Oregon, Proposed Cell Phone Legislation

Hello All,

I meant to send theses inspiring news stories out on Oregon a while ago. They are for once, really EXCELLENT and do NOT favor the industry POV!! They even showed part of our 2 minute video on the bill in one of them!!! As I think back, the reason we didn't send them out is they were immediately yanked from the stations right after they aired.

You can't find these stories on their websites anymore. You will see why...absolutely NO industry spin!!!!! Enjoy!!! :)

(David would like everyone to know he meant the US had some of the highest cell tower exposure, not cell phone. They forgot to put that part in but did a great job otherwise!)

SO CUSTOMERS ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR PG&E MISMANAGEMENT ?!!

http://www.earthtechling.com/2011/03/pge-smart-meter-plan-turns-wireless-off/

1.PG&E put in Wireless meters that have accuracy problems (in their favor), documented fire problems, security and hacking problems, electronics and motion detector interference problems and health problems.

2. PG&E claimed advantages to this Wireless meter program, but NONE of those advantages are actually occurring for PG&E customers or others in any other country or state where similar meters were installed.

3. PG&E started installing 20 million of these meters with customers paying the $2.2 Billion price tag on our monthly bills with NO PILOT PROGRAM in advance to see what the problems would be and if anything even works.

4. And WE, THE CUSTOMERS, are caught holding the bill for PG&E's derelict management, planning and technical fiascos that, as in Hinkley, look like they are also hurting us.

And WE, THE CUSTOMERS, now have to pay more $$$ up front AND monthly to minimize the continued damage from these meters ?!!

5. And finally: if the wireless portion of the Wireless meter is disconnected at our home to reduce non-ionizing radiation from our immediate home environment, then PG&E is going to add more radiation transmitters in our general community, where we also spend time, to make up for the reduction at any homes that opt-out.

6. This is finally enough for me to call on the State Government to take back the license for PG&E to operate in California.

No matter how derelict our government is and will be in operating utility delivery, it will be better than PG&E. The utility workers are excellent and available.

PG&E CORPORATE MUST GO.
