Our neighbor's gas amr is a few feet from one of our cars. The car alarm has gone off many times. We have to stand back some times when our gas stove lights. It may be the electronic ignition, but you never know what's on the gas line. I had them turn our gas pressure down. Kathy From: C.a.b.

JUst stepping on the brake pedal in a car can make a transient
the meter will pick up. But I don't know of anyone reacting to that... though if it was constant on and off it might have effects.

Yes, fires have been reported after smart meter installations, along with burnout of appliances of all types.

I've been seeing a lot of smart meter discussions on eSens that
have nothing to do with electrical sensitivity. So this is a reminder that Smart Meters are only on-topic for this group as they relate to electrical sensitivity. So if you're trying to organize a protest, or want to talk about invasion of privacy or electrical fires, you should move those discussions somewhere more appropriate. Surely there are Smart Meter discussion groups/forums out there somewhere? Thanks, Marc |
I have been interested in all aspects of the effects of smart meters as in my perception if these meters effect wiring and electrical products this way, I wonder what it is doing to my body's electrical system?

If someone is interested in *all* aspects of smart meters, then they should seek out a discussion group where that is on-topic. And if there is no such group, then someone should start one. Marc |

Smart meters scare the hell out of me. I am living above all of the electrical meters in our building and have been fighting to keep smart meters off... I have a 4-year-old daughter. I consider e-sens to be one of the more intellectual, thoughtful groups I have found dealing with all things emf. Please, please, please don't discourage people from sharing their smart meter info with the group. It's a life-line for some of us.

However, some people seem to think that they can discuss any and all aspects of Smart Meters here, which is NOT the case. Just like they cannot discuss any and all aspects of cellphones, TVs, computers, florescent lights, etc. Like I said, there MUST be an appropriate places to discuss all aspects of Smart Meters.

Hi, Marc,
I generally agree with what you are saying about staying on-topic, however, it is helpful to those with es to know they have other reasons to cite for not wanting smart meters. I had to petition against my smart meter over 2 years ago, and I had very little info about them at the time. If I had known there is potential for fire or security or privacy issues at the time, or that they are unconstitutional, etc, etc, I could have used this info in my petition against getting one. However, this info was not available to me at the time. So, while I agree that multiple emails about whether fires are or not being caused by smart meters, and which protests are out there are perhaps better cited elsewhere, the truth is few of us have the time or ability to google this info when we need it. We only know it because we got it here/ we would not know we needed to know it otherwise. It would be helpful to know I could protest with others. I would not necessarily know that unless I heard it here (just as I didn't know what arguments to use to avoid being blessed with a smart meter in my yard). I agree that we shouldn't be rehashing the same ole stuff over and over, tho even that, to some degree is helpful for newbies. I think protesting, letter writing, and ES organization, however, is a type of remediation. I don't personally see that as off-topic. It is as much a way to deal with ES as is black tourmaline and quartz, or a Quantum Pro, imo. Just my 2 cents; I am not going to make a federal case out of this one way or the other, ;) Diane ________________________________ From: Marc Martin <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email] Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 3:03 PM Subject: Reminder - [eSens] is NOT a Smart Meter discussion group I've been seeing a lot of smart meter discussions on eSens that have nothing to do with electrical sensitivity.

Marc,
I'm sorry if many of us bring smart metes up. But in my opinion they & cell towers pulsing 4G are part of the cause for ES. It's hard not to talk about either of those technologies, as most of us react negatively to them. Kathy [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Marc, I would like to once again say THANK YOU. We all have you to THANK because you created a place for people to go to, where they could get real help and support. This group/website has given many people INVALUABLE information. I remember reading on here that this whole ES issue was a such a mixed bag. And it truly is. Being able to read and share such a broad spectrum of information is like getting a present every day! Thank You. You have been generous, patient, and compassionate.

It is as much a way to deal with ES as is black tourmaline and quartz, or a Quantum Pro, imo. Just my 2 cents; I am not going to make a federal case out of this one way or the other, ;) Diane ________________________________ From: Marc Martin <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email] Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 3:03 PM Subject: Reminder - [eSens] is NOT a Smart Meter discussion group I've been seeing a lot of smart meter discussions on eSens that have nothing to do with electrical sensitivity. So this is a reminder that Smart Meters are only on-topic for this group as they relate to electrical sensitivity. So if you're trying to organize a protest, or want to talk about invasion of privacy or electrical fires, you should move those discussions somewhere more appropriate. Surely there are Smart Meter discussion groups/forums out there somewhere? Thanks, Marc ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
