue with an initial report of meter induced fires in Santa Rosa; a short circuit in the distribution system blew out a number of meters, both conventional and two-way, the local fire chief said. On the other hand, just last week Commonwealth Edison of Illinois confirmed three smart meter fires in its operating area, and earlier last month its sibling company Peco Energy suspended smart meter installations in the Mid-Atlantic states after 15 reports of smart meter fires, one in Philadelphia.

Britain’s Electrical Safety Council considers meters generally a fire hazard, as cables or fuses deteriorate with time, and it has warned electricity users against storing flammable items like rags or paper near electrical intake equipment.
Obviously all companies with smart meter programs, and all their suppliers and sub-contractors, are going to have to take a close look at the issue of fire hazards. This is just the beginning of a difficult story. Companies installing smart meters already have run into a lot of consumer push-back because of concerns about privacy, security, and–sometimes–higher rather lower electricity costs. The last thing the smart grid needs is meters causing fires.

Jeff D.,

Why don’t you learn how to write an intelligible sentence [as opposed to an intelligent sentence] before posting comments?

P.S. While you’re at it, why don’t you learn how to punctuate a sentence as well?

The “science” has been proven that ‘Smart’ meters emitting electromagnetic and radio frequency and constantly communicating with your cell phone, IPad, IPod, plasma TV, laptop, cordless telephone, insulin pump, pace maker, cell towers, etc., saturating us with radiation, messes with our 10 trillion cells and permanently damages our DNA.

About 5,000 studies have been “peer reviewed” by qualified, credible researchers. Here’s a chart showing “Examples of Effects Found in Research and Epidemiological Findings
