What does a smart meter look like?

This is a photo of a Smart Meter on Kauai. If your meter says FOCUS, it is a smart meter. BEWARE: many people who sent in deferral forms before the smart meter roll out began have discovered there has been a "mistake" and they received a smart meter anyway.

Until Monday, September 30, 2013, it is FREE to change your Smart Meter for a Safe Meter. (If you are concerned about your health you can also get a high emitting digital meter changed to an analog meter.) For your health, your neighbor's health, your privacy, your safety, the safety of our bee population and environment, the safety of our electrical grid, check to be certain you have a SAFE electrical meter.

Only a true analog meter (no hidden antenna - yes, KIUC has installed analog meters with antennas) emits no pulsed microwaves and produces no disease causing dirty electricity.

For more information about obtaining a safe meter for free or to download a deferral form, go to this page. Please be aware we have received numerous reports of people being given misinformation by KIUC employees in an attempt to dissuade them from getting a safe meter. Do not be misled. If you need help, please contact Planet Oasis

At Planet Oasis we will continue to list new free island showings of the superb new documentary film: Take Back Your Power. For a small fee you can download the film from our website and view from your computer.

For your safety when you send in your deferral form or call KIUC to request a meter change, MAKE CERTAIN TO SPECIFY A NON-RF EMITTING ANALOG METER. If you do not request a non RF emitting meter, you will be given a high RF emitting, high dirty electricity emitting digital meter in place of your smart meter. These meters emit microwave pulses in resonance with the surrounding smart grid. They are often either easily upgradable to a smart meter, or already a smart meter.

If you have digital meter we suggest you take down the manufacturer and model number and look up the product manual online to see what the capabilities of your meter are. Does it have wireless connectivity? Does it use a switching mode power supply (producer of dirty electricity)? Look for red flag phrases like "mesh network", "fixed network 2.0", "Silver Springs Network", etc.? If you see any of these terms it is highly likely that you are looking at a smart meter under a different guise.

Anyone able to make a wiki for island meters to make it easy for people to look this information up? Please contact us if you can help

Stetzer Filters

There are quite a few who claim to make dirty electricity suppression devices - and many of them seem to work. Some, however, work better than others. In our testing and using these devices since 2006 the genuine Stetzer Filters have worked best and most reliably - consistently outperforming devices that cost several hundred dollars.

We have talked with Dave Stetzer about Stetzer filters and other products in the past. We have also spoken with engineers at other companies, often finding that they are aware that there is an issue, but without the the depth of understanding of the problem and its mitigation that Dave Stetzer has.

At this point the only product we can recommend with certainty is the Stetzer Filter. If you would like to support Planet Oasis you may order from this link or purchase them directly from us if we have stock.

The Stetzer meter is also very helpful in determining how many Stetzer Filters you need and where to put them. Planet Oases has a Stetzer meter you may use for $10/day with a $90 deposit against return of the meter. Contact us for details.

KIUC Claims - Kauai Facts

KIUC Claims VS Kauai Facts

1. How many times a day does a smart meter emit radiation?

On the website KIUC says Smart Meters send data 6-8 times per day and emit no radiation at other times.

Truth: Smart Meters emit microwave pulses an average (mean) of 14,000 times per day and up to 190,000 times per day according to testimony submitted by the manufacturer.

See http://thepowerfilm.org/thurs-april-26-smart-meters-public-conference-call-health-and-privacy/

2. For how much of a day does a Smart Meter emit radiation?

KIUC posts 3 conflicting answers on their website:

8.6 seconds per day (KIUC refers to this as .01% of the day)
less than one minute per day
86 seconds per day

All 3 statements are grossly misleading. Smart Meters emit microwaves multiple times per minute or even per second throughout the day and night, 24/7. The pulses are short (.0045 seconds) so they don't add up to many seconds, but they are continuous! The best analogy is a strobe light. A strobe light might have the same electrical consumption as a low wattage lightbulb, but the biological effect is totally different (and causes sensitive individuals to have seizures). Microwaves travel long distances and through walls (that's how they communicate!). Therefore people are also affected by neighboring smart meters.

3. How much radiation do Smart Meters emit?

KIUC says: Smart Meter at 3' away outside: 0.000015mW/cm^2 = 0.015µW/cm^2

Local measurements: pulses measuring up to 5.9 µW/cm^2 Don't be mislead by KIUC's 30 minute average. The 24/7, erratic pulsing creates biological harm and effects are additive.

4.  Which gives off more radiation exposure, a cell phone or a Smart Meter?

KIUC says a Smart Meter emits much less radiation than a cell phone:

FACT: According to a report released in January 2012 by the Santa Cruz Department of Health, a Smart Meter emits 100 to 450 times more radiation than a cell phone when considering whole body exposure.

5.  What kinds of symptoms are people reporting?

• Ringing, buzzing in ears
• Headaches, dizziness
• Stress, anxiety, irritability
• Difficulty sleeping
• Muscles aches; weakness

Heart arrhythmia, chest pain
• Concentration/memory issues
• Nausea, flu-like symptoms
• Endocrine/thyroid problems
• Skin symptoms such as burning, prickling, rashes
• Eye and vision problems
• Tooth pain; nosebleeds   
• Worsening or recurrence of conditions such as Cancer, MS, Parkinsons, ADD, Autism
• AND MANY MORE. To get a safe meter see instructions and printable deferral form at www.planetoasis.org. Do not use KIUC's deferral form without specifying RF-Free Analog or RF-Free Meter. FREE through September 30th 2013.
