Real Smart Meter Safety Science Started with Real World Symptoms and Suffering

If you suddenly developed insomnia, would you ever have thought to contact your electric company?

This is Paul’s Story. When the Arizona utility company came to install a new ‘smart’ meter on Paul Harding’s home over 10 years ago, he welcomed it, because he thought that it would enable him to save money.

(New utility meters do not just record consumption data for monthly billing. They collect and transmit real-time data 24/7/365 to enable time-of-use billing, with peak, off-peak, and other rate schemes, including pre-pay, and widescale citizen surveillance. The data is sent either wirelessly or via the powerlines)

Then, the next morning, he was awoken abruptly at 3:12-3:15 am, “from a dead sleep to 100 MPH.” When it happened again at the exact same time the next morning, not sleeping, with the smart meter mounted 3 feet from his head, Paul got up and took out his computer. He typed in a search for “smart meter sleep problems.”

“Pilot” Programs?

His query took him to Joshua’s Hart’s “Stop Smart Meters” website in California, and from there to the site of Canadian researcher Magda Havas, and the archive of military research papers by Zory Glaser. Paul spent the whole night reading. From that night on, everything in his life changed. At the time, he thought that it all started in February of 2011 with the meter. But he later realized that it had started a decade earlier.

Paul began his campaign to get the meter removed from his home by calling the utility company, every day. And, his health was getting worse. He was experiencing numbness in his face and hands, digestive difficulties, tinnitus (which he later learned was microwave hearing), weight gain, and anxiety.

Salt River Project in Arizona is No Stranger to Smart Meter Technology

When the utility contacted him, they had a question for him. “You had a new meter back in 2001, when you were part of the pilot program. Why didn’t you contact us back then?” And, it was true. In 2009, Smart Energy.com reported, “Salt River Project in Arizona is no stranger to smart meter technology, having been deploying smart metering for over a decade.”…
