What are Smart Meters ?
Why are they a problem - and what can you do about it ?
Since 2006 millions of Americans have had gas, water and electricity meters on their homes replaced by their utility companies - most often without notice or explanation. While earlier "analog" meters were read just once monthly by a company employee, the new digital "smart meters" send readings electronically, hundreds, even thousands of times a day
Many scientists have health and safety concerns about these meters ; and many people have experienced distressing symptoms after they were installed. It's expected that by the end of 2020 there will be 90 million smart meters on American homes and business. But the fascinating - and troubling - history of this rollout is mostly unknown
