>>> Subject: I oppose the installation of wireless Smart Meters
>>>
>>> From: Darlene Blackwood <[hidden email]>

>>> 505 Van Ness Avenue
>>> San Francisco, California 94102
>>>
>>> This letter is to inform you that as a customer of PG&E, 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.
>>>
>>> Our neighborhood has already had smart meters installed without  
>>> customers having an option to opt-out. On the day of the  
>>> installation, I queried the workman. He was hired by PGE from out  
>>> of state and would not listen to my objections. My son is  
>>> allergic to EMF's, and this increase in my neighborhood is a  
>>> threat to his health. I am very angry that I have had no choice  
>>> in this matter.
>>>
>>> Sincerely,
>>> Darlene Blackwood <[hidden email]>
