Smart Meters: Big Brother's Trojan Horse

by Milt Bowling

We elect politicians to represent our best interests. Therefore, it is shocking when these elected officials do just the opposite. This is once again the case with smart meters, which are being mandated on every home in North America with no proof of safety.

Pushed as part of a "green" agenda, these wireless digital meters will replace the analogue meters that have served us well for half a century. Smart meters will be used to measure our electricity consumption on a minute-by-minute basis, all day, every day. Find out the downside to smart meters, including alarming mercury matters >> http://www.hans.org/162-smart-meters-big-brothers-tr...

The second lawsuit was filed by an individual of Gallatin, Tennessee on July 19. The third lawsuit was filed in the federal District Court, Southern District of California, on August 9.
