HOW AND WHY YOU SHOULD OPT OUT OF ESB NETWORKS SMART METER INSTALLATION

HOW AND WHY YOU SHOULD OPT OUT OF ESB NETWORKS SMART METER INSTALLATION The ESB networks are currently sending out letters informing you about their plan to replace your electric meter with a new Smart Meter. They do not tell you in the letters, but you can opt out “it’s easy” just phone or send an e mail to esbnetworks@esb.ie or phone 1800928123 or 01698 5005, I already did and now I’m off the list. You need to warn your neighbours ASAP, that their smart meter, (if they get one) will also affect your health! And yours will affect theirs! This type of radiation can easily go through walls. Smart meters and Wi Fi are harmful to your health. There are many studies. Mobile phones, Cordless phones, Wi Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, Digital baby monitors all pulse out serious wave radiation and a Smart Meter will only add to your exposure levels. If you have your Wi Fi on all the time then the Smart Meter is going to add to your overall radiation exposure levels in your home. To lower the risk your Wi Fi router can be switched off at night and when not in use, but a Smart meter will be radiating harmful EMFs through your house 24/7, even while you are sleeping. Smart Meters are not safe If you do not stop the ESB installing a Smart Meter then this Electro Magnetic Frequency radiation (EMF) could cause many health issues to you, your children even your pets. Most people think this technology is safe, but many doctors and scientists are now speaking out against it and have done so for years. So please pass on this information to your neighbours, family and friends. It’s now well known that long term exposure to this type of radiation can cause cancer and other diseases. Small children are more vulnerable to EMFs. There are many studies about the adverse effects of EMF radiation on this website- Electro Magnetic Sense Ireland https://es-ireland.com/ Data Protection Issues Apart from the health issues, (and there are many) Smart Meters threaten your right to privacy, there are serious breaches of Data protection, for instance if your away on holiday some guy in a call centre data collections office will know if your house is un-occupied by your electric consumption. ! Criminals will love smart meters. Someone somewhere can tell when you are in the shower (electric showers are very high wattage), in a sense you are being monitored. Could you be targeted and switched off remotely at peak times? Could someone get to know your economic status by your usage? Also meter readers will lose their jobs, are you ok with this? Dr Eoin O’Dell of Trinity College Dublin warned of “mission creep”, with data intended for use by electricity suppliers ending up being accessed by GardaĆ­, Revenue or Social Welfare officials to check if and when people were at home. Could you be targeted and switched off remotely at peak times? Can someone get to know your economic status by your usage? Read the Independent.ie article link below. Price Hiking and Fires In countries that already have smart meters installed there are reports of price hikes and over charging and also there are reports of these meters catching fire easily Smart Meters have also been known to interfere with heart pacemakers and other implanted medical devices. In their promotion leaflet that comes with the letter the ESB have jumped on the green bandwagon agenda with their slogan: "getting your area ready for a low-carbon future" having a smart meter has nothing to do with carbon emissions, it’s how the electricity is produced in the first place that determines its carbon footprint, not the meter itself. This information in ESB leaflet that comes with the letter is misleading. Smart Meters will not reduce your electricity or gas consumption, they will only tell you how much you are using – which is exactly what existing analogue and electronic meters do. Read this Independent.ie article, it raises many issues regarding privacy: https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/data-protection-commissioner-is-asked-to-investigate-esb-smart-meters-40289903.html Read the health dangers related to smart meters: search for Electro Magnetic Sense Ireland website https://es-ireland.com/ go to the smart meter section. This is a great documentary on Smart Meters https://youtu.be/8ZTiT9ZSg3Q As always please do your own research. In the case of this particular technology rollout I think it's always best to err on the side of caution just in case, the precautionary principle is best adhered to when there are question marks regarding very dubious and unsafe technology.
