I welcome and invite any and all information about the EMF and the Olympic Peninsula...especially Kitsap County.

My research shows that PSE will not have ~really~ "smart" meters deployed for another 2 or so years. I have been assured by a nice rep at PSE that the meters which are in place now (and some appear to be very digital looking) are not addressable, do not broadcast a neighborhood's usage to a central neighborhood modem, and do not collect ~any~ information other than power usage.

They DO broadcast a .5 W signal at just over 900 MHz every 5 minutes for the drive-by meter readers. (Something I'll shield against)

An Opt-Out (or similar) program is being developed and I hope it's not like CA where it costs thou$ands to join and $80 a month to pay for not being irradiated and to eventually pay for not having one's privacy violated. The rep said it'd be more like $10 per month but didn't know for sure.

Getting a true analog power meter would take a humongous grass-roots movement AND court orders or legislation, I suspect.

I plan to do reflective and absorptive shielding for my mom's (and my) house/living areas after I find some way to measure ALL the relevant EMF frequencies from ELF to microwave. It's possible to worsen a living environment without measurements and without knowing about the physics involved.

...argh...
