Smart Meter Opt-Out Letter

By filling out your information and pressing the "Send" button you are sending the following message by e-mail directly to the CPUC. A copy of the message will be sent to you and the website administrator.

Your Message:

California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco, California 94102

This letter is to inform you that as a California Utility customer, I oppose the installation of wireless Smart Meters at my home. I do not want to be exposed to the radiofrequency radiation (RF) from the meters, nor do I want any more RF antennas in my neighborhood. People who have these meters report billing overcharges, security, health and interference problems, and fires.

I will not opt-in to the Smart Grid Home Area Network system by installing an interior meter, nor will I install RF equipped “smart” appliances inside my home.

RF is under investigation as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and the National Toxicology Program. Blanketing our homes and neighborhoods with a suspected carcinogen, without our consent, violates our right to safety.

Please impose an immediate moratorium on Smart Meters.
