Warning! Smart-meters are Inaccurate and a Health Risk

(Last Updated On: August 2, 2021)

 

Smart Meters might not be as smart as you think!

 

 

We hear all the time that the electrical grid in the U.S. is obsolete and in dire need of upgrading.  And in order to do this, we need to upgrade to “smart meters”. What exactly are smart meters and what will they do for us?

 

The present state of Technology

Currently, electrical meters (and gas meters) are analog meters, meaning that they simply measure the flow of electricity (or volume of gas) to your house. A meter reader must stand in front of the meter and record the current meter reading.

When this data is compiled by the utility to evaluate your energy consumption, the previous meter reading is subtracted from the current meter reading, resulting in the most recent record of energy usage by that individual. This may be over a 30-day timeframe, over 35 days, or even over 90 days, depending on how often the meter is read.

There are times when the meter reader can’t get to the meter to read it (15 inches of snow) and there are times where the length of time between meter readings is not consistent. This is one advantage of the new digital meter. The meter sends real-time data back to the parent utility, which can be on a second-by-second basis.

So the premise is that readings will be recorded on a consistent basis. Is this really a good thing?  Do we really want a utility knowing what time we turn on our toaster or how long the hot water heater runs in the morning? Is this something we are worried about?

 

 

Responsible consumption of utilities

What about the concept that in the future, if you use too much energy over a given time period, you will incur additional charges? The concept is that tariffs could be imposed for consumption during times of peak usage and credits would be offered for non-peak usage.

This would give the utilities a breakdown (minute by minute) of all electrical (and gas) usage within the home. What if you take 15 minutes to enjoy a hot shower? You may say so what, but in a world conscious of global warming, you may be charged for wasted heat.

The concept might sound a little “Orwellian” but there are other concerns. A “smart” meter might be an acceptable idea if it actually reduced costs, but numerous studies document that these meters can be wildly inaccurate.

 

 

Results of a Scientific Study

In a study published in the scientific journal IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Magazine conducted by the University of Twente and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, both in Holland, researchers found these meters can report energy usage 582 percent above actual usage.

The report states that five of the nine meters tested gave readings much higher than the actual power consumed. Only two meters gave readings that were as much as 32 percent lower than actual power consumed. The erroneous readings occurred in spite of the fact that all the meters met legal requirements and were certified.

Modern energy-saving lighting systems such as LEDs, heaters, and dimmers influenced the accuracy of smart meters.

These kinds of devices create non-linear, fast switching, electrical loads. The researchers identified that meters with a “Rogowski coil” current sensor gave false high values when fast switching devices were used.

 

A good book

The writer of this book tells his personal story, his first year with a Smart Meter. He warns us of coming problems for utilities and customers alike. He will show you a couple of tricks to outsmart the Smart Meter.

 

 

Microwaves and its dangers

If that were not enough to make you switch your smart meter off, you may want to consider that these meters emit non-ionizing microwaves at a rate of 10,000 to 200,000 pulses per meter a day.  This is the radioactive equivalent of 160 cell phones. Repeated exposure to excessive radiation can trigger migraines and neurological conditions, as well as various types of cancer.

 

 

The World Health Organization has classified non-ionizing radiation as a Class 2B Carcinogen, the same level as lead and propylene oxide. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has called for a moratorium on smart meters until the health effects can be adequately studied.

I found this disturbing video recently. Look at it so you are informed about our future.

Smart meters are bad, but there are more things that give off radiation dangerous for humans. All different types of radiation, which are difficult to escape, surround us. The best thing you can do is to be informed as much as possible.

Like that, you will be able to make the right choices in your life. You might care to read my post on these “modern” radiation types in our daily life, Beware of the Dangers of Pollution and Radiation .

Soon 5G will be upon us, and I am sure it will harm our health.

If you also think radiation is dangerous for the human race, then please join this Global Protest.

 

Here you will find extra help

Investigate the company Organixx. They could very well have just the product you are looking for.

Even if you think you eat a healthy diet, you might miss out on important minerals and vitamins.

In case you can grow your own food or buy from a trusted organic farmer you should be ok, but if not? More certainly than not, you will need supplements.

 

 

 

Conclusion

The more I investigat this “modern” life, the less ethusiastic I am. There are too many things that can harm us. Beware, and choose wisely.

Before you leave, have a look at Recommendations. This is a special page I made for you. A collection of interesting things.
