BC Hydro's smart meter strategy is becoming even uglier in 2013.

Hydro has no intention of listening to, or working with citizens concerned about the installation of two-way wireless transmitters, coined "smart meters" on their homes.

They never have. Neither have they had any motivation to address or respond to the cautionary input of highly qualified researchers, engineers, military experts and medical professionals.

Now, 140,000 homeowners have received a new form letter from BC Hydro stating that they no longer have the right to opt out of this invasive and unhealthy program.

Hydro's letter is full of assertions, omissions and misleading statements.

For those who have received Hydro's ultimatum, to fail to respond in writing will be taken as implied consent.

The following website www.citizensforsafetechnology.org provides a valuable and time sensitive letter template, as well as access to a growing amount of valuable, unfunded information and studies regarding smart meters or www. stopsmartmetersbc.ca.
