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

"Take Back Your Power" is a full length film on the smart meter issue, including the history of this technology - which as noted above, you won't hear much about anywhere. Includes information on health effects of RF radiation - and how the U.S. stacks up against other countries in its allowable exposure limits. Highly generous of filmmaker Josh del Sol, we feel, to post the film on YouTube for free. Use Fullscreen mode for best viewing !
Since the release of Take Back Your Power film Josh del Sol has helped launch a movement to stop the use of smart meters and 5G networks - and also stop government mandatory vaccination policies. This is highly results oriented activism, with specific methods you can learn and a campaign you can join on the InPower Movement website.
