PG&E Caught on Tape Threatening Disconnection of Service for “Smart”Meter Refusal

by J Hart
While PG&E makes public statements like “we are working with communities and engaging in a conversation about how our customers can benefit from SmartMeter technology” the reality is that they are threatening the public with disconnection of electrical service, and ignoring pleas from electrosensitive people who are suffering so badly that in many cases they are being forced to leave their own homes.

This audio was provided to us by Charles Pine, a resident of Oakland who refused to allow Wellington Energy to install a ‘Smart’Meter on his duplex. It was recorded several days ago when a PG&E employee came and attempted to install a new wireless meter without so much as knocking on the door. This was the second attempt at installation, after Charles had already refused a Wellington installer several months before.

Several weeks ago, the utility made soothing statements that made it seem like it would respect residents who did not want a wireless meter on their home. The reality on the ground- as this incident demonstrates- is very different. PG&E continues to lie, to cheat, and to endanger our lives and our health.

How much more will you stand, California?

PG$E reps have been trained and told to force Wireless smart meters on customers. That same lie has been told to hundreds of thousands of customers ...and now PG$E Corporate pretends that it was wrong for the employee and his mistake, not theirs.

PG$E Corporate are the same ones who allowed children in Hinkley, CA to drink contaminated water from the PG$E plant, even though PG$E Corporate knew the problem. Whole families and children died and suffered the most painful deaths -this was documented in the Erin Brokovich Movie starring Julia Roberts.

The only thing that keeps PG$E doing these terrible things is the apathy of the American general public. Even though the public verbally say that they know PG$E lies, they still for the most part fall into lock-step with whatever BS they are told as they continue to smoke the cigarettes that were made to addict them and they continue to hold cell phones to their heads that actually destroy their miniscule brains.
