We were informed that within the next two years that Hydro Quebec will be installing smart meters...They TELL you it is to help even out your consumption..but the truth is.. It is a gimmick to allow them to charge you MORE during certain times of the day...it FORCES you ( for Instance) into doing your laundry in the middle of the night to avoid " High Consumption rates" during peak times...If you are not able to meet their THEIR zig zagging rate schedule..you are stuck with a higher than usual hydro bill. Let YOUR Hydro Company know..that this is NOT acceptable! No To mention..there are health concern because of the short bursts of radio frequency. It may not be much,,but coupled with cell phones,WI-FI and other wireless transmitters..more congested areas are going to have higher health risks. Please Sign this petition to leave our older, less threatening meters in place! http://citizensforsafetechnology.org/smart-meter-action-kit-in-communities-governments,73,0
