De petitie is gericht aan: Office of Consumer Advocate & Pennsylvania General Assembly

With over a decade of an enforced smart meter mandate by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), thousands of consumer complaints for the right to a smart meter opt-out have been denied. Pennsylvania is the only state in which the PUC is enforcing a smart meter mandate – despite a plethora of evidence demonstrating smart meter health hazards. Join us consumer choice advocates to demand a smart meter opt-out in PA.

Smart meters emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation, which has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Everyone in the vicinity of smart meters is exposed to their pulsed RF emissions 24/7, every day of the year. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to RF radiation can lead to various health issues, particularly in young children whose bodies are still developing and in vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

We believe that every resident should have the right to choose whether or not they want a smart meter installed in their home. We are appealing this right to the Office of Consumer Advocate (OCA), which represents Pennsylvania utility customer interests in cases before the PUC. Request that the OCA represent utility customers demanding consumer choice for a safe, long-lived analog meter with no RF emissions.
