OG&E smart meter

[lake hefner breeze]

The OG&E Smart Meter is currently being installed throughout OKC after initial testing in Norman. It has come to my attention that there are many issues about these meters that are causing deep concern in other states. This includes health problems, fire hazards, privacy rights, price increases, inadequate security and more. Personally, I am concerned about the microwave radiation that they broadcast and the negative impact it can have on my family, friends, and pets. I have researched this and believe it can be detrimental.

Most people will be more interested in the price increases you are going to experience through "peak hour usage" as you are "monitored" by the smartgrid. But since it's all under the guise of a green initiative you won't mind paying more, right? Not that it matters what you think because as it stands now OG&E says this is mandatory with no "opt out" available. After all, this is a nationwide multi-billion dollar taxpayer funded program, so you're getting it whether you like it or not. I don't. And surely neither do all the soon to be laid off meter readers, but who cares about them, right, there's plenty of work out there.

I do realize we are all bathed in wireless RF constantly from wi-fi, cell towers, radio, tv, etc. However, I choose to limit my exposure by not having wi-fi, using a landline phone not cordless, only using a cell phone occasionally, and not having any other wireless devices apart from a tv remote. I don't say this to sound superior, it's just what works for me. That said, I am not a Luddite, I really do enjoy new technology, when it's proven safe and truly beneficial.

Go ahead and break out the tinfoil hat jokes...if you must.
