I had chronic headaches and migraines when the smart meter was still in my home in the UK.
The local insects appeared almost 'Frankinsteniese'.
It took months and loads of requests to remove the smart meter and the utility company finally changedit.
Because I requested the removal I have been hit with an enormous bill because they claim they
had forgotten about the change so have been putting in the wrong figures. Six months later we are stillin dispute about the bill but I will not give up.

Please put on your records that my experience with Smart Meters have been very difficult.
They impact my health and is impacting the wildlife around my home.
Often the impact is invisible to most people, but for sensitive people, and nature it is very obvious.
Keep New Mexico independent and free from this invasive technology.
You will be an example to the rest of the world.

i live in the UK and have recently been pestered by my energy provider, So Energy to get a smart meterand I refuse to do so as I am electro sensitive, meaning i keep all of my electronic equipment hard wired
including my internet and phone and of course my electric meter is NOT wireless and will stay that way.
Here in the UK there is a Health and Safety Executive regulation called The Control of Electromagnetic

Hi, my name is Susan Ryan. I live on Long Island in New York. I am very concerned about the healthdangers and the surveillance tactics of the “smart grid” and “smart meter” infrastructure. Back in 2010, a
smart meter was installed in my basement without my knowledge and consent. Within six months I was
gravely ill from the pulsed frequency emitted from Itron’s smart meters, also referred to as “automatedreaders”.
These devices are creating an epidemic of health issues, the list is too long to recite here, but a few
symptoms that I experienced were:
Headaches
Body Pain
Blurred Vision
Weight loss
Hair loss
Night terrors
Insomnia
Frequent urination
Pain in the ovaries
Irritability
Anxiety
Hostility
These meters emit enormous and very intense pulsed radiation. It is damaging to the brain and body,and goes even deeper, destroying our cells, including the cells that deliver oxygen. This oxygen
deprivation causes gasping for air during the night. The feeling of not getting enough air.
If we continue to allow our cities and towns to be outfitted in these diabolical meters, we will see an
epidemic of sickness, illness, neurological disorders, road rage and cancer increase, exponentially.
It is imperative that we stop the installation of these smart meters. They are not tested on humans or
regulated. There is a clear lack of oversight and this is not going to end well for all life on earth.
Please regard this warning as a last ditch effort to save humanity.
Sincerely,
Susan Ryan

To whom it may concern,
I am urging you to keep your community safe. Do not allow smart meters into your State. Or small
communities.
I have never allowed a smart meter to be placed onto my house. They can cause serious healthproblems, fires, and they are unsafe for wildlife, the birds, the bee's and the tree's. We do not wanteverything we use emitting radiation do we?? I sure don't.
Let's use the cigarette industry as an example. They told people for years that smoking was safe. Turns
out, they were quite mistaken.
Now they are telling you that smart meters are safe. We know this is not true, so why do we need to
wait 20 years to find out the ill health effects? Let us learn from the past. Might we keep some things
and wild places sacred? I hope so, I pray so.
Please protect your community, say NO to smart meters. Be the strong and brave example for many.
Thank you. Jen from Ca.

I live in the UK and unfortunately I had a very serious debilitating experience when a smart meter was
installed in a flat that shares a wall with me. From the time it was turned on, I could not walk aroundin my flat, I could not write an email, I could not think and I could not sleep. It was an absolutenightmare until it was switched off.

Response to an NMPRC case number 2200058 - UT
I have two concerns about the proposed rate increase for modernization.
1. if I opt out of having a smart meter my bill will go up by 46.7%.
2. there are health concerns associated with smart meters.
regarding the cost:
My total cost of electricity in 2022 was $753. If I opt out of the smart meter there will be an additional
yearly charge of $339.70 ( $28.31 per month ). This is a 45% increase plus there will be a 1.744% generalmonthly increase for the ”modernization” proposal for usage for my size and type. Can't this flat rate be
reduced for smaller users so there is not such an economic burden on smaller users? The flat rate is
economic coercion to make consumers consider “choosing” a smart meter. It should be capped at 25%
of PNM fees not to include cost of fuel.
I question the proposed calculation that it will cost $28.31 per month to read my analog meter. In Juneof 2022 my electric bill was $31, so for some months the cost to read my meter will be as much as thecost of power.
Regarding the health concerns:
The World Health Organization classifies RF(radio frequency) and EMF (electromagnetic fields) as a class
2B carcinogen which may impact health issues like headaches or dizziness and can interfere with heart
pacemakers and sleep.
PNM should be required to state how much radiation is being emitted and explain if the smart meters
will be constantly “ on “ or only occasionally triggered.

I was able to opt out and keep my old meter. Everybody I talk to who was forced to accept smart meters
has complained of numerous effects. Some people I know even wrapped their box with aluminum foil.
They are dangerous! I hope New Mexico where I used to live can keep smart meters out of their state.

Smart meters were installed in my building, and the radiation they emit inside apartments creates formyself,a constant burning pain to my skin. The radiation is intense and high energy, which makes it difficult torelax.
There is long-term effects of this exposure, which no one deserves to be losing their health. There arenobenefits of these meters, other than a convenience to the utility, and decrease in their overhead
administrative
costs to employees. The meters depend upon one's own circuit breaker to stop fire-creating power
surges.
The analogue meters work autonomously, accurately, and well, having also a safe guards to prevent fires
through power surges. The analogue meters operate without causing harm to humans andenvironments. I urge to deny smart meters, as the cumulative effects in combination with all otherradiation
devices will make your homes, and cities unlivable.

Dearest,It has been brought to my attention that you live in on of the two cities in the VS where smart
meters are righteously illegal.
I am proud of you and pray that it stays like this.
One day humanity will catch up to the genocide that is happening through radiation. And theworld coup that is being perpetrated by the powerfull that have pions on crucial positions, as
you probably noticed.
Smartmeters are totally unnecessary for recording the amount of electricity used, and you know
that. We all know that.
Will you do the right thing ? Protect your wellbeing and freedom, that of your children, and beable to look proudly yourself in the mirror and everyone else ? Will you live up to the necessary
integrity ?
Do you know that where I live, the radiation keeps being pumped up, and that the chronic ill are
multiplying like a nightmare come true ? Some of these sick know it has to do with radiation
because the link is made, some of them do not. I sit away from people in public transportation,
it is that bad. And I even believe my chronic health issues are made worse by radiation. This is
widely known for lyme.
Maybe you know people with chronic health issues: is it not a violation of their rights to be
imposes 5G in their home ? Of the 5G of their neighbour, or the 5G in the office or in the shop?
Together we stand.

To whom it may concern:
I am a resident of Santa Fe, NM and vehemently oppose smart meters.
When we lived in Texas, we opted out of smart meters.
When we lived in Colorado, we also opted out of smart meters and it has been a BLESSING to live in thebeautiful Santa Fe where they do not currently exist.
I am sensitive to radio-frequency radiation coming from wireless devices, cell towers, WiFi routers and ofcourse, smart meters. We have removed ALL wireless devices from our home and I do NOT own a cell
phone. It would be very unfortunate to be assaulted by smart meters when we've done so much work tocreate a healthy environment.
While all life forms are sensitive to this electricity in the air, I am one of the people who feels it. It exhausts mynervous system by inducing a stress response and affects my heart and sleep. We ended up moving here
because of this issue. In Colorado, they installed smart meters on all of our neighbor's homes and erected a
5G antenna immediately outside of our neighborhood. This was not acceptable to our family.
Santa Fe feels like a refuge in many ways, and I don't want that to change. Smart meters are really dumbmeters and pose a threat to human, animal and plant life and need to be rejected 100%. Not all technology is
progress. The truth regarding the use of smart meters and beyond will come out and New Mexico will lookway ahead of the game. Bragging rights are in your future if you can do the right thing!

Hi New Mexico PRC
I am a concerned citizen, who lived in Grimsby Ontario, Canada until early 2020.
I had to move because of the horrific radiation my property was surrounded by, that was given off by
the Smart meters on every house in the local survey. All of them communicating every 20 minutes,
with the local cell phone towers. These meters will be the same meters you plan on implementing in
New Mexico.
I ended up moving to a small village in rural France. I uprooted my family because the way the electro
magnetic radiation, especially the SMART meters, were destroying me and my families health.
I fought with the local electricity company to have the meter removed but it was not allowed.
These meters do nothing for the people. They promise cheaper electricity but everyones bill increased
following the mass implementation of the meters.
They only serve to increase the companies profits and they cause adverse health effects to the local
community. All things I started to experience following the implementation of the SMART meters.
These symptoms show up as headaches, insomnia, tinnitus, heart palpitations, anxiety and otherinexplicable symptoms that are a direct result of the ‘Microwave Radiation’ poisoning given off bythese meters.
I personally suffered from all of these things. My teenage son and my wife had similar problems.
You may question ‘How do you know it was the SMART meter? We removed wifi, all cell phones,
bluetooth or any microwave radiation devices from our house, but because of the SMART meter wewere still suffering, we even switched off all the power in the house at night. Hence the reason why
we moved country.
These meters use the same technology as cell phones. That technology causes
cancer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31633839/
The world over is waking up to the perils of this cancer causing
radiation. https://ehtrust.org/policy/international-policy-actions-on-wireless/Please do your due diligence and look after the well being of the people who you were voted in toprotect.

Dear members of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,

I write to you to explain the troubles caused by smart meters on the French population.
I refused the installation of a Linky meter a few years ago as it was possible for me
because my meter is inside my house. It is the case for 50% of electricity meters inFrance. So the people whose meter was outside the house were not as lucky as me.
I have been suffering from electrohypersensitivity (EHS) for ten years now as I was
diagnosed by a French professor of medecine named Pr BELPOMME.
After celebrating New Year 2022 together with very close friends, on the second ofJanuary 2022 the Linky smart meter was installed in their house and I felt immediately
bad with headaches and dizziness.
On the next night I couldn't sleep in their friends' bedroom, where I used to sleepvery
well because I had a headache specific to electric exposure with nevralgy of the brain.
On the next night I had the idea of putting the bed in the middle of the room and myheadache was less severe so I could sleep although I was not as well as before theLinky installation.
In July I had the same bad experience in my sister's house because of the Linky stupid
smart meter !
The electricity runs along the cables allover the place to transport the information
analyzed and sent by the Linky.
I can imagine the suffering of people who can't put their bed in the middle of the room !
and also the suffering of patients and babies in hospitals and in homes for the elderly !
So please take the exposure of millions of people to electric magnetic fields into accountand avoid this new health disaster in your state ! I am sure voters will remember thatdecision in the future elections...

Dear Sirs,

Having Smart Meters installed in Homes in New Mexico’s Cities shouldn’t be seen as a straightforward
thing like they lay claim to it being as they are not safe or effective.
Where possible I discourage people from getting them as they cause radiation that has been linked tocancer and they are replacing a system that is not flawed with one that is. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it.
Once installed in homes the grid very tragically control your usage and bill you in a way that is not fairat all in the disguise of being “smart”, which is a catchphrase for all modern technology taking aholdof our lives.
Let’s keep New Mexico’s Cities free of this nonsensical madness.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you with regards to the question of smart meters and whether or not they will be allowed in thestate of New Mexico.
I have seen hideous debility in adults and children secondary to Smart Meters being installed in my area. As
a doctor, my most serious concern are the health consequences of Smart meters and the way that they not
only emit EMF radiation themselves but also cause the electric wiring in their homes to emit radiation. Once
installed these men, women and children have no escape. Their homes are no longer their sanctuaries.
To give one example, a single mother of a 2 year old boy was working hard to bring him up in a healthy
environment with organic food and plenty of time in Nature. He developed symptoms synonymous with
absence seizures and she developed symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. He became
aggravated with altered behaviour and she became exhausted, anxious and depressed. To add insult toinjury their electricity was more rather than less expensive. All entirely avoidable if no smart meter had been
installed. The most vulnerable in society end up being the most harmed as in addition to the healthconsequences smart meters consume rather than save electricity. They are sold to customers based on a lie.
The smart meters are anything but smart for the men, women and children whose homes they are in:negative health consequences, radiation emitters, consumers of energy, fire risks, risk of being hacked, andan invasion of privacy. They are not compatible with freedom and health.
It is imperative you continue to do the right thing and keep New Mexico without smart meters.
Kind regards,
Dr L Thomas

I was opposed to having this smart meter installed. I moved to the High Desert in So. California to getaway from all this horrible EMF technology
I don't sleep at night and my muscle ache all the time
Shortly after it was forced installed we had a black out...when the electricity came back on it blew out 2

New Mexico Public Regulation Commission
I urge you to deny PNM's application to install the Gen 5 Itron Riva meters.

These 5G capable meters which generate MMW radiation have been shown in peer-reviewed researchto:- have serious adverse impacts to human health and to the environment (specifically bees, andmammals);- The proposed 5G capable meters will use much more energy with less capacity than fibre optic cable;- Smart meters in our area have resulted in higher utility bills which remain unexplained by PG&E.
Approving this proposal presents a serious threat to public health ands safety while providing thetelecommunications industry a cheap way to connect New Mexico residents to the internet versus fibre

Dear Madam or Sir,I live in France where 11% of the population refused the so called « smart meters » which utilities want
to install everywhere.
There are dozens of documented problems with these meters on the following sites:
https://www.robindestoits.com/
https://www.priartem.fr
http://refus.linky.gazpar.free.fr
I refused the installation of such meters for health, privacy, security and budget concerns, both in myhome and in my small business.
Also the utilities threw away about 40 million meters which were in average quite new. The classic
meters lasted 40 years, the »smart » ones are supposed to last less than 10 years. A lot of people
checking the old meters lost their jobs. And people with new meters saw their bills increasesignificantly.
It was not easy to refuse the meters because the utiilities hired thugs to harass me on the phone andin front of my doors.
I hope my experience will be helpful to you.

Please see no. 10 at the bottom of the article. Thank you. Beside the negative health effects,
they are also a fire hazard.

Based on a talk given by Bill Cadwallader, a certified electromagnetic radiation specialist, at a
recent Cancer Control Society meeting.
Mr. Cadwallader explained that humans are bioelectric beings and declared,“Electromagnetic radiation is the ‘cigarettes’ of the digital age, and like cigarettes, it cankill. We’re exposed to as much as 100 million times more electromagnetic radiation thanour grandparents. So basically we’re all guinea pigs.”
He said that about 5% of people are hypersensitive to electromagnetic radiation to
the point where they can’t even go into a Big Box store without experiencing severe
discomfort.
Can electromagnetic radiation cause cancer? Yes. He cited the example of a cancer
cluster at a middle school in California in which 24 teachers and staff members
developed cancer. In addition, 49 students developed cancer in their 20s, and 12 havedied. The rate of thyroid cancer was 13 times higher than expected, uterine cancer was
9 times higher, and melanoma was 10 times higher, even though they had indoor jobs.
Mr. Cadwallader asked, “How do you get melanoma from being indoors? A master ofpublic health determined that these cancers were caused by dirty electricity from anelectrical substation a mile away. Dirty electricity can travel for miles.”Most people, including me, have never heard of dirty electricity. Mr. Cadwalladerdefines it as powerful, high frequency electrical energy traveling along the wiring inbuildings where only standard electricity should be.
He uses various tools to measure electromagnetic radiation in houses and officebuildings. One tool is the ME 3030B EMF meter, which costs less than $200. Another isthe Stetzerizer meter, which costs a little over $100. A third option is the Acousticom 2
Electrosmog Detector, which costs less than $200.
He presented a video demonstrating the Acousticom 2 measuring the radiation froma microwave oven, and told the audience, “We’ve measured microwave ovens that
weren’t safe from 40 feet away.”
In the video, Mr. Cadwallader turned on a microwave oven, and the Acousticom 2’s
needle immediately jumped to red, indicating an unsafe level. He walked backwards

through rooms and down a hallway, and the needle stayed on red as he did so. This
indicates that radiation from the microwave oven passed through walls as if they weren’t
there at all.
“Baby monitors” have a dangerous level of radiation!
Even more alarming, he found that electronic “baby monitors” emit harmful levels ofradiation near infants in their cribs. As for the wisdom of giving children smartphones,
Cadwallader asked, “How can that be safe when the phone is half the size of a child’sface?”The highlight of Cadwallader’s talk was his “10 Ways to Reduce Your Exposure Right
NOW!” Here they are.
1. Don’t charge your cell phone on your night stand. Move everything -- evenclocks -- away from the night stand. Don’t sleep with your cell phone under
your pillow.
2. Use speaker mode when speaking on a cell phone. Avoid putting thephone to your ear because it can cause cancer at the site where the cell
phone is held.
3. If carrying a cell phone on your body, turn airplane mode on and Bluetoothand WIFI off -- unless you’re expecting an emergency communication. How
not to carry a cell phone? Cadwallader met a 19-year-old who had received a
hip replacement. He broke his hip hiking, and had a tumor in the same area
where he carried his phone. The surgeon could put his finger right through thebone because radiation had dissolved it. He had habitually carried his cell
phone in his front pocket. (NOTE: anecdotal evidence of this kind is notconclusive.)
4. Turn off your wireless router/WIFI when you sleep, but first make sure
your land phone line or alarm system is still working and doesn’t depend on
the router. Routers and WIFI interfere with melatonin, a hormone you need fora good sleep. Melatonin also inhibits cancer. You don’t have to remember toturn the router off each night. Cadwallader uses a $5 timer that you can getfrom Home Depot or Lowes that automatically turns off his router at 10 p.m.
and turns it back on at 5:00 a.m.
5. Replace cordless phones with corded phones that plug into a wall jack.
6. Turn airplane mode on and WIFI and Bluetooth off when you read ebooks
on a tablet such as a Kindle or iPad. How not to read on an iPad: One of
Cadwallader’s friends developed a huge abdominal tumor and asked him,
“Could it have been caused by reading on my iPad?” He’d been in the habit of
putting his iPad on his abdomen and reading for several hours a day without
putting it in airplane mode. (NOTE: Again, this type of anecdotal evidence is
not conclusive.)7. If you turn on a microwave oven, get as far away from it as possible. The
radiation from a microwave easily passes through walls, according to Mr.
Cadwallader.
8. Turn electronic tablets off when you’re not using them, and avoid using
tablets and laptops on your lap because they’re creating radiation right onyour lap. Never use these handheld devices when they’re charging. Always
use them in battery mode.
9. Never use a Bluetooth earpiece or headphones, because this wirelessconvenience generates 120 times the safe level of radiation. Only wear yourfitness watch during your workout, not all the time.
10. Avoid those utility company smart meters. If your meter has a digital
display, it’s a smart meter. Smart meters can be ten to 70 times stronger thana cell phone, and they create dirty electricity on every wire in your house. If
you have a smart meter, call your electric utility company and ask about an
opt-out program. He knows of one woman whose smart meter caused herhair to fall out. Her hair loss stopped when she got rid of the smart meter.
As a bonus tip, Cadwallader gave the audience two recommendations about baby
monitors. His first recommendation is not to use them. But he added that people aregoing to use them anyway, so his second recommendation is to test the baby monitor
using an Acousticom 2 Electrosmog Detector.
Some baby monitors are worse than others. Some are found to be 120 times thesafe level, which creates a health hazard for a baby no matter where the baby is placedin the room. His website, https://stopdirtyelectricity.com, offers suggestions andinformation about products to protect your home.

To whom it may concern:First, I need to make clear that I am writing as one who not only has knowledge about EMF and smart meters, butalso life changing experience, and it has been an ongoing, take-up-my-time and resources battle since the smart
meter and electric grid moved in to my state of Tennessee. But the worst is that I have to fight for my life on adaily basis.
I will not go into all the details of how sick the smart grid has made me since 2010, how many thousands ofdollars I have had to spend to “undo” the damage done by the electric and gas companies. The wiring in myhouse was not detrimental until the smart grid was added and now my wiring carries all the smart gridfrequencies throughout the house. It’s something I can’t get away from outside of moving to New Mexico or
finding an off grid house here. And the grid has affected the blueberry farms and the honey farms that are in thisarea. This is the first year the blueberry farm had no bees and could not make a living or sell produce to its
customers.
There is no customer protection or customer satisfaction in the smart grid, except by those who want to makemoney at the expense of the ignorant and the ignorant who do not know better or do not care to know.
Had I known that New Mexico was a non-smart meter state, I would have moved there, and if you keep it clean ofsmart meters, I’m looking there next. Do you realize what an asset you would have to advertise your state as oneof the most beautiful keepers of the peace by keeping out smart meters and the smart meter grid, what a major
attraction New Mexico would be to health-conscious individuals who care about their state and their bodies.
Please keep the smart meters out of your state. You have no idea what a viper pit you will be making for all yourpeople, people who are misinformed and those who are blindly placing their trust in the government at federal
and state levels who do not perform required due diligence of researching the effects of this sickness-inducing
technology.

i am writing this correspondence in order to inform yourselves about the dangers ofsmart meters.
from my extensive research and personal experience i have found that all wirelesstechnology including
smart meters are extremely dangerous.
these meters give corporations the ability to control our homes. smart technology
can be easily spied on if
they so desire. These meters are being rolled out by the WEF and the deep state sothat when they declare climate emergencies they can remotely access our homes andinvade our privacy but changing the temperature in our homes. It will come to thestage if certain cities oppose their rule then they can make us freeze to death.
If you think i am kidding there already has been extensive research into smart tvs
with authorities being able to spy
on the public in their own homes. the same goes for smart cars. the journalist
michael hastings was a victim of this when witnesses saw his car propel itself down
the street with the engine falling apart whilst the car was moving.
These people have means of controlling people's cars remotely and can suicide
people they do not like. I know i am going off track but this whole agenda is part ofthe same plan. smart cars, smart cities, smart meters are being implemented by thesame players.
it is a trap that will put us all in a control grid with wireless technologies that cause
cancer from the radiation. That is why i refuse to use anything that is wireless. The
human body is electric and operates at specific hertz readings.
any wireless technology or wireless signal interferes with us and makes us sick.
i urge you not to follow the globalist agenda to control us. if you value your freedom
then please oppose thistyranny

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have learned about the proposed introduction of smart meters for New Mexico.
Please allow me to make the following observations:a) Radio-waves, electromagnetic fields and microwaves are thousands of times higher than our pasthistorical exposure and are wreaking all lifeforms on Earth.
Biological cells communicate with each other and the above distort and disrupt cellularcommunication. Effects may not be obvious or immediately discernible but
they are there.
b) In my country, Malta, smart meters were installed about eight years ago ; however the electricity
and water companies still send the meter reader around tophysically read the meters personally door to door: a waste of time and money.
c) Since that time, electrical and water bills have risen exorbitantly, at least in my personal case.
d) Back in 2017 my electrical meter caught fire and nearly caused a house fire. Luckily I was at home
and intervened before anything worse happened.
e) In Malta, when I wrote to the Water-Electicity companies, I was told data is transmitted via theelectrical wiring, not wireless transmission.

New Mexico Public Regulation Commission

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you to voice my concern at the installation of smart meters against the wishes of thegeneral public.
I live in Australia and had no choice in the installation of my smart meter a few years ago. The meter box
was unfortunately installed against my bedroom wall and since it was changed to the smart meter I havefound it has affected my sleep pattern. I wake very early in the morning often between 2 - 3am and I
feel very tired and that it is affecting my health in a very negative way.
I have noticed over the years the decline in the insect population since the introduction of mobile
phones and this kind of technology, and dread to think what effect it will have if 5G is introduced totallyworld wide. I remember a time when you took your car out and the windscreen was splattered withdead insects, not so now these days. The bee population has decreased dramatically too, where did they
all go? This technology is not good for our environment or our health and should not be forced upon
people against their will.
It is too late for me but I totally support the people of New Mexico and anywhere else in the world who
oppose the installation of smart meters on their property.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter,
Yours faithfully,
Susie Young

Hello,
My smart meter caused me serious health problems. These problems resolved completely when thesmart meter was replaced with an analog meter.
In more detail, I live in California. I moved into a house with a smart meter in 2007. Within months I
experienced ongoing muscle weakness in my lower body such that my health care provider suspected
Parkinson’s disease. I researched my symptoms and found that they could be a result of emf exposure.
So I had the smart meter replaced, and within a few weeks all my symptoms disappeared and havestayed away since then.
If I had continued to live with the smart meter, I could well have been disabled by now.

To the New Mexico PRC:
As a co-founder of 5G Free RI, I am writing to urge you to deny PNM's current application to
deploy smart meters in New Mexico. In 2017 all of New Mexico’s public, private, andgovernmental entities participating in the proceedings to make a decision on PNM's application
listened to and supported one another in fighting for and securing the right of the people totheir health and safety in their homes and communities. They made this sound and protective
decision because the installation of smart meters has a number of deleterious effects:
·
·
·
·
·
·

Smart meters consume energy.
Smart meters emit radiation and cause all the wiring in your home to emit radiation.
Smart meters cause fires and explosions.
Smart meters are hackable.
Smart meters invade consumers’ privacy.
Smart meters are inaccurate and raise utility bills.

Among the criteria for approval is that the application must be “reasonable,” and that smart
meters must “provide customer protection.” Meters that damage customers’ health and theenvironment are neither reasonable nor protective.
Please preserve New Mexico as a refuge and an example to the world of what We, the People
can do to protect our health and environment. Once again deny PNM’s application to deploy
smart meters in New Mexico.
Thank you

To Whom It May Concern:
My primary home is in Northern California where Pacific Gas and Electric Company has a monopoly on
providing utility services.
Over the past 6 years since the installation of a smart meter on my home, I have noticed that there arealmost NO hummingbirds visiting the feeders.
Anna's hummingbirds overwinter here and previously, the feeders were busy year round.
I have a large garden with many pollinator plants and there have been fewer and fewer caterpillars everyyear.
My garden is completely organic, so the decrease in caterpillar population is not due to pesticides.
The only difference for this decrease in the bird and insect populations has been the installation of thesmart meter.
Please! Keep New Mexico (where I frequently visit) smart meter free.
There are NO benefits to the human, animal or insect world other than easier profits for the utility
company.
Sincerely,

Good evening,
I am writing in regard to the No Smart Meters case in the cities of New Mexico. Keeping smart metersout of homes is imperative to the health of everyone, the environment, and energy consumption. In
my previous home, smart meters had a direct impact on my health due to the radiation emitted aswell as my family. I have been advised and required physically to be as far as possible from such"technology". Since removed, there has been an increase in my health, and I can tell a significant
difference when I'm away from such devices.
Smart meters are a KNOWN hazard to safety including fire and privacy of people in their own homes,
radiation emitters that decreases the health of humans and animals surrounded, cause a burden on
the environment from energy consumption and again, radiation. Homeowners should have theauthority to decide what technology is installed in their homes, and not be monopolized victims by
preventing residents from choosing a utility provider of their choice.
We encourage you to leave the system as is and refuse the installation of smart meters.
Best Regards,
Gary Tuerack

Hello - my name is Peter Hoffman. I am writing in favor of BANNING smart meters throughout New
Mexico. Through my personal experience & research, smart meters are extremely harmful to publichealth and the environment. Though the utility company in my area continues to try to put new smart
meters on my house, I reject & will not let them. I cover the current meter on my house with a special
cage to protect myself and my family members from the harmful electromagnetic radiation frequency
that these "smart" meter devices emit. EMF's have been proven to cause cancer among many other
health diseases. Not only does it harm human health, it also negatively affects animals, trees, andsurrounding nature life. These "smart" meters are also highly inaccurate & manipulated when it comesto financial billing. Smart meters are also an invasion of privacy as it allows the utility company and thegovernment to electronically peer into your home and see which devices you are using and when you
are using them and restrict access for any reason they see fit even if it is not legally allowed. The
bottom line is "smart" meters are highly dangerous and infringe on the personal health & rights ofcitizens. New Mexico should highly & seriously consider saying NO to smart meters in the benefit of
its citizens & natural environment.
Thank you,Peter Hoffman

Dear Commissioners,
The following is an account of the health impact myself and my neighbors are having with oursmart meters.
In my townhome complex, I was the first one to become a resident. There was only one
townhome building, mine, and I slept like a baby. Then the rest started becoming built out andavailable. There are 19 now. With the addition of each building and four more smart meters,
my sleep started to deteriorate. First I woke up at 4 a.m. every morning, then 2 then 11 then I
was tossing and turning all night long.
I shielded my bedroom with signal blocker paint, but the smart meter nightly download
penetrated even that. How do I know? In my profession as an electromagnetic radiation
specialist, I have logged energy spikes with a professional and calibrated RF meter. I knowwhat this energy looks like on a graph. The smart meter signature I logged in my bedroom wasat the precise times I wake up at night.
My border collie began having skin itching problems and would wake up exactly when I woke
up whimpering. She does so periodically at the exact same times of the night.
My neighbor next door and her daughter wake up exactly the same time I do at 2:13 a.m. every
night, and she can't get back to sleep. She doesn't know why.
Butch, down the street wakes up around 3 a.m. every night, and tosses and turns the rest of thenight.
About every one out of three people I know has sleep disruptions and don't know why. I have along memory. People in the 70s, 80s, even the 90s did not have sleep problems. It wasn't until
smart meters were installed all over the country that nearly everyone can not sleep through thenight any more. Men will blame their prostates, women that they have to get up to pee. Thiswas unheard of before the smart meter.
The newest ailment have been digestion issues. Many nights I wake up with the smart metertime and have gurgling in my guts. My dog does too and has diahrea.
Do you know the cognitive disruption that comes with lack of sleep. You can't think clearly andmemory becomes an issue. It becomes torture to sleep. You don't fall asleep easily and wakeup refreshed in the morning, quite the opposite. Sometimes you don't even know if you slept at
all except for the whisps of dreams you can recall.
Your state is lucky to have avoided this scourge. Please do not allow this so called
infrastructure into your state. It is not necessary, and it is not modern. Its is a degradation to alllife.

Hello,I am writing to tell you about my experience after a smart meter was installed in my home. I havechronic fatigue and pain. I get these occasional brain pains in the top/back of my skull. I hired acertified building biologist to assess my home environment. In the home assessment, we discoveredthat the smart meter was putting out high pulsing frequencies at certain intervals. I
was literally feeling the brain pain when we were standing at the smart meter while it was sending
data and measuring the frequencies. As a result, I took 2 actions. 1) put a faraday cage cover over thesmart meter to reduce the output, and 2) Installed a $2000 power box to combat the dirty electricity,magnetic and electrical fields that were coming in from the meter into my home. The
building biologist measured the before and after of our actions and it reduced all incoming fields. I
did not opt out and keep the old meter, although I really wanted too, because they were going tocharge me $40 a month as an alternative. I figured my solution of the power box installation would becheaper in the long run than pay to keep a service I already had.
The end result, I didn't have my brain pains in the top/back of my skull anymore. One of my healthproblems were solved.
Conclusion: It is unjust to force a technology, while ignoring any health implications, using
electromagnetic fields that emit radiation upon communities. My personal testimony is enoughevidence for me to avoid smart meters at all costs.
Sincerely,
Tracy Schlanser

Smart meters give me a migraine and I cannot sleep in a home that has a smart meter.
When we had a smart meter our bill was 35% higher financially.
THAT IS NOT FAIR!!!
I was lucky to get 3 to 4 interrupted hours of sleep a night and thought I wasgoing to go crazy.
In the house that we had a smart meter (until there was an "opt out"
program) THERE WERE NO BIRDS!
When the smart meter was removed the birds came back.
In a world where radiation from cell towers, wi-fi (we are hard wired in our home)
5 G is throughthe roof, we do not need one more thing disturbing the human body.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse speaks out against smart meters as well as cell towers and all so called"SAFE" radiation.
Dr Kruse says it is not safe and there has never been proper testing because it is a trillion dollar
business.

To New Mexico PRC Re: Smart Meter Dangers
The new Grid Modernization Statute that allows public utilities to apply for smart
meters includes the criteria for approval that the application must be “reasonable”
and must “provide customer protection.” Meters that damage customers’ healthand the environment are neither reasonable nor protective.
Clearly the above criteria invalidate totally PNM’s new application!
Smart meters cause fires and explosions. That is the opposite of protecting
consumers; it is endangering their very lives!
Smart meters emit radiation and cause all the wiring in a home to emit radiation.
The harm caused by radiation is widely documented.
Since Smart meters consume energy and raise electric bills, that makes them
unreasonable financially for the consumer, and the increase in energy consumption
also makes them unreasonable ecologically for the environment.
Smart meters are hackable and invade one's privacy--yet more unreasonablefeatures.
The above arguments prove beyond any doubt why PNM’s new application must be
denied.
I am fortunate in being able to keep my old meter, but my observations of theeffect of smart meters on the health of friends in other communities have been
horrifying.
There have been violent confrontations by aggressive installers who disrespected
legally posted No Trespass signs and broke down doors to install a Smart Meter. In
other cases they were installed stealthily and without permission in the absence ofthe residents. The ensuing reports of the residents' sudden health decline andserious illnesses demonstrate why smart meters must be avoided.

I live in Boulder County, Colorado, and Smart Meters were installed throughout the county about 14-15 years ago. No
one was asked if they wanted one installed at their home, and no one was given the choice to opt out. I was outraged
about this because I didn't want to be exposed to the additional EMF's these meters emit. It has been a concern to me
over the years, and I feel it was a huge infringement of my freedom of choice at my own home. I have noticed myenergy levels are not as good as they were before installation, I don't sleep as well, and my I am not as resilient tostress.
I strongly encourage the Public Service Company of New Mexico to keep NM cities and towns Smart Meter FREE. I
just wish the state of Colorado would have followed in the same direction!! Do the right thing, and keep smart meters
off the homes of NM residents!

New Mexico Public Regulation Commission:

As a long time, New Mexico resident, I write this commission to strongly urge the denial of PNM to install Gen 5
Itron Riva meters under the newly passed Grid Modernization Statute in our great state. On an individual level, I
am extremely sensitive to radio frequency emissions. Exposure from 5G and EMFs already impacts my ability tolive a full life personally, and as an Albuquerque college educator serving the local community. The
implementation of smart meters would without a doubt increase my symptomology and reduce my ability tomaintain a manageable existence creating extreme conceivable biological harm. I have been proud that New
Mexico has thus far set a precedent in not installing Smart meters which emit high radiation and cause all housewiring to emit radiation that would lead to the ill health of I and all fellow New Mexicans exposed to them.
The issue of potentially allowing human-made high-frequency nonionizing radiation in our state is not a trivial
matter as you all may know. Beyond the well documented health risks smart meters create, we also go in a
direction that is detrimental to the environment. In a state priding itself on producing renewable energy, knowthat Smart meters consume a great deal of energy. Smart meters also put our community safety further at risk as
they have been known to cause fires and spontaneous explosions. Smart meters are also unfortunately hackable,
and as such they put our privacy at risk. There is also significant data to suggest that smart meter readings areoften inaccurate, and there is a correlation between their installation and a noticeable rise in electric bills. Suchincreases would unfortunately impact our most vulnerable financially.
Finally, I have read several studies correlating death of diverse species of wildlife that have been unfortunate
enough to come in direct contact with the radiation from smart meter technology. I am sure that we are allconcerned about the health and continued longevity of our local bees, birds, bats, and other pollinators. I and all
New Mexicans have been and are extremely fortunate that we have public, private, and governmental entities
that are putting New Mexicans first and it is my sincere hope that this practice continues with what thiscommission decides on smart meters. Please deny PNM’s request for Gen 5 Itron Riva meters in New Mexico toprotect both current and future generations.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

NO to "smart meters" in New Mexico. Not now, not ever
Smart meters benefit utility corporations.
They HARM CITIZENS:
Smart meters deteriorate health.
Smart meters are hackable.
Smart meters consume energy.
Smart meters emit radiation and cause all the wiring in our homes to emit radiation.
Smart meters cause fires and explosions.
Smart meters invade our privacy.
Smart meters are inaccurate and raise our electric bills.

BE SMART NMPRC - STAY 'SMART METER'FREE.

Review of "Behind the Fear":"Here is a film that will shock you into waking up, because a scientific fraud of this magnitude isn't
supposed to happen. But it has happened. The film exposes the fraud with precision. It lays it out on
the table. The people who shaped the public perception of AIDS were lying all along. Those lies have
led to many deaths. So this film comes as the beginning of an antidote. You should watch it several
times. It will make you realize how science can be twisted and corrupted on a grand scale, withhorrendous consequences. Away from the media noise, it succeeds brilliantly. Nicole Zwiren, thedirector, made it on a shoestring, and she outdistanced every major media operation in the world.
That's quite an accomplishment."

Smart meter seems to be the most damaging to me and my clients. Once the IRON
electrictronic meter is removed many of my clients have an immediate response to
an improved health. This meter has been torture to myself and others in St Louis, it is
my professional oppinion this meter kills all biological life. I can see Conductive

Dear New Mexico PRC,
Please continue to support the people of New Mexico and prevent the use of smart meters. The smart
meters were installed in Tennessee and I have struggled with daily fatigue and increasing headaches. I cancount on one hand the number of bees I have seen in our yard this year. The pollinators are essential togrow food. The radiation from the smart meters and wireless microwave radiation is proven harmful topeople, pollinators, and animals.
We have functioned without smart meters for years and must continue to do so.
Thank you,

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
I'm writing to you to request that you refrain from installing so-called 'smart' metersin New Mexico, with personal experience of the health hazards of these devices. I've
heard that the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has recently reapplied
for permission to install Gen 5 Itron Riva 'smart' meters in the state of New Mexico.
New Mexico has passed a new Grid Modernization Statute allowing public utilities toapply for smart meters. But among the criteria for approval is that the applicationmust be “reasonable” and that smart meters must “provide customer protection.”
Meters that damage customers’ health and the environment are neither reasonable
nor protective.
'Smart Meters' were installed in my community
Like most Americans, I took only moderate notice of President Barack Obama’s
announcement on October 27, 2009 of a $3.4 billion commitment to build somethingcalled the “smart grid.” My ears perked up when Obama spoke about how the newsmart grid would be based on a clean energy economy, and I envisioned renewableenergy sources powering every home. I love the idea of clean energy, and I imagined
a future in which America’s clean energy leaders would be choosing energy sourcesand delivery systems that strive and succeed in doing good, or at least in doing noharm, as the word “clean” implies.
“The growth of clean energy can lead to the growth of our economy,” Obamaannounced, promising that 100 private companies, utilities, manufacturers, cities
and others would soon be receiving grants of between $400,000 and $200 million
each. This sense of fast forward action suited America’s recessionary times, andresistance was discouraged when Obama called for an “all hands on deck approach,”saying, “The closer we get to this new energy future, the harder the opposition isgoing to fight. It’s a debate between looking backwards and looking forward, between
those who are ready to seize the future and those who are afraid of the future, and weknow which side the United States of America has always come down on.”Few details were explained at this initial presentation. Carol Browner, Assistant to
the President for Energy and Climate Change said, “The smart grid is something thathas a transformational impact on how energy is delivered. This is about building
more than just miles of wire, it’s about building… something that works.” Having
something that works sounded promising, and at the time, I gave the smart grid nofurther thought.
Canary in the Coal Mine
I took no notice when smart meters were attached to my house in January 2010,
without notification by my utility, nor my express permission. I didn’t notice that one
by one, smart meters were being installed on homes to either side of mine, and all
around my neighborhood. I didn’t notice that slowly but surely, my entire city was
being outfitted with smart meters… until one day in October 2011 I wondered why I
awoke each morning feeling dizzy, with nosebleeds, blurred vision, ringing in myears, and migraine headaches. I wondered why when I was just sitting and watching
TV or reading, my heart would often skip a beat, and bizarre muscle tremors would
inexplicably spasm muscles on my face, arms, legs, and all over my body as if I’d justbeen given an invisible electric shock. When I spent ten days away from my home
and away from smart meters in Maui, I was amazed at how much better I felt. Gone
were all the symptoms which I’d been thinking might have been signs of sudden
aging. When I returned home, all the aforementioned symptoms returned, and I
wondered what could be causing them. In January 2012, a couple of months later, I
caught strep throat and felt sicker than I’d ever been in my life. Unable to feel
comfortable anywhere in the house, due to feelings of pain in my head, eyes, ears,
heart, and all over my body I slept on the living room floor, and turned my full
attention to the question of what, exactly, was making me feel so terribly sick.
When I looked up my symptoms, I was amazed to find that many of them matchedwhat used to be known as “microwave sickness.” The first scientific report of
microwave sickness appeared in 1974, with symptoms including: fatigue, headaches,
palpitations, insomnia, skin symptoms, impotence and altered blood pressure. In
cases of extreme exposure, symptoms also included: warming sensations, nausea,
neuropathy (numbness, tingling, even paralysis in toes and fingers), stomach cramps,
dyasthesia (a crushing sensation) and irritability. People in these studies had been
accidentally exposed to microwave radiation, and no clear biological markers at thattime were found, so these were not the kind of long-term studies that could establish
safe exposure levels.
While I’ve never owned or used any kind of cell phone, WiFi has been installed in myhome for the past decade, with the router running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week atthe opposite end of the house from where I sleep. I’ve worked with a wireless laptop
computer for many years, many hours a day on this WiFi network with no problems
or symptoms of any kind. Despite assurances from my local utility company, PacificGas & Electric (PG&E), that smart meters supposedly emitted much less radiation
than cell phones and WiFi systems, I couldn’t ignore the fact that I felt much better
when away from smart meters, and terribly sick when they were nearby.
I called and wrote to PG&E, asking them to immediately remove and replace thesmart meters that were making me so sick on my home with the analog meters I’d
had for years, with no problems. The PG&E spokesman I reached on the phone read

rather woodenly from some kind of prewritten script, repeating over and over again
how “smart meters are harmless.” I explained to him that I have a degree in physics
from UC Berkeley, and am well aware that many kinds of radiation that we currently
don’t have health standards or studies for are far from harmless, and that I was
certain I am experiencing extremely negative effects from smart meters installed on
my home. Eventually, this so-called “help” line staffer informed me that there wasnothing I could do–there was no way (yet) to opt out.
A few weeks later, I attended and spoke at a public hearing of the California Public
Utility Commission (CPUC) in San Francisco. Dozens of people spoke about how
they, too, have been adversely affected by smart meters, and I was shocked to hearreports of people who have become so electro hypersensitive that they are living intheir cars. On the bright side, I was delighted to hear some good news–beginning in
February 2012, California residents in Pacific Gas & Electric’s territories could opt
out, for an initial price and an on-going monthly extra charge. This is not aneighborhood opt-out, but rather a house-by-house opt-out, and businesses are notallowed to request to keep the time-tested analog meters at this time.
At the beginning of February 2012, I requested a smart meter opt-out, and on
February 8, 2012, the gas and electric smart meters on my home were replaced withanalog meters. While I still hear ringing in my ears and have increased sensitivity to
my computer that I never had before, I’m now sleeping well and no longer waking up
with nosebleeds and migraine headaches… and the heart palpitations, muscle spasms
and blurred vision are a thing of the past.
The Precautionary Principle
With the advent of exponential technological growth in recent years,
environmentalists have advocated use of something known as the precautionary
principle. The thinking goes that without some kinds of checks and balances, humancreativity is bound to occasionally throw caution to the wind, with results we now
recognize as being detrimental–regardless how wonderful we originally assumed thebenefits of our ingenuity to be.
The idea behind the precautionary principle is that if an action or policy is suspected
to risk causing harm to the public or the environment, in the absence of scientificconsensus that the action or policy is harmful, the burden of proof that it is notharmful falls on those taking the action. This can be achieved through open
communication with the community, who has a right to know complete information
about possible known risks and issues. The burden to supply this information lies
with the proponent of the new product or technology (not on the general public). Partof this open communication includes an alternatives assessment, with an obligation
to examine a full range of alternatives (including doing nothing) before selecting thealternative with the least potential negative impact on human health and theenvironment. Full cost accounting is part of this assessment, with long-term benefits
and costs (including health and environmental impact costs) included. The entire

process is: transparent to the public, participatory, and informed with the best
available information.
In some legal systems, such as within the European Union, application of the
precautionary principle is a statutory requirement. The advantage of the
precautionary principle for policy makers is that it reminds decision makers of theirsocial responsibility to protect the public and the environment from harm wheneverscientific investigation has found plausible risk. Only when scientific findings emerge
providing solid evidence of no harm shall the wheels of progress roll forward.
It’s Not Too Late
While the city of San Francisco made the news in March 2003 by adopting the San
Francisco Precautionary Principle Resolution, and again in June 2005 when San
Francisco’s Board of Supervisors passed the Precautionary Purchasing Ordinance…
not much of the precautionary principle has yet been seen in action in the UnitedStates.
Many people have stepped forward to acknowledge they have been adversely affectedby electromagnetic fields, including some high-profile, well-educated professionals,
such as Norway’s former prime minister, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland. Increasing
numbers of scientists and doctors are speaking up about known and suspected
dangers of the pulsed, non-ionizing microwave radiation emitted by smart meters.
The World Health Organization (WHO) now lists such electromagnetic radiation as aClass B carcinogen, indicating that it is considered likely to be carcinogenic tohumans, and there is increasingly clear evidence that this kind of radiation causes thebrain-blood barrier to become leaky, in such a way that toxins are more easily carried
into the brain.
With mounting questions from an increasingly concerned public wishing to knowwhat is being installed in our homes, and interested in knowing what effects wirelesssmart meters have on ourselves, our children, our friends and our families, it’s time
we hold policy makers accountable for ensuring that a democratic, truly transparent
decision-making process is taking place with respect to smart meters. The current“Ready-Fire!-Aim” approach to rolling-out wireless smart meters for the smart grid isnegatively affecting human health and the environment.
Just as we recognized the proverbial “writing on the wall” with regard totechnological wonders of their times: Agent Orange, Asbestos, CFCs,
Diethylstilbestrol (DES), Dioxin, DDT, lead paint, and Thalidomide… it’s time for us
to stop, wait for results from current scientific studies, do a thorough job gathering
all relevant wireless smart meter information, engage in open dialogue all involved
communities, and take a careful look at what role we really want wireless smart
meters to have in our world today. If smart meters are harming increasing numbersof people, we potentially have a huge ticking time bomb on our hands… one that isleaving few habitable places left on Earth for growing numbers of individuals whohave less and less tolerance for modern day electrosmog.

To the New Mexico PRC:
Hello to all off you!
The considerations of using smart meters is acute all over the world - because the production is possible, andthe economic success of the firm depends on the government's decision, because by this all people are forced
to support the economic profit of the firm via the taxes - that's why they tell you that their product ist "justwhat you need". It is their profit!
Why not asking the user whether they want to pay extra for a smart meter? Why do YOU dicede for them?
I hope that you know, what the selling company would never tell about their products - as side effects are in
general not good for sale!

Think on:- Smart meters consume energy.
- Smart meters emit radiation which is known to impact biological tissue and by
this health of humans and animals.
- Smart meters cause fires and explosions.
- Smart meters are hackable and it is not for sure that by this my electric bills willrise...
Please be reasonable - may be, your country will be in future a region where people
who are sensitive to radiation (e.g. due to high heavy metal loads in their bodys inconsequence of environmental pollution) may find a refuge of lower-radiation lewel- as of course, there are some who need one!
Sincerely
and greetings from Germany!

1. Smart meters consume more energy.
2. Smart meters emit unhealthy levels of radiation and cause all the wiring to emit radiation within thehome.
3. Smart meters can cause fires.
4. Smart meters are hackable.
5. Smart meters invade your privacy.
6. Smart meters are inaccurate and raise the electric bills.

I own my home in Santa Fe, and I oppose having a smart meter on my property.
It emits radiation that would make my home impossible to live in.
I do not use a smart phone, and will never use a smart phone for the same reason.
Smart meters are unsafe, have caused fires. I have lots of pine trees and dry pine needles in the area
where the meter would need to be.
I would have to sue for my safety.
Smart meters use electricity, raise bills. I can not, and will not pay for that.
Rather than have a smart meter on my property, I would have to go off the grid altogether and get solar
panels.
I would expect the utility company to cover this expense.

I am writing to ask that you refuse PNM's new application to install smart meters throughout New
Mexico. Although I don't currently live in NM, it is a state I visit frequently, and hope to live in someday.
As a health practitioner, I have personal knowledge of many people who have been injured by smart
meters being installed in their homes. For the majority, they suddenly developed symptoms and only
later discovered that the symptoms began immediately after the smart meter was installed. Common
symptoms are extreme headaches (one patient of mine had to retired from her profession early due tothe headaches that suddenly came on the day after her smart meter was installed), insomnia andtinnitus.
I live in Fairfax, CA, where we have similarly held out against installation of smart meters by ourpower company. Fairfax, like New Mexico, is a safe haven for those who have been injured by smart
meters.
Please keep beautiful New Mexico the safe, healthy bastion that it is. Please do not allow the powercompany to compromise the health and well-being of your citizens. Please do not allow PNM to install
unnecessary, health-compromising technology!

I’ve read for years about the damage that (not so) Smart Meters have done to animals and people.
Friends of mine suffer needlessly and have to go to great lengths to avoid the effects of EMFs. They
should not have to avoid sitting in restaurants or shopping in malls because of radiation and its effects. I
had to opt out and pay PG&E, the local utility company in California, each month for three years to avoid
a meter that does harm to humans and animals. I feel that is extortion. I want a refund with interest, butcannot get one. That is robbery.
Greed of the utility companies should not take precedence over the safety of people and animals. A 5G

Hello,
EMF was destroying my health so much, we opted out of smart meters as soon as they were rolling themout. Odd, we had to pay to protect my health, but that's another story.
My friend's neighbor had a smart meter put in. She didn't know it had such dangers, but soon found out her
chickens in the yard had huge tumors growing on their throats and body. The eggs they laid were odd
shapes and colors, and the chickens appeared to be tired, which was not ever seen prior to the installmentsof the smart meters.
I think we all know by now, and I know from first hand experience, that radiation destroys all biologicalrhythms and systems.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Please do not force "smart meters" onto residents of New Mexico. It has beenshown that so called smart
meters consume energy. Smart meters emit radiation and cause all the wiring inyour home to emit radiation. Smart meters cause fires and explosions. Smart
meters are hackable. Smart meters invade your privacy. Smart meters areinaccurate and raise your electric bills.
Here in Ontario Canada, consumer's only choice is to have a smart meter
installed on their property or have no electrical power at all. This is untenable,
draconian and tyrannical. After a loosing battle with our only electrical supplier(monopoly), I have installed a Faraday screen on my meter to mitigate some of
the EMF radiation but this doesn't protect me from "dirty electricity" running
through the wiring of my house. It also doesn't protect my right to privacy nor the
possibility of a fire.
On these grounds, consumers should at the very least, have a real choice with norepercussions or prejudices to their electricity supply.
Yours sincerely,
Oliver Apitius

Dear Honorable Commissioner,
I am against the deployment of so-called SMART meters that monitor consumers electrical usage continuously andtransmit usage data back to the utility by emitting radiation continuously.
I live in San Diego County and experienced harmful personal health effects after an Itron SMART meter was installed
in 2012 on the outside of my home 10 feet from where I slept at my previous address on Brookline Street in San
Diego City. I had no knowledge of potential harm from the meter at the time of installation. I experienced abrupt
awakening at 1 am, 2 am, 3 am. I experienced uncomfortable ear sensations in one ear while in bed. And acquired
tinnitus as a high pitched tone in my head which never stopped. I also felt pressure in my chest at times prompting
me to see a cardiologist for heart tests which were found to be negative for pathology.
I find the SMART meters to be of zero benefit to me. I look for ways to reduce the radiation to which I am exposed
but these SMART meters are on all day with no way to turn their radiation off. At least I can turn other radiation
emitting devices off at night while sleeping.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear NM PR Commissioners:
I’m writing in hopes of helping to defeat PNM’s new "smart” meter application and preserve New Mexico as a
refuge and an example to the world of what the people can do to protect both our health and theenvironment. Fortunately, I still have my digital analogue meter. I paid “through the nose” (extortion) toprevent installation of a wireless meter because I know people who have been egregiously harmed by them,people who were healthy until installation of a so-called smart meter drove them from their homes in agony
and turned them into EMF refugees severely disabled by EMF hyper sensitivity.
Please reject PNM’s application once and for all. Honor your oaths of office. Protect the public, not utility
profit.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to advocate that New Mexico remain a SMART meter free zone. I am environmentally sensitive to RFR.
My place of business became the sight of three cell towers within 8 feet of where I worked long shifts. This exposure
caused me to have insomnia when I was a tenant in an apartment complex surrounded by smart meters and RFR
antennas. In order to heal this condition I retreated to the mountains for several years to live away from SMART
meters and RFR antennas. I have had the blessing of being able to move back to town, reduce my carbon foot print,
ride a bike to work and live in a home that is hard wired, sheltered from harmful RFR frequencies and that has opted
out of installing a smart meter. My good fortune is a rarity. Most folks do not have that privilege.
I ask you to maintain New Mexico as a sanctuary for all of its residents from the harms of SMART meters on the
animal, botanic and human life in proximity.

Hello,
I live in British Columbia where the provincial utility disregarded my stated wish (in multiple registeredmails) to keep my analog meter and installed a 'smart' meter in 2016.
My sleep has been affected. I have had trouble falling and staying asleep, which was not the casebefore and when I go camping I can sleep again.
I don't hear as many songbirds now as I used to before 2016.
Pollinisation of fruit trees in my backyard seems to have been affected as well.
A bee-keeper neighbour has lost her beehives.
Smart meters consume energy. They emit radiation and cause the wiring in homes to emit radiation.They have caused
fires in various cities in British Columbia..They are hackable. They are a means to invade people's privacy. They havebeen inaccurate and have raised my electric bills.
With these meters, utilities can control and arbitrarily cut electricity to clients.
In short, smart meters are bad for consumers and nature.
Let New Mexico people keep using their analog meters.

I am writing to oppose further installation of smart meters in NM. Several years ago Kit Carson Electric installed
two smart meters on my property without informing me or having my consent. These meters had serious impacts
on my health and the health of my caretaker whose apartment was within 50 feet of the meters We both started
having symptoms of adrenal fatigue, especially the fatigue symptoms.
When I realized that we were infested unknowingly with the smart meters I researched ways to protect against theirimpact on our bodies and bought devises to protect the caretaker's apartment and my own house from theirradiation. David felt better as soon as these devises were installed. I also felt a sense of relief as their energy was
blocked. One of the things we did was to ground the meters, I stood next to the meters as David ran the groundwire from the meters to the earth. When I got back to my house I discovered that my right eye was inflamed totally
blood red from the 15 minutes I spent surrounded by their energy..
My electric bill. as well as the caretaker apartment has been significantly higher since these meters were installed.
The negative impact of these meters is well researched and documented. They must not be further allowed in
NM. In fairness the ones already installed need to be replaced at company expense!

To whom it may concern,
Truthfully, who even imagines you could be harmed by an electric meter? No one--unless you
happen to know that smart meters are radiation-emitting meters or start looking into what iswrong with your health or your family's health. Promoted as efficient and saving money andgiving the homeowner control over their electric use, it was anything but. However, mybiggest issue from smart meters remains health. I've never seen an electric company put
warnings on them as "radiation emitting devices." Or warning on where they are placed. Most
likely would not want one with that information--or know that you should never put one on
the wall where someone sleeps and lays their head at night, or on the wall by a desk where
one works all day long--which I have seen happen. Very harmful. If you were to take anelectrical testing EMF/RF/EMF meter, it would be apparent the harms that could happen fromsmart meters when the current runs in smart houses or in inadequate electric circuitry.
I've seen over and over again the lack of discrimination in putting a radiation emitting smart
meter in the same place of a safe non-radiating analog meter on primary living spaces. I've
seen apartment buildings with 25 radiation-emitting smart meters on one side of the building.
Major radiation to folks on that side of the building. I've met folks who got cancer on thatside of the building. Further, if you even knew to remove a smart meter from an unsafe
location, a homeowner would have to pay for it according to electrical policies I've seen,
which could be a substantial sum of money. Given the amount of wiring issues in people's
homes that they already don't know about, smart meters just make it worse. There are way too
many issues due to smart meters--too many for me to enumerate here.
Personally, I had to move from a condo after I couldn't take it 5 months later because of smart
meters--painful and expensive. My body couldn't handle the radiation from it. This added
insult to injury because I had just moved in to get away from chemical exposure due to myhome I felt forced to sell because of being hit with pesticide and experimental chemical
exposures from a hidden facility. Now I am both electrosensitive and chemically sensitive.
The only positive is that I know enough about them to avoid them and to educate others toprotect their health. I use grounding devices given the amount of unprecedented electricalexposures today which are simply not consonant with our own physical natural circuitry or
the earth.
I personally would only buy a home with an analog meter, not a smart meter. Further, I would
consider New Mexico a viable option to live if smart meters and 5G are avoidable.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

In Capitola, CA an entire bank of smart meters burst into flames and started a fire and burned down anapartment complex. Many fires in CA have been attributed to smart meters as a cause. Many people
complained of not being able to sleep, feeling unwell, and some people have had to literally move out of
their homes because it made them so sick.
I am so impressed that New Mexico has no smart meters. Keep it that way! What a wonderful example
for all of us to follow.
We opted out of having a smart meter, but even though we sent a certified letter signed by all who livein our complex, and signed by an attorney, they still tried to put one in, but weren’t able to because wewere home and told them re the signed letter and attorney opt out.
There is 24/7 emf with “smart”?meters. They have been attributed as cancer causing, weakening
immunity and causing sleeplessness.

Hello. I am writing to you from TN. We had a smart meter installed on our house without any warning
or notice. Our 8y/o son developed migraines after that. He is EMF sensitive. He had migraines up to 3
times a week. Someone tipped us off that maybe EMFs were the cause. We had our child sleep in thebasement for a month and a half, the farthest away from the smart meter. His migraines lessened. We
asked our utility company to give us a analog meter. They refused, but offered us a digital one, forwhich we have to pay $14 a month extra.
We proceeded by making our home as EMF-free as possible in the next year. By the grace of God, andthe wisdom He gave us, our son is migraine-free today. We keep paying extra every month to not havea smart meter. It is a sacrifice we are willing to make for our child’s health and wellbeing. Please keep
this in mind as you consider converting to these dangerous devices. I, strongly, recommend against
them. So many people will be affected, who may never figure out the source of their misery.

To whom it may concern,
Why is it that people who want to put unhealthy radio frequencies into people's homes are not disclosing of
the fact that these same frequencies are harmful to biological lifeforms (which is provable), AND THESE
SAME FREQUENCIES are also used to SURVEIL people. (provable.)
It seems to me that people and organisations who use such technologies do not care about health, safety or
privacy, but are most certainly interested in spying on people. Granted, there needs to be some national
security against foreign takeovers, but the question is: Who decides what is foreign and what is not?
Metaphorically, if I like chocolate but you prefer vanilla, am I invading your territory? You see what I mean?
Where is the line drawn?
This is a question for SOCIAL DEBATE, not a government decision that is allowed to be forced into
existence without public participation.

Dear New Mexico PRC,
I am writing to say that smart meters are
not good for anyone's health. When I knew
smart meters were coming, I phoned theelectricity commission to say smart meters
were bad for your health and I did not wantit. I was told it was not true, and I had tohave it anyway. When the man came to installit, I told him the same. He repeated thesame sentiments as his boss and installed it.
A friend of mine repeated the same words tothe installer and was told,'I agree with you
and I would not have one either.' He did notinstall it at my friend's house.

Two weeks later, I became sick and was sickfor five years. During that time I went
overseas for three months (USA) and was
not sick. As soon as I came home I was sick.
I tried and tried to protect myself, to noavail. In the end I had the smart meter
moved off the house about 45 feet away,
which cost me $5000, and after a while I
was no longer sick.
I have spent time with friends in New
Mexico and for their sake, and all otherpeople, I give you my story. It is true as myfamily and friends can testify.
Sending a meter reader is a job for many
people. My friend is the only one in my town
without one, so they must send a meter
reader just for him.
Thank you. Please do not install smart
meters.

I am writing with regard to your consideration of the installation of smart meters and will keep thisbrief.
I had a smart meter installed a few years ago and after only a short time, had to move out of thehouse until it was removed. When in the house I had heart-racing/palpitations, headache and a feelingof panic. This began with the installation (which I had arranged myself and didn't expect to have thiseffect) and ceased when the meter was removed.
I have found out that I am on the higher scale of sensitivity to emf radiation - like a significant
proportion of others.
My neighbour, an 80 year old man, also had a smart meter installed at around this time - and (maybe
coincidence) went from being extremely lively, active, outward-going to hobbling around andforgetful within 6 months. He died within 18 months. Nobody in the family or healthcare services evenconsidered the meter as a possible contributor to this.
Personally I believe that many many people are being affected by these meters and the systems thatthey integrate with - and that information is not being collected which could link them to healthissues. Nor are the public being informed about possible adverse effects.
An 18 year old in our village recently committed suicide after a prolonged period of strange heart
palpitations which could not be diagnosed by doctors. Okay, maybe nothing to do with his exposure
to smart-meter-type radiation, but because so few people are informed about possible side-effects,
the question was not asked.
Thank you for your time in reading about my experiences.

Dear members of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,

I write to you to explain the troubles caused by smart meters on the French
population.
I refused the installation of a Linky meter a few years ago as it was possible
for me because my meter is inside my house. It is the case for 50% ofelectricity meters in France. So the people whose meter was outside thehouse were not as lucky as me.
I have been suffering from electrohypersensitivity (EHS) for ten years now as
I was diagnosed by a French professor of medecine named Pr BELPOMME.
After celebrating New Year 2022 together with very close friends, on thesecond of January 2022 the Linky smart meter was installed in their houseand I felt immediately bad with headaches and dizziness.
On the next night I couldn't sleep in their friends' bedroom, where I used tosleepvery well because I had a headache specific to electric exposure withnevralgy of the brain.
On the next night I had the idea of putting the bed in the middle of the roomand my headache was less severe so I could sleep although I was not as well
as before the Linky installation.
In July I had the same bad experience in my sister's house because of theLinky stupid smart meter !

The electricity runs along the cables allover the place to transport the
information analyzed and sent by the Linky.
I can imagine the suffering of people who can't put their bed in the middle of
the room ! and also the suffering of patients and babies in hospitals and inhomes for the elderly !
So please take the exposure of millions of people to electric magnetic fields
into account and avoid this new health disaster in your state ! I am surevoters will remember that decision in the future elections...

Hello,
I live in France in a shared house with 8 families, several of which have electrosensitive
members. This condition is developing worldwide, and we have collectively chosen to protect
our homes from electromagnetic pollution since the construction of our community, which has
allowed the inhabitants to get better and better in this area of their health.
Smart meters are one of those invisible aggressors that we have refused, and you would reallybe doing a great example by maintaining the ban on the deployment of these meters in thehomes of the inhabitants of your regions.

Hello there,
I am contacting you from Cork, Ireland, to notify you of some observations and experiences sincesmart meters were introduced into our lovely community.
As you can imagine in Ireland, our landscape is scenic and the fields are green. However, since the vastroll out of huge ugly cell phone / broadband towers, it looks like we have an ugly transformer
character in every field. It is such a shame. They are so ugly and so so bad for our health.
Regarding smart meters, when it came to rolling our smart meters in our Country, it happened very
quietly and just like it was a routine upgrade. My fiancé is very sensitive to Wi-Fi, EMF, Electricity etc.
However, she was not always. It was only when after a car accident, she spent a lot of time in bed. Atthat time, the modem we had, was right outside the bedroom in line with our heads. Over time, shedeveloped a hyper sensitivity. It was so bad. At that time, we did not know what was going on.
Eventually we cabled everything up (Ethernet) and reduced usage to necessary usage only like working
from home whenever required. All calmed down a bit, for awhile.
Then, smart meters started getting installed in the local area. Luckily, we managed to opt out (byemailing the national energy provider, the ESB in Ireland). However, our house is adjoined to another,and their smart meter is actually attached to our kitchen. It did not take long before my Partner was ina living hell. Her symptoms got so bad!! She had to move to the West of Cork for 6 months and live as
much as she could in a rural area, without electricity. It had gotten that bad, that quickly. We
eventually discovered that faraday cages can help so managed to fit one to the smart meters of thehouses adjoining to ours. Still, she suffers but has to 'get on with it'.
We both suffer from tinnitus. Mine is milder but trust me it is always there and very agitating as you
can imagine. I can hear electrical waves passing through when quiet at night. Just from a logicalperspective, all this wireless technology, devices, towers and satellites; it just cannot be good. Not
good for human health, human focus, wildlife, environment, eco-systems etc. It just cannot. I do notknow any "scientist" who can show that it must be safe! Most guidelines are old data or not capturing
the full scale of the issue at hand. Technology can be seen as great, but we have gone too far. We are
not using technology just functionally. It is used nowadays for leisure and everything. Casualbrowsing...
I also strongly believe that smart meters tie in nicely with the energy surge in cost of living. I used toplay soccer with a friend working in renewable energy (solar panels etc) and he explained to me about
tariffs once smart meters are installed. Yes, you can identify how much you spend at certain times ofyour day etc but in general, all tariffs have gone up not long after smart meters have been installed.
Coincidence? Who knows...

The reason I share our news from Ireland is to ensure you do not make the same mistakes in New
Mexico. In time, many people will want to move to New Mexico to seek refuge from all the evergrowing and headache causing technology. You can actually advertise it as a reason to come andlive in our city. It will come to that in a couple of years. What was very interesting about Ireland also
was that we refused to allow a water company set up a similar water meter system before smart
meters were involved. The Government pressed ahead with 'Irish Water' but the people fought backand did not go for it. Even though, the Gov. spent millions setting up a state owned company andinstalled all the water meters outside houses around the Cities, the people prevailed as they would not
pay for water! However, the next time, the Giv. were smarter (pardon the pun) as the smart meter
upgrade just seemed to be a timely upgrade, which it arguably is, however, they are very vague andcoy about it. Once installed, they then start advertising the benefits (only of course) on TV and radio
etc to slowly brainwash us into accepting it. Everyone I know who has a smart meter has had higher
bills since installed and signed up to a tariff. Most of these people do not join the dots of having
headache symptoms etc from their smart devices.
I urge your City to refuse Smart Meters and become a refuge for all residents, wildlife and children.
Thank you and best of luck,
Michael Ahern.

Hello,
I live in Thunder Bay Area in a rural community, Ontario Canada.
The smart meter was installed without our informed consent nor permission and immediately caused behavioral
differences with my new spouse. The first three years before the meter was installed we both had a happy
cohabitation. Slowly after the meter was installed 2011 to 2015, she was always sick and missing work. Her behavior
was odd and prone to be aloof and uncommunicative, locking herself in the bedroom for days on end. She constantly
complained about anxiety attacks and chest pains, but when brought to the hospital, she would be fine and tests
came back normal. When she would come home, she would start the same cycle again. Finally she left me and wedivorced due to arguments over the misunderstanding of what the real cause was which in basics, she was emf
sensitive. It was not until 2020 it finally dawned on me what was going on, but it was far to late.
I attempted to hatch fertile chicken eggs in an incubator in my house and after 21 days, not one egg hatched. Further
examination showed that not one egg started to grow any fetus. I tried this 2 times and the same results with wellover 20 fertile eggs each time.
When the meter was first turned on, I received a back bill of $1200.00, on top of my regular bill, for back arrears theyguesstimated due to discrepancies of the smart meter readings, stating the analog meter was inaccurate. Three years
later, they started to hand out billing rebates in the form of lower prices to amend their overcharge due to the smart
meters. Apparently, the arrears bill I received was one of the lowest for arrears they mistakenly charged due to thesmart meter.
I tried to have it removed in 2020, but the Electric company stated I needed a doctor to fill out a special form to opt
out of the meter to go back to the manual analog meter. I talked to different doctors and they stated that they have apolicy not to get involved with such exemptions.
My advice would be; don't have them installed because they are unhealthy and are far more trouble then they areworth.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Even though I live in Europe, I am totally against 5G towers and smart meters.
I am concerned with people's and animals' health and safety and specifically the detrimental effect of
5G on the entire ecosystem. For that very reason I left Canada.

New Mexico is one of the last two states in the US -- Connecticut is the other one -- where an
investor-owned electric utility has not deployed smart meters. We want to keep New Mexico
that way -- an example to the world of what is possible, and a lower-radiation refuge for those
who need one.

Smart meters are a new technology without enough studies on the effects on the health and the naturalenvironnement
My point of view is if New Mexico keep on to stay away of the grid of the so-called "smart city", that is the best choice
for Today, and Tomorrow
Too much radiations create too much troubles, and unfortunately, too many people faces actually health troubles anddoesn't make the link between electromagnetic fields pollution and health.
I'm french and have spent times this year in your state and have really appreciate and enjoy the discovery, so muchthat I will come back soon.
I'm personally sensitive at this pollution and have learned how to use this technology with care, to protect me first, inbalance for staying healthy
Hoping you will consider my testimony
Thank you for paying attention and receive all my gratitude-Alexandra

I am one of the informed about EMFs/RF being a danger to our health and well being.
Where I live in Michigan I was able to op-out of having a smart meter for both my electricity andfor my gas meters, sadly my neighbors are not aware of this health issue and they mostly havesmart meters. I am not sure the percentage of op-outs in my community.
I do not use or have service for a cell phone because I believe that all that radiation is extremely
bad for our environment and for growing food. The bees are disappearing and without the bees
we won't have food. Because this radiation is stealthy, we don't feel it damaging our bodies andour minds, so it's a difficult issue to get people to pay attention to. Not to mention thecompletely addictive behavior so many have to their "devices" that are wireless, especially theircell phones. Complete addiction. That globalist entity is smart and are using these devices toget control of people, until people learn the truth about what they are doing to our planet andher people.
What I see in the future is this evil global cabal that includes the ccp, stalinists, marxists,eugenists/depopulation people, the pharmaceutical cartel, that group who calls themselves "theelite," the global bankers who want a global banking system so that those "theys" who want the
global governance will be in charge of EVERYTHING, including whether or not you getelectricity or gas to heat your house, let alone all the businesses. We need to stay out ofanything that will easily give up our control.
So there is the health issue and food issue and the globalist satanic group's issues.
You in New Mexico are way wiser about EMFs/RF because you have more informed people
and they have put their foot down, NO SMART METERS, yeah New Mexico!! So you'd be wise
to continue without the smart meters that are truly a window into complete tyranny/control andpotential death from the globalists group of evil satanic beings.
May the Lord bless New Mexico and the USA!!
May you continue to be wiser and lead the nation to be wiser.
Thank you to all who spoke up and to all who listened to those who are informed on thissubject.

Re: Case No. 22-00058-UT
Dear Members of the NM PRC,
I am writing to you today to give comment concerning the deployment of “smart” meters in your state. These
meters have caused health effects, some severe, for many in Pennsylvania. I urge you to exercise due diligence toprotect the citizens of New Mexico. Innumerable people are already suffering harm from exposure to radiofrequency
electromagnetic microwave radiation (RF-EMR) around the globe. Some do not make the connection.
A few examples of harm from RF-EMR from SW Pennsylvania include:• Mark S.’s daughter started having seizures when a “smart” meter was deployed on the outside of her bedroom wall.
When removed, the seizures stopped.
• A meter reader from our electric company reported that his mother has seizures that were under control. When she
moved to an apartment building, her seizures were more severe and they were no longer controlled. He said there were
multiple “smart” meters on her building.
• Grace Z.’s (an elderly woman) family had several adverse experiences:- Grace and her husband had early cataracts, but were told it would be years until they needed surgery. However,after getting a collector “smart” meter they both needed surgery very quickly. The doctor did not understand
why they both progressed with the cataracts so quickly and both needed surgery early.
- Her husband sat in a swing every day which was located by the collector “smart” meter. Her husband died a year
after the meter was installed. His doctors reported to Grace that her husband was full of cancer.
- Grace suffers with migraines, not sleeping, wakes during the night, feels vibrations going through her body, feels
nervous.
- Their pets suffer, too. One dog aged fast and died. Another dog is not doing well and is vomiting.
• Lee Ann L.’s family experienced numerous issues when a “smart” meter was deployed on their farm. She mentioned
they have an extra piece on their meter which may increase the effects.
- Lee Ann’s heart raced, and she would wake up at 4A every day in a sweat.
- Her son is on the autism spectrum and is adversely affected as neurological conditions are exacerbated by RFEMR. He had many nosebleeds for weeks on end until the “smart” meter was moved off their home.
- Spent $6000 to move the meter 50 feet away from the home.
• Rachel C. is a military veteran who developed a chemical sensitivity issue due to her exposure to burn pits during her
service. Rachel has learned that people with extreme sensitivities to chemicals, like she has, also have issues with RFEMR. Rachel filed a formal complaint to the Pennsylvania PUC against her electric utility to stop the deployment of a“smart” meter to avoid further issues, and thankfully she has a stay on her case.
• Michael R. lives in extremely close proximity to a tower which has multiple antennas. He has developed a cancerous
lesion under his eye and his hair is falling out. He did not have this problem until the tower went up.

Good morning,
Request to keep New Mexico free from Smart Meters. Please add my comments to the record
for: Case No. 22-00058-UT
I live in a mobile home park, my small plot of property on either side of my home is about 25 ft or less.
The Smart Meter on one side that is my neighbor's is outside of the bedroom windows. I am generally
affected by cell towers that we drive by with a sudden headache and feeling of disease. Because ofthat our meter, at our request, is still analog not a Smart Meter. We have the analog but most of ourneighbors have the Smart Meters and as expected are close together due to being in a mobile homepark.
Since the installation of Smart Meters I have noticed the following:ringing in my ears, with louder and different frequency when in the bedroom
skin problems such as tingling and itching
severe stomach issues like diarrhea, pain, trouble swallowing, that has not been helped with medicalcarefatigue and brain fog at times, almost as if the "volume" was turned up
my cat also started developing stomach issues near the time of installation of the meters
my former garden before Smart Meters grew wonderfully, which in the past few years is almost
unproductive, and was filled with pollinators like wasps, bees and butterflies but now on walks in ourneighborhood we find too many dead bees which seem to be laid out in groups and I no longer see
some of what used to be very common bumblebees
Thank you for accepting my input in this highly important matter.
LoritaBut in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where
righteousness dwells.

INTRODUCTION (French)
Le Dr. Paul Héroux est un physicien qui a œuvré en génie électrique (15 ans) et dans les sciences de la santé(35 ans). Il a débuté sa carrière de chercheur à l'Institut de Recherche d'Hydro-Québec à Varennes, Québec,une institution de réputation internationale. Après avoir complété sa formation par des cours en Biologie etMédecine, il s’est intéressé aux problèmes de santé reliés aux champs électromagnétiques.
Puis, à l'occasion d'un projet reliant les champs magnétiques de basse fréquence au cancer en milieu
professionnel, il est devenu professeur associé à la Faculté de Médecine de McGill dans le programme deSanté au Travail, dont il est actuellement le directeur. Il enseigne la Toxicologie et les Effets Sanitaires del'Électromagnétisme dans ce programme.
Il a été également nommé Scientifique Médical au département de chirurgie de l’Hôpital Royal Victoria(actuellement le Centre de Santé Universitaire de McGill) à la suite de son projet sur la pathophysiologie desbrûlures électriques.
Il a été engagé comme consultant expert par de nombreuses compagnies, dont Nortel, Siemens, Bell et
Quebec Cartier Mining.
Ses contributions majeures de recherche incluent le design et construction d’un dosimètre pour documenter
l’exposition aux radiations électromagnétiques, une étude majeure sur la pathophysiologie des brûluresélectriques, le développement d’une méthode diagnostique (Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy) basée sur les
propriétés électriques des tissus biologiques, et un système de vision par ordinateur pour l’évaluation deseffets de combinaisons de produits thérapeutiques et de l’environnement sur les cellules humaines en culture.
Dans le domaine spécifique de la bioélectromagnétique, il documenté la contraction de karyotype, la perte dechromosomes des cellules cancéreuses hyperploïdes sous restriction métabolique. La même contraction dekaryotype est détectée chez les cellules humaines cancéreuses exposées aux champs électromagnétiques debasse fréquence.
Ce travail a mené à la conclusion que ces champs agissent sur les mitochondries en inhibant le transfert deprotons et d’électrons par tunneling intermoléculaire, en particulier à travers des pores aqueux, etspécifiquement dans le canal d’entrée de l’enzyme ATP synthase. Il a également développé une systèmed’exposition pour évaluer les impacts biologiques de divers protocoles de télécommunications (GSM, TDMA,etc) sur les cellules vivantes à diverses fréquences micro-ondes.
Le Dr. Paul Héroux enseigne actuellement la toxicologie, la protection auditive et les effets sur la santé del’électromagnétisme aux étudiants en Santé professionnelle et de génie à la faculté de médecine de McGill.
Il suit depuis le début de sa carrière scientifique en 1976 le débat sur les effets biologiques des ondesélectromagnétiques. Il se considère un expert sur les effets électro-biologiques, ayant travaillé sur les brûluresélectriques, les mesures de champ magnétique, les méthodes électriques de diagnostique de l'édème, et leseffets des champs électromagnétiques sur les cellules cancéreuses.
Il a été retenu par le comité d’études de l’état du New Hampshire (USA) pour commenter les effets sanitaires
de la 5G.
Ses derniers travaux sont dirigés vers l’utilisation des champs magnétiques pour lutter contre le cancer.
Paul Héroux, Ph.D.
Dr. Paul Héroux is a physicist with experience in electrical engineering (15 years), and in the health sciences(33 years). After rounding out his formation with courses in Biology and Medicine, he became interested inhealth problems connected with electromagnetism.
On the occasion of a project linking low-frequency electromagnetic fields to occupational cancers, he wasappointed Associate Professor at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine in the Occupational Healthprogram, of which he is the current director. He teaches Toxicology and Health Effects of Electromagnetismin this program.

26

He was also appointed Medical Scientist in the Department of Surgery of the Royal Victoria Hospital(currently McGill University Health Center), following his work on the pathophysiology of electrical burns.
He was hired as a consultant by a number of companies, among which Nortel, Siemens, Bell Canada, andQuebec Cartier Mining.
His major research contributions include the design and construction of a dosimeter to assess exposure ofhumans to electromagnetic radiation, a definitive study on the pathophysiology of electrical burns, thedevelopment of a diagnostic method (Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy) based on the electrical properties ofliving tissues, and a computerized system based on machine vision for the assessment of the effects ofcombinations of medical and environmental agents on cultured human cells.
In the specific area of bioelectromagnetics, he documented Karyotype Contraction, the loss of chromosomes
by hyperploid cancer cells under metabolic suppression. The same phenomenon of Karyotype Contraction
was detected in all major human cancer cells exposed to extra-low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Thissensitivity of cancer cells to fields increases their diversity, leading to less favorable clinical outcomes. This
work led to the conclusion that electromagnetic fields suppress metabolism in mitochondria by inhibiting thetransport of protons through the aqueous pore of the input channel of ATP Synthase.
Another important contribution is that in exposures of erythro-leukemia cells to present-day oxygen andelectro-magnetic field variations, electromagnetic field changes proved to be more powerful than oxygenchanges in increasing cell death through necrosis and apoptosis. This work led to the conclusion thatelectromagnetic field changes generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), impacting long-term evolution ofhuman tissues. This results from interference of fields with the tunneling of electrons in Complexes I and IIIof oxidative phosphrylation. He has also designed an exposure system to assess the biological impacts ofvarious telecommunications protocols (GSM, TDMA, etc) on living cells at microwave frequencies.
Dr. Paul Héroux currently teaches Toxicology, Hearing Conservation, and Health Effects of Electromagnetic
Radiation to Occupational Health and Engineering students at McGill’s Faculty of Medicine.
Since the beginning of his science career in 1976, he has followed the debate surrounding the biologicaleffects of electromagnetism. He considers himself an expert on electro-biology, having worked on electricalburns, electromagnetic field measurements, electrical measurements methods of edema, and effects of low
frequency electromagnetic fields on cancer cells and on necrosis-apoptosis.
He was retained by the State of New Hampshire to serve on a committee assessing the potential health effectsof 5G radiation. His most recent work focuses on the utilization of magnetic fields against cancer in humans.

1. Heat is not Health
Canadian Safety Code 6 (SC6), describing safety limits for Radio-Frequency (RF)radiation, is based on an older Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) document, C95.1, which bases its own recommendations on avoidance ofshort-term tissue heating (temperature rise).
Short-term heat cannot represent long-term health.
Therefore, Exponent’s assessment of FortisBC smart meter health impacts, basedon SC6, is entirely based on heat, and is incorrect.
We are not concerned about heat, but about chronic health impacts of the radiation,
which are heavily documented on the Internet (https://ehtrust.org/key-issues/ ;https://www.orsaa.org/uploads/6/7/7/9/67791943/arps_conference_aug_2017_p_ba
ndara_v1.pdf . This thermal philosophy constitutes misdirection, looking at thewrong things.
Science connected with health or the environment can impact public policy. Public
policies, such as limits considered safe for RF exposure (SC6), can drive thedevelopment of engineered products, and finally, impact commercial practices.
Expectedly, such disturbing science is regularly challenged by industrial orpolitical interests, using scientists hired specifically for the purpose of seeding
doubt on legitimate findings.
By definition, science seeks to be objective, but any document that unrolls“scientific” arguments can be tainted by commercial or political influences.
Such documents will endeavor to convince readers that their view is the only
“scientific” one, using misdirection (looking at the wrong things), disinformation
or misinformation (making inappropriate comparisons), deception (one objective
hiding another) or railroading (making the proposed solution the only possibleone).
It has therefore been common for many industries (tobacco, asbestos, lead, global
warming, toxic chemicals) to fight, undermine, or pre-empt science that could
impact their commerce or practices. Those reports, issued by industry ororganizations hired by them, have all the appearance of genuine science, but in fact3

contain a number of fallacious arguments designed and collected to hide the truth.
These, we label pseudo-science.
1.1 The Pseudo-Science of RF Safety Limits

It is not a secret (Steneck 1985) that the determination of safety limits for exposureof humans to RF has been left to the military and to engineering-dominatedorganizations such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), and the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). In 1960, the ANSI, a conglomerate ofengineering firms, initiated a Radiation Hazards Standards project under the cosponsorship of the U.S. Department of the Navy and of the IEEE.
These organizations have promoted extremely high levels (near thermal) of RF as“safe”, and these limits were accepted in Canada as SC6.
High limits facilitated training of soldiers in theaters of war, because so much of
war depends on radio communications. The influence of the military is obvious
from early proposals (below).
Fig. 1. The military dominatedthe committee that set theearliest RF limits for the US.
The military, by the nature of
their business, are inclined toaccept risks.
But the application of military
standards to the general publicshould raise eyebrows. For
example, parachuting into enemy territory is acceptable in times of war, but that
does not mean that most of us would accept parachuting to work every morning.
Nevertheless, industry promoted limits similar to military levels for the generalpublic, simply because this expanded the “vital space” that industry felt it needed
for the unimpaired commercial deployment of as many wireless systems as
possible in the civilian population.
But the conflict of interest was very obvious when the IEEE took over the writingof exposure limits to RF for the public. The deliberations of the IEEE’s C95
committees culminated in human safety limits for RF that would have been seen asquite surprising, outside the halls of engineering. Two documents were issued, one
4

(C95.6) dealing with ELF (0-3 kHz) and one (C95.1) dealing with RF (3 kHz-300
GHz).
In toxicology and risk assessment, one sets safety limits based on observable
physiological reactions, or on diseases. This is amply illustrated in the American
Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Values forchemical Substances and Physical Agents. The table of adopted values, for morethan 600 chemicals, lists the name of each of the chemicals, along with thephysiological, medical or pathological impacts used to set the limit.
Somehow, IEEE escaped any real exploration of biology and medicine in setting
its safety limits. For the case of C95.6 at ELF, the limits were actually based onacute reactions to electric or magnetic fields that occurred within seconds, “usuallya fraction of a second”, and, of course, at very high field levels (IEEE Std C95.6
2002). Phenomena of interest retained were nerve stimulation, shocks, andmagnetophosphenes. Any effects happening beyond seconds of time, and at lower
field levels, were classified as “unconfirmed” and “unable to provide a firm basis”.
C95.6 thus documented that it did not extend the protection of human healthbeyond a second. This incredible reduction in the scope of the biological data used
to set thresholds is acknowledged within certain parts of the text, where it isconceded that the limits presented in the standard are unable to “provide proof or
guarantee of absolute safety”, and are in any case “wholly voluntary”. Yet, in otherpassages, the document presents itself as “widely accepted among experts in thescientific community” (IEEE C95.6 2002). But, presumably, this acceptance
relates to phenomena happening within one second of exposure.
IEEE also had to deal with the problem of health impacts of radio- frequency (RF)exposures in the form of wireless. Telecommunications and radar, crucial tomilitary operations since the two World Wars, were set for an explosivecommercial expansion into the hands of the public. This made the definition ofsafety limits for non-ionizing RF health effects a most urgent question.
RF safety standards were developed using criteria that stand as remarkably
incongruous in the context of modern science. Appreciation of toxicity should
depend on observations of disease, solidified by molecular biology and genetics,
but IEEE’s C95.1 committee elected to retain short-term heating by RF as the
toxicity variable chosen to quantify risk. Essentially, a change in behavior of rats
exposed to RF for one hour (de Lorge et al, 1980).

5

Using a harmful rise in body temperature as the level-setting toxicity variableguaranteed enormously high safety limits, and so an open field for unlimited
numbers of broadcasting and wireless developments.
C95.1 reduced RF health to a mere transfer of heat. This restricted context was safe
for industry in terms of its own development. Retaining acute heat as a criterion,
averaging heat over time (6/30 minutes) and space (1/10 g) at time and spacescales irrelevant to biological phenomena, promoted an out of focus view of theimportant interaction of non-ionizing RF with biology and health.
Similar to what was done for ELF, IEEE’s safety limits on RF hygiene (IEEE Std
C95.1 2005) only claim that the “rules protect against adverse health effects
associated with heating”. But heat from RF never was the worry of biologist,
toxicologists, and public health specialists.
IEEE used the wrong criteria or experiments to establish safety limits at ELF(shocks) and RF (heat), but further focused on short, acute effects of shocks (1second) or heat (6 or 30 minutes), which is again completely at odds with
toxicological tradition. If we consider the body of data developed for protection
against chemicals (TLVs and BEIs 2009), we note that only 15% of chemicals
have a short-term exposure limit, while all of them have long-term exposure limits.
This means that assessing toxicity and exposure over such short periods is
expected to miss 85% of limit-setting toxicities. The choices made by IEEE
deliberately ignored the health risks occurring over longer than a few seconds(ELF) or hour (RF). In spite of its surprising limitations, the viewpoint of C95.1
was again presented by IEEE as a product of expert risk assessments of peer
reviewed data. But this “expert” risk assessment was achieved within C95.1 bycareful distillation (selection and exclusion) of individuals sitting on thecommittees, followed by distillation (selection and exclusion) of the literature in
the writing up of the standards, both aimed at supporting a foregone conclusion.
Faced with the growing capacity of bio-medical science to document RF healthimpacts, industry had to go further. Its Standards Coordinating Committee 28(C95.1 and C95.6) was already in control of the administrative processes of safety
determinations. But given the need to insure stability of investments in wireless, it
seemed critical to convince everyone that health impacts of non-ionizing RF were
impossible, or at the very least negligible. For the general population andgovernment administrators, the link of the safety standards to IEEE might
eventually weaken its credibility. To improve this situation, industry encouraged

6the growth of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection(ICNIRP), from 1973 to 1992.
ICNIRP is a self-appointed group of experts gravitating around industry, andknown to promote safety limits based exclusively on heating (ICNIRP Guidelines
1998), as well as its systematic rejection of challenging evidence (Maisch 2009).
Already, in 2004, an ICNIRP representative states (Notes 2004): “ICNIRP only
considers acute effects in its precautionary principle approach. Considerationof long term effects is not possible.” Within its opaque vault, ICNIRP, much likethe Federal Communications Commission in the USA (United States Court ofAppeals 2021), ignores large amounts of scientific data, with no justification
presented to anyone. In spite of the severe intellectual limitations of the safety
limits proposed, by 2020, ICNIRP claims that its safety limits “provide a high levelof protection for all people against substantiated adverse health effects fromexposures to both short- and long-term, continuous and discontinuous
radiofrequency EMFs” (ICNIRP Guidelines 2020), thus again attempting tocategorize all non-thermal health effects of RF as constitutively “unsubstantiated”.
To promote with the public and with various government bodies that RF could not
produce health impacts, IEEE-ICNIRP relied on two public relations tools.
The first reassured the public that non-ionizing radiation was safe, precisely
because it was “non-ionizing”, and so cannot break atomic bonds (see Exponent
report, bottom of page 2, PDF 320). Industry trivialized the risks of non-ionizing
RF by seating it beside the specter of atomic radiation. Although it is true thationizing radiation is dangerous (the comparison is with the radiation from an atombomb or nuclear reactor), it does not follow that non-ionizing radiation is
innoffensive. This sophistic reasoning rested on the untenable assumption thationization is the sole mechanism by which RF can impact health, conveniently
brushing aside any other interaction. In fact, pointing to an ionization risk acquiredby RF at the high (ultraviolet) frequencies says nothing about risks at lower
frequencies. This is particularly true if the frequency is lowered far beyond that of
the Sun, to which all living systems had to adapt over 2 billion years.
The fact is that RF radiation IS dangerous, but not through a mechanism of
ionization. As pointed out by Dr. Woods of the New Hampshire Committee
studying the health effects of 5G (New Hampshire), the body is permanently
already ionized, and this is what allows RF to interact with living systems.
The second statement, aimed at a more technical audience, the general engineering
crowd, argued that any energy injected into the body by RFs would be7

overwhelmed by the thermal motion of molecules, making RF fields biologicallyineffective, unless applied at intensities present in a microwave oven. This second
sophism relies on the notion that electrons and protons are unavoidably driven to
thermal equilibrium with molecular motions, an idea that was immediately rejectedby serious scientists (Binhi 2007). In fact, the free electrons and protons of living
systems are so mobile that they are influenced by the tiniest environmental fields,
independently from molecular motion.
The standards themselves are written in a language intermediate between scientificand engineering publications, and are relatively extensive: C95.1, at 238 pages, hasbeen called by Nortel engineers “a consultant’s dream” because it is difficult togain easy access to its substance, even for technically minded people, and IEEE
even offers to give further technical clarifications to help its interpretation.
After drying the ink of the C95 standards, IEEE had to have them adopted bygovernments or public institutions. Most lay people do not understand the technicaldetails of RF, and would not take the time to wrestle with the C95.1 document.
Further, IEEE members could be expected to be influential on any national
standardization committee related to RF, as IEEE is the largest professionalorganization in the world. IEEE members in various countries could take fulladvantage of their technical skills to placate any challenges to the standards bypoliticians or the public. As IEEE was organizing an ostensibly independent
commission to support its views (ICNIRP), it was using its representation in mostcountries of the world (excluding the East) to have its safety limits for RF
accepted.
While students are in school, teachers repeatedly forbid plagiarism. But in the “realworld”, “Copy and Paste” is a pervasive technique for individuals, committees andorganizations that are short of time or resources. As IEEE could offer an alreadymade template to settle the technically thorny scientific problem of safety limits,
adoption of the C95.1 model was only a formality for many countries, occasionallywith small variations in their national versions to maintain the illusion of nationalsovereignty, as happened in Canada with SC6. The limits of SC6 were copied from
C95.1, themselves written by industry, and promoted excessively permissive
exposures based on heating, for the purpose of favoring deployment of as many
wireless devices as possible (“expand the market”).

8While promoting the IEEE limits throughout the world, there was really no need toadmit to the severely limited scope of the standard itself (wrong variables, wrong
time and space frames) to a basically non-technical audience.
Even supra-national organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) arevery vulnerable. WHO gets a large proportion of its budget from private donations,rather than national governments. WHO’s International EMF Project is set toanchor in place safety limits for RF, and anticipates a future where human
exposures to RF “will continue to increase as technology advances” (WHO 2020).
In a dramatic abandonment of its role, WHO is apparently unaware that RF
technology can be made safe through better engineering.

Over time, as sales of wireless devices climbed, industry could also take advantageof the reluctance of regulators to make decisions that might inconvenience
powerful commercial interests, or of the reluctance of nations to adopt safety limits9different from more powerful neighbors like the U.S., if any challenges to thesafety limits were mounted.
In conclusion, by severely restricting the variables used in setting safety limits, andkeeping claims of safety ambiguous, a simple strategy effectively allowed C95.6
and C95.1 to ignore many vital questions relevant to health science, while
simultaneously dodging implementation of any safety restrictions that could impact
the practices that industry desired for itself. ICNIRP-IEEE are blind to everything
but heat, and only perceives health effects happening within 1 hour.
The safety limits have remained very stable over the years, and Canada has neverreally had a different opinion from the U.S., FCC, or ICNIRP on RF hygiene.
Page 10 (PDF 328) of the Exponent report makes the unbelievable statement that
“Health Canada periodically updates SC6 as new scientific literature becomes
available” and again on page 12 (PDF 330) of “exposure limits forelectromagnetic fields based on lengthy and comprehensive assessments of thescientific literature”. As mentioned above, SC6 follows FCC-ICNIRP, and the

FCC was told in a court decision (United States Court of Appeals 2021) that it isactually ignoring the evolution of science.
That there is a gulf between true and government-acknowledged risks is confirmed
by insurance policies (Lloyd’s Exclusion 32) that specifically exclude health risks
damages caused by electromagnetic fields
https://www.jrseco.com/lloyds-insurance-company-does-not-cover-health-damagecaused-by-electromagnetic-radiation/ .
Ethics researchers at Harvard university view the FCC as dominated by thetelecommunications industry it should regulate (Alster 2015).
1.2. The Real Science of RF Safety Limits

Fortunately, the IEEE and SC6 were not alone in examining the health impacts of
RF. Four different opinions, beyond SC6, are available from the European
Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM, 2016), the Austrian Medical
Association (AMA, 2012), the International Guidelines on Non-Ionizing Radiation(IGNIR, 2018) and Baubiologie MAES (Bau, 2018).
These committees, not fostered by engineering organizations, used observation ofreal humans exposed to RF as well as their knowledge of real science to conclude
that much much lower safety limits were appropriate, as shown in Table 1.
Whereas SC6 and ICNIRP-IEEE only state single numbers, the health-based limits
10differentiate according to time of day (EUROPAEM and IGNIR) and risk level(AMA and Bau). The second column of Table 1 (“Category”) describes thecircumstances that apply to various limits of RF. The last column lists the factors
by which a specific recommendation is lower than the recommendation of SC6.
These factors vary from 2,700 to 27,000,000 times, depending on “Categories” (incolumn 2). Since 2,700 is associated with warnings of “very far above normal”(AMA) and “extreme concern” (Baubiologie), one can conclude that a possibly
safe environment would need to reduce SC6 exposures by 27,000 to 27,000,000
times from what is specified by SC6.
As illustrated in Fig. 3, Some of the limits use ranges (illustrated in light green)
instead of single values. All of them are more recent than ICNIRP-IEEE-SC6,although ICNIRP-IEEE-SC6 are periodically re-issued with little change.
Table 1. Exposure limits specified by EUROPAEM, AMA, IGNIR,
Baubiologie, SC6 and ICNIRP-IEEE at 900 MHz.

Fig. 3. Graphic presentation of Various Exposure Limits.

According to the Exponent report’s page 22 (PDF 340), the gas meters, in theirpresent configuration, would be 13,000 below SC6. The factor 13,000 should becompared to the last column of Table 1, which represents the real health limits forprotection against EMR
The large quantitative differences between the different safety standards areillustrated graphically in Fig. 3, where the logarithmic horizontal axis is in µW/m²
If the differences between SC6 (bottom) and the other standards seem large, this isbecause SC6 is astronomical in intensity, rather than because the health-based
limits are small.
The red horizontal bar illustrated in Fig. 3 has its left at the SC6 limit, and its rightat the the observation (the change in rat behavior under heat) used by IEEE to set
the safety limit. It shows a reduction by a factor of 50. 50 is the factor mentioned
by Exponent (bottom of page 11, PDF 329) to imply that the thermal limit can beused, with a reduction by 50 times, to cover all possible health effects. If this weretrue, the left end of the red bar would need to reach all the way to the left of thegraph, between 0.01 and 0.1. Obviously, this is not so.
The reader should be reminded that the minimum signal for a radio receiver or cell
phone to work is approximately 0.00003 µW/m². This means that the lowest
recommendation, for “sensitive” (IGNIR) or “no concern” (Baubiologie)
categories, 0.1 µW/m², is still 3,333 times higher than the threshold for cell phoneservice. The instensities at the very left of the graph (0.01 µW/m²) are within cell
12

phone service intensities. In other words, in practice, EHS people can live in areas
with cell phone service, but not too close to a cell phone basestation, and would notplace a cell phone against their head, or be near a person using one.
People are not wary of RF exposures because they are afraid of heat.
People are wary of RF exposures because of cancer, chronic diseases (ex. diabetes,
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) and reproductive harm.
1.3. The Safety Committees

It is also very instructive to examine the composition of the various committees
issuing safety limits. A prominent fact is that the IEEE C95.1-1966 committee, that
set the basic safety limits by choosing heat, and the high value of 10,000,000µW/m² as starting points, was dominated by members of the Tri-Service program(U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force; see Fig. 1). Military people assume risks as part oftheir job. Military representatives admitted to the risks of RF in the process ofstandard setting, but added that “people regularly get hurt in the service” (Steneck
1985, Navy Conference 1953, pp. 86-7).
Fig. 4. Composition of committees on Electromagnetic Radiation Safety limits.
The “Mother” in IGNIR is that of Jenny Fry, a 13 year old diagnosed with
EHS, who fought for two years, so she could sit away from her classroom WiFi router, because it gave her excruciating headaches. No action was taken by
her teachers on her behalf, and at 15, Jenny took her life by suicide.

13

The Austrian Medical Association (not illustrated) is the legal representation of the interests ofdoctors in Austria, and its committee is presumably made up mostly of physicians.

One can note, from the inspection of the individual elements of Fig. 4, that the US
IEEE committee is (1) dominated by the U.S. Armed Forces, and (2) contains only
tiny components of the health and other sciences that would be expected.
All four of the health-based committees are very different from those of US IEEE
C95.1-1966 or Fig. 1, with obviously large consequences on the recommendations,a reduction of 27,000 to 27,000,000 times, on the safety advice delivered.
Preferences vary depending on how much risk is acceptable, and this affects how
safety limits are set.
Rather than heat, these other health-based organizations use health criteria toestablish these much lower levels: (1) sleep disruption; (2) headaches; (3) ringing
or buzzing in the ears; (4) fatigue; (5) loss of concentration, memory, and learning
ability; and (6) disorientation, dizziness, and loss of balance. Two reports, from the
USA (left) and Australia (right), are illustrated below.

2. Lumping Different Radiations Together

The Exponent report almost systematically blurrs a true assessment of the RFradiation emitted by the meters by lumping together inappropriately signals ofdifferent frequencies, modulations and pulsations. This is disinformation (making
inappropriate comparisons to mislead). On page 30 of the report (PDF 348), it isstated“the indoor RF exposure from the Sonix IQ gas meter is…substantially lower
than the RF exposures from common natural and man-made sources.”

All “energies” of electromagnetic fields are not the same, contrary to what is
implied in many locations in the Exponent report. Natural sources such as the
Earth’s magnetic field, infrared emissions from the body, and sunlight, are entirely
different from Sonix emissions. They differ in frequency, modulation, andpulsation.

15

2.1. Frequency

Considering first the issue of frequency, it is not appropriate to compare, or lump
together, signals or fields that have large differences in frequencies. Specifically,
the static field of the Earth (frequency = 0), body infrared emissions (300 to
400,000 GHz) and the radiation from the Sun (higher than 75,000 GHz) are (1)extremely different from the signals proposed for deployment by FortisBC, and (2)have been a component of the living environment on Earth for 2 billion years,
which means that all living systems are highly adapted to these sources ofradiation, contrary to the modern forms of RF radiation used intelecommunications. Furthermore, these fields are static (do not change over time,or are not modulated).
This disinformation is present on Page 3 of the Exponent report (PDF 321), in
describing the common sources of EMR, as it seeks to confuse the nature ofsources by comparing the pulsed radiation of smart meters to static sources like theEarth and infrared from the body, and on page ix (PDF 318), at its very end,
“common natural and man-made sources”, where it presents again the argument thatthe heat content of the EMR from meters is much lower than that of sunlight.
These elements of disinformation forget completely that-the frequencies are entirely different between Sonix and Sun, and so havedifferent impacts, and-that one radiation (from Sonix) is pulsed, while the other (sunlight) is not.
Page 5 (PDF 323) misinforms by creating the impression that telecommunications
signals are part of nature, conveniently forgetting the facts that natural signals are(1) so low as to be irrelevant (although this is acknowledged in parentheses) andthat (2) all living systems are resistant to them. The huge expansion of human
exposures above natural levels has already been documented (Bandara 2018) in
Fig. 6.

16

Fig. 6. Note that every tick on
the vertical scale of the graphrepresents a factor of 1000.
2.2. Modulation

To this is added on page 5(PDF 323) an element of
disinformation in that thisradiation from natural sources
is not pulsed radiation, as
implied. This disinformation isrepeated on page 29 (PDF 347),
where an FM signal iscompared to pulse-modulated
RF from the Sonix meter.

Exponent’s report on page 7 (PDF 325) attempts to explain modulation, but leaves
out an adequate illustration of pulsed modulation. Pulsed modulation looks likeFig. 7. Early versions of artifical EMR were analog (contiuously modulated waves
such as AM and FM), not pulsed, a fact that is conveniently hidden in Figure 3(page 8, PDF 326). In other words, graph (c) of Fig. 3 does no represent that the
FSK radiation starts suddenly, lasts for a brief periods of time, and then disappears.

Figure 7. Pulsed
modulation at
900 MHz. The
FlexNetcommunication
pulse (theoscillation)
would be 16,000
times longer intime thanillustrated here.

172.3. Pulsation
Figure 3 of the Exponent report (p. 8, PDF 326) attempt to picture Sonix’s FSK
protocol as part of the same family as the familiar AM and FM signals. The
diagram does not display that the FSK signal is not continuous, but spurious,
suddenly turning on and off with a duration of about 55 milliseconds (the burst ismuch longer than the 0.577 millisecond of GSM cell phone signals). A spurious
signal increases biological activity.
That the type of signals influences its healt himpact is amply demonstrated by
Table 3 of the EUROPAEM document, shown here as Figure 8, where different
sources are attributed safety limits that differ by as much as one hundred to athousandfold between them (FM broadcast at 10,000, to WiFi at 10 µW/m²).
That modulation is important was also demonstrated in the recent NTP report(NTP), where the evidence for carcinogenicity was different between two types ofrelatively otherwise similar modulations (GSM and CDMA).

3. Exposures

Page 3 of the Exponent report (PDF 321), mentions other electromagnetic sourcesthat are familiar, and have various levels of biological action, such as broadcasting,radar and cell phones. Beyond the confusion injected by Exponent about the typesof radiation, another confusion is injected between elective and imposed sources.
Broadcasting signals such as FM are much less injurious for the same power
density than WiFi (Fig. 8 above). Radar is an application that is rarely encounteredby citizens, and it is also easy to choose to reside away from them, and in fact
relatively hard to live near them.
Cell phones are indeed widely used, but many do not, wisely, hold them against
their head, use them rarely, or even not at all. Can these special and avoidable
exposures be used to justify the forced exposure of a whole population to RF?
According to this logic, it is perfectly allowable to compound all the environmental
problems our society is already the victim of, and to justify further decay of theenvironment by adding “a small percentage”.
The obfuscation of RF sources is particularly obvious in Figure 6 of the Exponent
report (page 27, PDF 345), which qualifies as disinformation on exposures. Figure
6 presents that the 5 bars at the left of the diagram (the proposed new sources) aresmaller than the bars at the right of the histogram, implying that the world isalready so saturated with RF radiation, that the FortisBC deployment willcontribute only miniscule further pollution in the environment.
On page 1 top (PDF 319), the text goes on to point out that the meters will not be
the worst source out there, as the environment is already polluted by power
frequency, as well as other RF signals. The argument here seems to be that “a little
more pollution will not hurt you”.
Exponent’s argument, presented in Figure 6 (page 27, PDF 345), is that fields arehigh in the vicinity of certain devices. Certain elements in this graph areinappropriately included, as we will show below. Other devices are under thecontrol of users, allowing them to protect themselves from the radiation emitted, if
they choose. A smart meter deployment does not give customers any choice.

19

Therefore, this argument ignores the considerable volume of liveable space, now
with very low pulsed RF radiation, that will be contaminated with such radiationfrom the deployment of 1 million new sources.

Fig. 9a. From Exponent report, page 27 (PDF 345). Considering the three
generic bars at the extreme right of the histogram.
1. The three “General Environments” bars at the extreme right (urban, suburban
and rural, retrieved from Joseph et al. 2012) actually lump all RF signals together(individualized components are represented by the bars on their left), including FM
and TV signals, which are a different type of radiation, not pulsed digital packets,and so have no or much smaller health impacts (see Fig. 8), compared to the Sonix
emissions.
2. The work of Joseph et al. presents "max-hold measurements" exposures" in thevicinity of base stations". This essentially means that these numbers do not
represent the general living environment, but were instead performed to insure that,in close proximity to installed antennas, the thermal limits of ICNIRP are notexceeded. This type of measurement is similar to those carried out to allow a basestation on the market on the basis of ICNIRP's heat criteria, so that in close
proximity, the antenna could not possibly exceed the thermal limits. But suchmeasurements are not useful to gauge the health impacts of the FortisBC
deployment on the citizens of BC. FortisBC's customers will not spend large
20amounts of time against the Sonix units, but may nervertheless be regularly
exposed to their radiation at a distance that is clearly not a thermal risk, which iswhat Joseph et al. tried to demonstrate for other sources.
Disregarding these three lump estimations at the right, because of their uncertain
content, it will not have escaped the attention of the reader that other bars in the
diagram create confusion, because they are a different type from Sonic’s pulsed RF
radiation. Specifically,-the FM/TV broadcast towers, which do not use pulsed modulation,-the Microwave Oven, which does not use pulsed modulation,-the static magnetic field of the Earth, which is at zero frequency,-the infrared radiation from the human body, which exists at frequencies verymuch higher (300 to 400,000 GHz) than the Sonix RF frequencies (0.9 GHz).
The last two in the list above are inevitable environmental entities that living
systems have had billions of years of evolution to learn to co-exist with. Human
infrared radiation is incoherent and unpolarized, contrary to Sonix sources.
Disregarding these sources, we are left with the sources in Fig. 9b.
Fig. 9b.
Updateddiagram.

Considering
next the bars
labeled “Cell Phone”, “Cordless Phone”, “Bluetooth”, and “Wi-Fi” in Fig. 9b, one
should note that all these sources are items that a consumer has the choice topurchase, but is not under any constraint to own or use.
21

The actual quantitative contributions of these elective items are only loosely
defined in Table 4 of the Exponent document (page 24, PDF 342). These items
may be currently fashionable for a proportion of the population, but individuals
have full control over them.
If we support freedom of choice, and disregard those elective sources, we now
consider the “Base Station” bar in Fig. 9b that displays a large deviation (vertical
red bar), but whose blue bar represents a distance of 100 meters.
Obviously, not everyone lives within 100 m of a cell phone basestation, in fact,some of us can use a tower at a
distance of 28 km. In thissituation, the bar can be attenuatedby a factor of 78,400 times, as
shown in the updated figure 9c,
and with an error bar now
reaching to the bottom of thegraph (0.00000001). The fact thatthe red bar now reaches thebottom of the graph indicates thatmany people presently livein locations where the contributionof cell phone towers is minuscule,but this small signal is still
functional for cell phone service.

Fig. 9c. Updated diagram.

Looking now at the situation from the point of view of an individual who has opted
to minimize RF exposure in his environment by the simple methods of (1) not
acquiring offending items or using rarely, (2) using wired internet connections, but
without feeling obligated to shield his home or other objects, the situation now
presents as in Fig. 9d. This figure has, superimposed, the EUROPAEM limits ofFig. 8.

22

Fig. 9d. Diagram for an individual wishing to avoid RF exposures, or anelectrosensitive person.
One should remember that the
exposures in the Exponent
diagram are rated in terms ofheat with respect to SC6.
This means that the RF signals
are averaged over time,
according to a thermalist view.
The four standardization
organizations (EUROPAEM,IGNIR, Baubiologie and AMA),
which base their views on
health, do not recognize thistype of averaging, but use,rather “max peak/peak hold”
readings (EUROPAEM),
because they feel this metric is
more revealing of the healthimpacts on people.
The ratio between root-meansquare (energy) averages and“max peak/peak hold” values observed in the field (Joseph et al., Table 4) for GSM
signals varies between 45 and 457 times. Even when using a moderate factor of
100 between “exposure as % of SC6” and “max peak/peak hold”, one can place the
EUROPAEM recommendations as shown in Fig. 9d.
The choice between the root-mean square (energy) averages and “max peak/peakhold” measurements boils down to something like this…
When considering a pulse of radiation, is it more likely that the maximum value ofthe pulse is relevant to your health, or is the average energy of the pulse over time
more relevant?
If you choose the average, this means that you are not worried about being hit by
the bullet from a gun, because when averaged over 30 minutes, the impact of thebullet can barely be felt. Averaging is in many cases appropriate for chemicals,
because the body has many buffering mechanisms to compensate. But this is nottrue for a RF field penetrating the body, and reaching a threshold of damage.

23

And then, is the nervous system of a person responsive to pulses, or to heat?
It is clear, even using the data provided by Exponent, and especially when
considering the error bars in red, that a sensitive individual will be likely to be
adversely impacted a large proportion of the time by the Sonix deployment (thefive bars at left).
A sensitive person is certainly impacted by three sources, and potentially impacted
by two other sources in Fig. 9d.
A person at night is certainly impacted by two sources, and potentially impacted
by three other sources in Fig. 9d.
A person during the day is potentially impacted by all sources in Fig. 9d.
As stated on page 19 (PDF 337) of the Exponent report, the equivalent isotopicallyradiated power of end points, at 2 Watt, is higher than the typical 600 mW of a cell
phone. And it is well-known that EHS people have to avoid use, or proximity tocell phones. EHS people avoid radiating devices in their home, currently have toselect carefully the locations where they live, and even avoid travelling alongroutes where there are cell phone towers. Such is the environment we are in theprocess of creating for our fellow humans.
The EHS population has the misfortune or fortune of being sensitive to the fields,with symptoms following exposures in the relatively short term, but all of us areaffected in a way that involves other impacts like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’sand Parkinson’s.
Page 24, Table 4 (PDF 342) list exposures from a variety of sources of RF in thehome. The table is disinformation, as the first two are different from Sonix as totheir frequencies, modulation, coherence and polarization: so removed from thesubject of this report that they are irrelavent.
The next four are all elective sources, that are not imposed on you by any
adminsitration, but emanate from objects you elect to buy and use.
The last one (oven) is a fixed frequency contained sources that does not radiate andis not pulsed. You will notice that all sources are a tiny fraction of the astronomical
SC6 limit, except for the cell phone placed against the ear.
Page 25 (PDF 343) at the bottom says that “other sources both inside andoutside a residence are many times greater than that from the Sonix IQ gas
meter”.

24

This statement is disinformation, as it does not consider frequency or
impulsiveness of these sources. The argument collapses entirely, unless one
believes that the only possible effect of RF radiation is heat, as SC6 does.
4. Densification of the RF Environment

4.1. General Densification

According to the Exponent report (page 19, PDF 337), British Columbia currently
has 6,900 cell phone tower locations where 68,000 cell phone transmitters areactive. Those transmitters are indeed sources that emit RF digital signals, overwhich citizens of BC have no control.
The FortisBC project will add 1 million RF, pulsative transmitters, mostly Sonix
IQ gas meters, to the province (page 15, PDF 333). This represents a very large
increase in the number of imposed RF sources throughout BC. Contrary to what issuggested by Exponent’s Fig. 6, the impact on spaces presently relatively virgin of
RF radiation will be huge.
From page 17 (PDF 335), 1,000,000 Gas meters, 10,000 Gateways and 170 Base
Stations would be deployed, and most of these sources are in BC resident’s homes.
One should note a 2020 recommendation by New Hampshire’s Commission to
Study The Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology (NewHampshire) on the densification of cell phone towers, which led to therecommendation of a 500 m
setback of new towers. This isbased on a documented increased
risk of diseases within a distanceof 500 m.
One should also note a SouthAmerican study (Dode 2011) on
densification of cell phone towers,
which showed an increased risk ofdying from an already establishedcancer if one lived within 500 mof the tower.
Fig. 10. Mortality by neoplasia and cellular telephone base stations in the Belo
Horizonte municipality, Minas Gerais state, Brazil.

25

4.2. Local Densification
Page 13 (PDF 331) relates that the meters are not daisy-chained, meaning that they
do not typically pass data to one another to reach the base-station, which would
lead to some meters being more active than others, and consequently, heavier
exposures. But what is not mentioned is whether units can be grouped together for
installation convenience, for example in a single room within apartment blocks.
Fig 11. Measuring a bank of meters.
This grouping can lead to local
accumulation of radiation that isequivalent to daisy-chaining, but basedof physical location, rather thantransmission protocol. It is probable that
FortisBC does not want to envisagethese scenarios, leaving them as an
uncontrollable consequence of
deployment. But such scenarios arelikely to create unacceptable situations if one’s bedroom or kitchen is unfavorably
located in a building. How many devices can be grouped together?
The same page mentions two FlexNet communications protocols, but gives very
few details. Version 1 would be a burst of radiation of approximately 55
milliseconds involving two different (unknown) FSK frequencies (for “0” and for“1”), while version 2 would involve a larger spacing (unknown) between thefrequencies.
Page 16 (PDF 334) describes meters as being “generally mounted outside
residences or other buildings”, which seems to indicates that FortisBC assumes nocontrol over installation locations, thus possible proximity to clients.
5. Evolution of Data Acquisition and the Internet of Things

The electronics industry dreams of an unlimited market for RF emitters that would
be created if every object purchased by a citizen included an RF emitter, supplying
data to a massive data gathering operation. Because of standards like SC6, the factthat such an expansion will force all of us into a permanent soup of pulsed
radiation does not even seem to be a concern for anyone within engineering circles.
Enthusiasm of industry for wireless IoT shows its ignorance of RF health impacts.
This aggressive and unrealistic view of industry is very obvious from 201326

documents that forecast 50 billion connected IoT devices in 2020 (The Evolutionof the Internet of Things 2013), while in fact only 12 billion were actuallydeployed in 2021 (iot-analytics). But there is a real risk that, due to the common
statement that “information is the new oil”, industry will tend to lead markets into
system updates, and expansion of RF wireless, specifically smart meters.
Once an RF wireless network is established, engineers will naturally try to use it
maximally by increasing data transmission rates, upgrades such as Zigbee chips,
and the numbers of sensors attached. As often said in law, “possession is ninetenths of ownership”, which means that engineers spontaneously assume thatwhatever measurement their instruments can make is their property. But it isuncertain whether this is true in public spaces, and is certainly not true in private
spaces, although industry constantly attempts to expand its reach.
The “natural gas meters” proposed by FortisBC are presented as doing two things:(1) relaying gas consumption, which until now was performed on a monthly basis,and (2) allowing remote shutoff capability in the event of an emergency. Both ofthese objectives are justified and useful.
However, they come with two major inconveniences that could have been avoided:(1) increased EMR exposures to the hosts of these meters, and (2) increased data
flow to the gas supplier on the patterns of consumption of their customers.
One can expect that human exposures will increase in the future as FortisBC“improves” its data systems through upgrades
5.1. The Trojan Horse
The design of the FortisBC meter deployment goes beyond its stated objectives.
This is deception (claiming one objective to hide another). Beyond gatheringbilling information, the system steals data from customers, and sets aninfrastructure for large future increases in the RF exposures of one million
customers by adhering to an irrational IoT philosophy. Acquiring data beyond
what is necessary for the legitimate operations of billing is equivalent to placing asurveillance device in a home, without the owner’s consent. It is important torealize that, as these meters evolve, they could gain the capability of detailed
mapping of user behavior, equivalent to placing a camera inside a home.
From the description of End Points on page 15 (PDF 333), FortisBC is developing
a wireless data acquisition system that is likely to grow, and exposure to the
population of BC to RF will grow correspondingly. The lack of consideration for27human exposure to EMR is obvious when one reads that FortisBC finds it
appropriate to monitor the development of rust every 6 hours (page 17, PDF 335).
What is obvious here is that once the system is installed, the cost of transmitting
more data to FortisBC is miniscule, particularly if one is unconcerned with human
exposures to RF. Engineers always want as much data as they can compile, andcapacity to handle data tends to increase over time. Further, FortisBC speaks in a
generic way of a “variety of sensors and equipment” and transitioning from “onceper hour” to “once per minute” (page 15, PDF 333), announcing clearly theestablishment of a possibly wide ranging data system. Even within the present
proposal and hardware, it is stated that EMR could increase by 60 times from theinitial levels stated in the Application. Higher data rates are cheap, once equipment
is installed, and FortisBC is not demonstrating any restraint in controlling EMR
pollution of the environment. RF exposure is thus limited by their equipment,
rather than health concerns.
As indicated on page 20 (PDF 338), the typical (“expected”) operation, Table 3, isominous, because it represents as well the ultimate amplification possible with theinfrastructure, if it was used fully with a 100% duty cycle, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Possible future amplification of RF emissions at 100% duty cycle.
Exposure Amplification
Unit
at 100% Duty cycle

SmartPoint

Therefore, the FortisBC plan sets the stage for likely increasing RF exposures in
the future.
Although it is believed that the expected 20 year lifetime of the meters if primarily
determined by batteries (PDF 723), this could be extended by decades by
installation of a sector-connected power source. And such an upgrade would meanthat it would be technically possible to use 100% duty cycles, as shown in Table 2.
On the other hand, could FortisBC increase the meter’s lifetime by reducing datatransmission rates?
Page 6 (PDF 324) states that transmission only occurs when needed. Since this is a
gas consumption meter used for monthly billing, why do we need to transmit 6times a day, and 180 times a month? Why not reduce EMR exposure by a factor of
180, with monthly transmission? If other (private, non-billing) data is transmitted,
exactly what is sent? And what guarantee do we have that the data transmission
28

protocols will not be modified remotely in the future, and if so, will a new permit
application be necessary each time? Or will there be a silent, creeping rise in EMR
exposures?
5.2. Background Operation
Although “end points” “have an equivalent isotopically radiated power(EIRP) of 2 Watts (W) or less” (page 19, PDF 337), they do have a power
output in excess of 1W (table 7.1.2, SonixIQ Test Report), certainly comparable toa cellular phone, which many EHS people cannot tolerate. These radiators also
have the ability to emit radiation in many modes (Normal, Half-Baud, Double
Density, Priority and Boost), which, depending on operation, can widen the 99%
bandwidth by a factor of 10.5 times (1.29 to 13.51 kHz). They also emit 2nd and 3rd
harmonics (table 7.5.2-1, SonixIQ Test Report).
The Sonix IQ Quick Guide A9REC44.pdf by Sensus also reports three warnings
that were not discussed in the Exponent report. They are reproduced below.
RADIATION HAZARD
In order to satisfy the FCC RF exposure limit for transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 20cm (7.8 inches) or moreshould be maintained while operating the Sensus SONIXIQ. To
ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance are notrecommended. This minimum safe distance is required between
personnel and this antenna of this device.
RADIATION HAZARD
In order to satisfy the ISED RF exposure limit for transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 26cm (10.2 inches) or moreshould be maintained while operating the Sensus SONIXIQ. To
ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is notrecommended. This minimum safe distance is required between
personnel and the antenna of this device.
(Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has
adopted Health Canada's Safety Code 6)
ATTENTION
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
29

gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiatedpower (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successfulcommunication.
These comments indicate that the SonixIQ is capable of breaking the SC6 thermal
threshold at distances of 26 cm, which implies that a considerable volume of ahome could be subject to adverse radiation, given that the ratio between thethermal limit and the biologically adverse thresholds are one million or more (Fig.
3). Using the inverse-square-law, this would yield a deleterious zone of 260 m.
Obviously, the programmed activity or duty cycle of the meter is a big factor in
determining human exposures. Below is a quote from a report about smart meters.
“Smart meters emit short duration pulses of RF energy in their communication
with other meters and data collection points. These emissions generally happen
all through the day. Besides the normal three (in the case of BED) or four (in thecase of GMP) times a day that electric energy consumption data are reported
back to a data collection point for subsequent transmission to the company,
smart meters must maintain their organization within the RF LAN to which they
belong and this necessitates the transmission of beacon signals from time totime. Additionally, each meter can, when required by the mesh network, assist
neighbouring smart meters by transmitting the neighbour’s data on to anothermeter or data collection point. Further, the HAN radio can produce pulsed fields
in its search for and communication with IHDs. All of this means that most smart
meters remain relatively active in terms of brief signals being transmitted.” (Tell,2013).
Note: in the text above, BED and GMP refer to specific locations with different meter models. The HAN is a Zigbee
chip, which relays entirely separate data, not related to the smart meter’s function. IHD is in home display device.

The importance of the algorithm used is illustrated in a report (Kim and Nwanu
2011) comparing instances of electric and gas meters, which used different
transmission algorithms, and generated the following tables.

30

“Meter Read Data” = transmit energy usage data.
“Network Management” = maintains the health of the network (e.g., route establishment).
“Time Synch” = network clock administration messages.
“Mesh Network Message Management” activities required to forward routed messages.

Fig. 11. Algorithm alternatives.
Note that nowhere in the Exponent document is the contribution in RF radiationfrom the network’s housekeeping activity mentioned.
On page 30 (PDF 338), Table 3 tells us that a SonixIQ Gas Meter will transmit
0.34 seconds per day. This can be compared to the 0.676 seconds per day in Table
2-2, or to the 45.3 seconds per day of table 2-1 (67 times more) above.
Exponent’s stated daily meter emission time seems particularly low.
And can the duty cycle be changed by upgrades over a period of 20 years?
6. Meter Alternatives

FortisBC’s project ignores past industry experience, where deployment of RF
wireless devices has created health problems in the normal population, impacted
the EHS population, and triggered new EHS cases (Fig. 5).
The alternatives presented of page 57 (PDF) of 309-359 DOC_62642_B-1-FEICPCN-AMI-Project-Application.pdf, the drive-by and the full AMI, both involve
RF exposures. The reason for favoring them is essentially that they are “Becoming
the Industry Standard”.
Such a statement reflects the desire to used off-the-shelf designs planned many
years ago, inspired by IoT-wireless propaganda, an engineering ideology blind to31

the health impacts of EMR. FortisBC thus completely failed in its exploration ofalternatives that would have no health impacts on BC residents.
This technical railroading ignored technical alternatives such as data transmission
through phone lines (or even through a mobile phone, if the house owner prefers),
all based on the incorrect assumption of zero health impacts of EMR.
In fact, it is imperative that all new meter deployments emit essentially no EMR,
using instead alternative methods of data transmission that are already technicallyand presently feasible, but not necessarily favored by current trends.
It is important (1) that space be maintained for the electrosensitive who cannot
tolerate this radiation in the short term, and (2) not to increase the disease rates
already produced by the current EMR environment.
7. Comments of specific passages of the Exponent report

Pages 7-8 (PDF 325-6) describe the choice of frequency shift keying (FSK) rather
than other protocols, indicating a robust, but low-rate signal which can beconsidered as an amplitude modulation of two carrier frequencies coding for digital
data as follows:

If φ1 = φ2 in the equations above, the modulation is coherent, whereas if φ1and φ2 are allowed to be different, the modulation is incoherent.

Fig. 12. Coherent FSK at the
top and incoherent FSK at thebottom.
There is no indication by
FortisBC of whether coherent orincoherent FSK is used. A single
oscillator is usually employed in
the coherent solution, whereas
two are typical of the incoherent
solution. The difference between
the two signals is obvious in a32

trace (Fig. 12). In incoherent FSK, the tone frequencies are not separated byexactly half the bit rate, which means that shifts in frequency will happen
haphazardly distant from zero.
It is known that cellular responses such as ornithine decarboxylase activity (acancer related variable) are impacted by the coherence of an EMR signal (Litovitz
et al. 1991; Litovitz et al. 1993; Penafiel et al. 1997) and that two US Patents havebeen issued on the use of phasing of signals to protect living systems from adverse
effects of electromagnetic fields (Litovitz 1995; Litovitz 2001).
The FSK signal is internally digitally encoded between two frequencies (a type of
frequency modulation), but contrary to other widely known signals such as the 60Hz field of electrical power, or the signals of various cell phone protocols (GSM orCDMA), the biological effects of this specific type of modulation have never beenformally evaluated. Remember that different modulations of cell phone signals,
GSM and CDMA, have been shown to have different effects on cancer rates inanimals (NTP).
Perhaps the absence of data on the health impacts of FSK explains the statement on
page viii (PDF 317): The findings presented herein are made to areasonable degree of scientific certainty.

This statement could be seen as professional prudence when assessing a complex
literature, but it could also be revealing of serious gaps that occurred in the past in
the evaluation of the toxicity of EMR.
We believe that the toxicity evaluation of EMR was done extremely poorly withincommittees dominated by industry, and that the inadequacies of these evaluations
were hidden from the government agencies and the public, as the engineeringcommunity used its worldwide influence to misrepresent science.

33

7. Conclusions

Installation of a million wireless RF radiation sources in British Columbia is aserious matter, considering their 20 year lifetime, and the fact that it establishes astructure that normalizes obligatory exposure of residents to harmful RF radiation.
(A) The electromagnetic contribution of these Sonix meters by FortisBC will
dominate many domestic environments where this type of radiation is presently
low.
(B) The hypersensitive population (presently at 3-4%) will have to find ways tocompensate for the increased spatial converge of 1 million new units spewing
radiation. This could mean re-arranging a house, or moving to a different location.
FortisBC should not feel comfortable with forcing EMR exposure on its clients,
based on the erroneous assumption of EMR innocuity.
(C) The levels of RF foreseen by the project are unacceptable to reputed
recommendations from four institutions (AMA, Baubiolgie, IGNIR and
EUROPAEM).
We submit that, contrary to the assumptions made in the Exponent report,(1) The Sonix RF exposures are far from inoffensive both to hypersensitive people(EHS) and to the general population, thereby forcing EMR exposures on victims
maintained in an unsuspecting state by industry pseudo-science. The fact that thecontribution of the meters is expected to be much lower than that allowed by SC6
is irrelevant, because SC6 is based on a simplistic thermal experiment that isirrelevant to real health impacts.
(2) FortisBC is entirely silent in justifying its need for acquisition of data on aschedule that is much tighter than necessary for energy billing, which potentiallyamounts to an invasion of privacy, and data theft (5.1, Trojan Horse).
In the current state of science and technology, specifically health impacts as wellas the existence of technical alternatives, involuntary electromagnetic irradiationfrom a fixed device is unacceptable. Wireless should only be allowed for mobile
sources.
FortisBC should invest in technical solutions with low future legal liability (nowireless), and alternative wired solutions should be implemented.

There are more and more electrohypersensitive people in the world. In every country, in every
corner of the world. I am one of them.
New Mexico is one of the few places in the world where people's health is being preserved
because smart meters are not widespread. Health and human rights are being preserved.
Smart meters emit electromagnetic pollution and foul the wiring by contaminating it with dirty
electricity. They permanently consume electricity in a climate change scenario.
Insurers do not cover the health risks of EMFs.
Faced with a situation in which the number of electrosensitive people who lose their health, jobs
and homes is increasing, perhaps it should be the states and politicians who wrongly legislate infavor of large companies to the detriment of the people, who will have to respond for thedamages caused.
Please preserve the health of the people of New Mexico by maintaining the current situation
regarding smart meters.

To the PRC,
Please do not allow PNM or any other utility to install smart meters. I already have sensitivities toradiation of all kinds, and do not want to have to contend with more.They emit radiation that damages
our health, and the health of the animals and plants in our environment. I am not interested in being
part of a 5G grid. Smart meters use energy, not conserve it. They raise electric bills, make all theelectricity in the house emit radiation.They are hackable and invade our privacy. Opting out should bepermitted, but since smart meters also affect the environment and would be in other people's homes
where we would want to visit, it would also affect visitors to both private and public buildings. A bad
idea all around. Also, opting out provisions are usually expensive to the consumer and undermines thewhole ridiculous rationale for their installation. Use your brains about this. I appreciate it.

Dear Sirs/Madames:
Smart meters cause havoc from ruining one's health and sleep TO causing runaway fires. Let someone
from California tell you about this detrimental issue.
In 2013, smart meters were instituted within my neighborhood...I incurred inner ear damage, andhealth issues from inability to sleep due to: anxiety, non-stop heart palpitations, and migraines.
I literally fled from my home after two months of the above, and stayed with a friend who did not havesmart meters in their neighborhood--FOR THREE YEARS--because I felt death would have occurred
within weeks if I had not done so.
During those three years, I had to fight to have my smart meter removed (I mean fight!! because myrequesst to change back to an analog meter were ignored by all phone staff). I had to contact thehead of PG&E in San Francisco to get any action, and even then I had to argue my case for weeks!!.
AND I had to have my bedroom shielded (a $2,000 retrofit). Only then could I move back into myhome. In the meantime my pets all got cancer and passed away; despite my going home each day toshower and change my clothing, feed them and see to their safety.
THE FIRES--everyone knows that PG&E has been sued, and sued, and our rates continue to soar
because of it. They say less than 100 people died in those repetitive (year after year) fires--but valid
reports of thousands of people perishing have been reported. NOT TO MENTION the wildlife, anddamage to property and the environment--all long term damage.
Smart meters are unnecessary. So be kind to your clients, nature, the earth and allow one state to bea place of refuge. DO THE RIGHT THING, AND BAND SMART METERS FROM YOUR STATE FORETERNITY!
Sincerely, K. Blomquist

To Whom it May Concern:
Hi. My name is Tina. I am writing to you today because I found out that you are reapplying for smart
meters in New Mexico. I ask you to please reconsider. As a lifelong Florida resident, I am planning tomove after the first of the year and New Mexico is on the top of my list of places to move to
specifically because of the lack of smart meters. Well, that and the dry, clean, desert air.
So many negative reactions have occurred since our neighborhood was smart metered. I have an opt
out meter, though I would have preferred to keep my analog. Still, the changes I noticed wereimmediate. On the day they were getting installed, I walked outside and had no idea where I was. I
had the worst kind of disorientation. This reaction was ongoing and lasted for the first few months.
The brain is not equipped to handle the bombardment of all this radiation and the EMFs. That was
only the beginning. The vertigo attacks have only gotten worse in the past three years, maybe becauseof the 5G towers that were also added nearby. Another huge problem is constant dry mouth. My son
is a teenager and he started having issues as well. The dry mouth, headaches, and sleep disruptions
being the worst for him. We do NOT use wifi in our home and are the only house around us without asmart meter. Still, the effects are far reaching. After the installation of the smart meters, my neighbor's
big dog suddenly got cancer and died. My cat started acting differently as well. We used to have a lotof bats around here which are great for eating all the mosquitoes, but I have not seen any bats in thepast year or two. We don't even use cell phones either. If just the smart meters around us are causing
us so many issues without even having one on our house, I can't imagine how much worse it would be
if we had a smart meter as well.
There are many people looking for refuge from all of the "smart" options being thrown at us andforced on us. We have done the research and we know the dangers. It seems the electric companies
don't care about human and animal life, only profits. Oh, and the utility company said our bills would
decrease, but the opposite has been true. I could site many reasons why smart meters are a bad
option, but that would be a long list. I'm sure you already know as you were opposed in the past andthere were proceedings that supplied much information. I sincerely urge you to keep New Mexico freeand set a good example for the rest of the country.I will be keeping an eye on this for when I have myplans to move next year. Thank you for your time in reading this and for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Tina Cada

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express my disapproval of New Mexico's plan to allow communities to apply for the use of smart
meters for residents. While I do not live in New Mexico, I am in a State where Smart Meters are used widely.
Unfortunately, since I live in an apartment complex in Texas, I had no choice in the matter. Since the installation of
the smart meter, I have noticed diminished sleep quality and overall agitation that is out of character for me. Other
friends who have stayed a night have reported similar effects.
As one of two states that currently does not utilize that technology, I applaud you. Individuals with extreme
sensitivities to that type of invasive radiation that is emitted by the devices will suffer the consequences greatly. As
more research emerges as to the damages this type of technology causes to humans and animals, I urge you to keep
your State clean and refuse Smart Meters. I would imagine that those with extreme sensitivities would seek refuge in
New Mexico to have a tranquil place to reside.
Thank you for your consideration on behalf of my friends that live in your great State.
Best regards,
LaurieLaurie Grams

Dear people from the Mexican Public Regulation Commission,
I heard you plan to allow smart meters in the houses of New Mexico. I hereby request you to reconsider this.
It is not without health consequences.
Due to radiation we missed some months good sleep. Since my husband and I are radiation-sensitive, we try
to keep out as much radiation as possible and even 'sterilized' our modem that was put on by the company
every time we put it out.
Without phones, radiation and smart meter we can feel much more rest and quietness in the house. I think it
is important that there are places in the world where this is possible.
Then there are other reasons not to take smart meters. Because it costs the people a lot of money.
We live in the Netherlands. Since we have a smart meter, we seem to use more energy, though two children
already left the house in the last years. This is because the meter still fluctuates above zero, but not anymore
under zero. So the fluctuations are positive for the energy company, not for the citizens.
And then lastly, how will you check the privacy? Who can see if a company really follows privacy regulations?
They have the technique to look inside a household energy use, why not use it?
I wish you wisdom in your decision,
Inge van Keulen

Note: Children's Health Defense took the FCC to court and WON! The FCC lost the case because
they had NOT updated the safety exposure level of EMF's (RF radiation) in over 20+ years. CHD
submitted: 11,000 pages of Evidence that wireless technology isharmful. https://pagosadailypost.com/2021/08/16/historic-win-by-childrens-health-defense-in-caseagainst-fcc-on-safety-guidelines-for-5g-and-wireless/
New Mexico is fortunate because we can learn from other's who have had Smart Meters installed. The
last time PNM tried to install Smart Meters in Albuquerque and surrounding areas, they lost and were notgiven permission to install Smart Meters. Since that time, the above article shows that CHD took the FCC
to court and they lost the case because they did not update safety guidelines for EMF's (RF radiation) andmany scientific papers have been published showing the harmful affects on humans, environment andanimals. "Prior to the case: 2,000 comments-an exceptionally large number- were filed with the
FCC. These comments were filed by scientists and science organizations, such as the
BioInitiative: https://bioinitiative.org/ and downloads available from EMF Scientists, doctors,
medical organizations and hundreds of individuals:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/landmark-5g-case-against-fcc-hearing-set-jan-25/
There are many reasons, not to install Smart Meters in Albuquerque or any where in New Mexico.
1. Smart meters have cause fires and explosions.
2. Smart meters communicate via Wifi to neighboring Smart Meters. Wifi can be hacked.
3. Smart meters cause all the wiring in your home to emit radiation.
4. Smart meters invade your privacy.
5. Smart meters are inaccurate and raise your electric bills. (point: there are a lot of people who get
LIHEAP, does the state really want to pay more?)
6. Smart meters last about 7 years. The old analog meters lasted 30-40 years.
7. Smart meters create health issues.
8.PNM wants us to pay a fee, if we do not want a Smart Meter installed. Last time I went to thegrocery store, I wasn't charged for not buying something.
9. If Smart meters are allowed, we will be exposed to Smart Meter EMF's when we go to the grocery
store, post office, bank, library, children's day care, pick up our children from school, hospital, dentist
office..... Opting out of a Smart Meter does not protect the EMF injured.

PS I am EMF injured and am lucky because I figured it out, what was causing my symptoms. The worse
symptom was almost passing out. I did my research and reduced my exposure so I do not own acellphone. My computer is a landline and my modem does not have Wifi on it. I still have some
symptoms but I am very concerned that if Smart Meters are installed in Albuquerque, it could put meover the edge. I can still function but with restrictions. Smart Meter exposure would also come from myneighbor's apartment or home. Going about my business in Albuquerque would expose me while
shopping, going to the library etc. I have seen video's of EMF injured beyond repair and they said, if you
notice yourself becoming EMF sensitive reduce your exposure. I did 3 months of EMF research andsubmitted it the last time, PNM wanted to install Smart Meters in Albuquerque. Please do not make it
impossible for me to live in Albuquerque. New Mexico is one of the last states, that does not allow Smart
Meters. It is a haven, for those of us, who are EMF injured or teetering on the edge. Please do not allow
smart meters in my home town or state.

Hi Ana,I was directed to you and my comments are below pertaining to PNM.
All utilities should be limited to apply for one cost increase per calendar year. PNM has asked for two in the last few
months.
Non renewable fuel cost adjustment, cost effective energy saving program and city/county franchise fees shouldhave a cap and time limitation; not continue forever on the monthly bill.
PNM brags about the low cost per KWH, but when you add all the fees listed above it becomes NOT a low cost per
KWH.
Thank you for reading.

New Mexico Public Regulation Commission:
I am a citizen of New Mexico writing to urge the Commission to reject PNM's application for Gen 5 Itron Riva
smart meters. There is a vast and ever-increasing body of data, from scientific studies and personal
experiences, attesting to the devastating harm to biological life caused by smart meters in particular andelectromagnetic radiation in general. I urge the Commission to weigh the dubious benefits from smart metersagainst the irreparable damage that will be unleashed upon New Mexicans, as well as insects and otheranimals.
The untold price to be paid is not only to be measured in health care costs, but also harm to our pricelessecosystem. Any claimed technological "benefits" pale in comparison to the health of our biological andecological systems. We need to seriously ask ourselves what we truly value at the end of the day--asomewhat more integrated network of "smart" technology fueled by harmful electromagnetic radiation, or thehealth of all living beings in New Mexico?
A vote against this application is also a vote for the health, integrity and future viability of New Mexico and all
New Mexicans, as well as the many plants and animals that have no say in this matter, but whom are
impacted by our technologies. It is also a vote to preserve New Mexico's leading-edge stance on this matteras one of only two states that remain free from smart meters. Please vote to send a message to the worldthat New Mexico places the health of its people and ecosystems above unnatural, artificial, life-destroying
technologies. Thank you for taking my perspective under consideration.

New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
New Mexico is one of the last two states in the US -- Connecticut is the other one -- where an investorowned electric utility has not deployed smart meters. We want to keep New Mexico that way -- anexample to the world of what is possible, and a lower-radiation refuge for those who need one.
I have experienced health challenges from being near Smart Meters and from homes I've lived in withthem installed in California.
Please keep Smart Meters out of New Mexico. Hopefully this will help other stated embrace the same
approach with time.

As has already been stated: "Smart meters consume energy. Smart meters emit radiation and cause all
the wiring in your home to emit radiation. Smart meters cause fires and explosions. Smart meters arehackable. Smart meters invade your privacy" and in many cases, Smart meters are inaccurate and raise
your electric bills. Smart meters, like WIFI and other forms of wireless technology are much easier tohack than hard-wired systems. Analog meters have lasted for many years, performing well and are lessexpensive than digital and smart meters in general. They do not cause health problems like smart
meters do.
I was severely damaged by pulse-modultated wireless technology in 1996, and became unable to live in
my house when a smart meter was put on it many years later. Due to this evolving technology, I havebeen repeatedly forced into exile for the last 26 years and have spent 25 years of that time deeply
researching the (sometimes extremely) harmful biological effects of polarized (man made) electricity
and wireless technology. I have literally known thousands of people over the past nine years or so who
became so ill when smart meters were installed in their homes that they had to move just as I did.
Many have lost thousands upon thousands of dollars due to smart meters & other forms of wirelesstechnology that damaged their health, and completely upturned their lives.
I have known others that got inaccurate bills to the tune of $20,000 and after beginning to research the
problem, also learned, for the first time, about the many damaging biological effects that have too often
not been relayed to the public. I have also known others that lived in places where fires occurred after
smart meters were installed. All of this is criminal and needs to be addressed.
Thank you for considering this letter.

Dear New Mexico PRC,
Please enter this comment into the public record for Case No. 22-00058-UT.
Thank you for refusing smart meters in the past. Please hold steady on this resolve today.
I am the Director of Massachusetts for Safe Technology and we are working toward responsible grid modernization in Massachusetts as well so you arecertainly not alone.
I routinely hear from citizens who have been harmed by wireless radiation emissions. Recently Dr. Alexia McKnight, a veterinarian radiologist, asked me to join
her in presenting wireless radiation risks to her children's school teachers and administrators. She was very seriously harmed by a utility "smart" meter. See ourpresentations here. You can jump to her personal smart meter experience here.
Deploying Technology Responsibly
The energy companies routinely give false assurances that smart meters don't give off much radiation. When I testified with the MA DPU, I created this simple
three-minute video showing how many times a day a digital electric meter pulses toxic microwave radiation, and the high magnetic field it gives off:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-fEjgvtJto&list=PLMAz9ZRXjYmqMfxC9gK_NLITIrCqFkk1h&index=11
Here's a two-minute video I created showing very high levels of radiation from a utility smart water meter:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-fEjgvtJto&list=PLMAz9ZRXjYmqMfxC9gK_NLITIrCqFkk1h&index=11
No Help from Higher-Ups
New Hampshire is the first government in the nation to investigate the harm, and they published a groundbreaking Commission Report documenting theconflicts of interest with the wireless industry and our federal agencies. They also document the science, health and legal risks, and solutions to educate andprotect the public with hard-wired technology. (Did you know Lloyds of London, Swiss RE and others do not cover for wireless radiation damages? That canleave our state agencies and municipalities holding the bag for damages when public records show they knew of the potential harm.)
As you may know, the FCC was recently sued for ignoring 11,000 pages of evidence that wireless radiation from all sources is very biologically damaging tochildren, adults, pollinators -- and all flora and fauna on the planet.
Important inroads are being made, but it will take years for federal public policy to catch up to the science.
Protecting NM Communities
In the interim, the industry is pushing hard and fast to install hazardous infrastructure before they are made to stop.
That is why it is essential for our state and local public servants to quickly come up to speed on risk management for utility meters, cell towers and small cells.
Utility meters and internet connections should be hard-wired to the premises with no toxic wireless transmissions. Not only is a cabled connection far morereliable, it is also faster, safer, greener and sustainable. Wireless solutions are highly profitable and quick to install for industry but they are a bad choice forour communities.
To get you started, please see the public policy paper, Reinventing Wires: The Future of Landlines and Networks for expert insights on how our communities
can deploy advanced technology without radiating ourselves and our environment.
In the short-term, when these toxic wireless radiation exposures are eliminated, many begin sleeping through the night again. Headaches, nosebleeds, anxiety,depression, cognitive impairment, behavior issues and more begin to abate. As you can see in the science, wireless radiation is a neurotoxin andimmunosuppressant among other harms.
At the EMF Medical Conference, the doctors and scientists presenting the lectures indicate when smart meters, cell towers and small cells go in, the number ofcases they see of microwave sickness increases dramatically. We are simply not built to be immersed in electropollution.
Let's Learn Together
I invite all to join us for a free public education webinar to learn the science, risks and most importantly, safe technology solutions. Together with New
Hampshire for Safe Technology, we are holding public forums twice a month and all are welcome to attend, or to watch an earlier recording. You'll find myslides with links to the facts in the description of each video. This is appropriate for you, your colleagues -- and your loved ones to learn together:
https://www.ma4safetech.org/events

Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can provide any additional information. In the meantime, please refrain from approving toxic utility meter infrastructure.
Insist your industry partners come to the table with you and develop safe, sustainable energy solutions. They can, and will, if given a nudge.
In the words of retired Microsoft Canada President Frank Clegg to the New Hampshire legislature, "Wireless technology is no longer the preferred technology forcommunications. There are an insignificant number of applications that truly require a wireless connection. The majority of communications’ applications canbenefit from the advantages of a wired connection."

EMF Conference for Health Practitioners... sent from a hard-wired computer :-)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------From Understanding EMFs, Utility "Smart" Meters"Smart" meters are the gas, electric, water, propane and solar utility meters being put on homes to replace the old analog meters("smart" being a marketing term used by industry to psychologically steer consumers to adopt these devices -- inferring "smart" is a good
choice).
If the gas, electric and water meter(s) on your home no longer have the little dials that spin around but now have a digital display, youhave a digital or smart meter -- and the industry now has some newer units made to look like the older ones with dials, but that also
emit microwave radiation using digital technology. If there is an FCC ID number somewhere on the face of the meter, then the device istransmitting data using wireless radiation.
Some communities converted to digital meters so they no longer have to pay workers to walk from house to house doing monthly
meter readings. They can have an employee do a drive-by instead, aiming their data reader from the street at your meter to track yourusage. In communities that have gone on the "smart grid", the drive-by readings are eliminated and the data is sent via wirelessradiation to the utility company. From a business model, this makes sense for cost saves.
As cost-saving as this is, the smart meters emit high amounts of wi-fi radiation 24/7 and it goes through the walls and into our homes,
schools and businesses. Where housing units are close together, multitudes of meters are mounted in a bank where radiation exposurecompounds.
In some systems, the digital data collected from the "smart" meters travels from house to house in a grid, compounding as it goes sothat houses further down the line are getting radiation exposure exponentially. The data goes to a transfer station which sends it to athird-party analyst who may sell your usage data to smart appliance and other manufacturers. Some see this as an invasion of privacy.
Since the data is sent via wireless signals, there are no secure wires to protect your data and it is therefore far easier to hack into.
Criminals could identify your patterns and know when the way is clear to break into your homes and businesses. Further, from anational security standpoint, undesirables could readily shut down the entire grid leaving us vulnerable and stranded in the dark
without water, gas or electricity.
Our bodies need a break from the wi-fi radiation we are constantly bathed in. If the smart meters and other devices are emitting
radiation 24/7, it can be harmful to our cells, disrupt our circadian rhythm, and impair the required cell repair and regeneration while
we sleep that otherwise keeps us healthy. The result is a toxic build-up that shows up sooner rather than later in some as behavioral
problems that look like ADD or Autism, sleep disruption, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, nosebleeds, skin rashes/flushing andmore. The long-term accumulative effects may include cancers, infertility, genotoxicity, neurotoxicity and more. See the Science page.

https://www.enmax.com/services/meter-services/meter-reading/submit-a-meter-reading
Smart meters and faulty wiring can cause dirty electricity in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range. The major cause of ELF magnetic
fields are wiring violations of the electric code. There are 3 wires for electricity: hot, neutral, and ground. The neutral and groundshould only be connected where the electricity enters a building. This means the current in the hot and neutral wires are the same but
flowing in an opposite direction. If this is the case there is zero ELF magnetic fields (+1 ampere, plus -1 ampere equals zero amperes andthus zero ELF magnetic fields).
An all too common problem (and violation of the National Electric Code [NEC]) is the neutral and ground wires are connected together
within a building. This means that an ELF magnetic fields will exist because the current in the hot and neutral wires are no longer equal.

While I support the smart grid and corresponding need for near real-time consumption data I oppose
the increase of meter complexity because of the following concerns:- EMF intensity required to communicate between meters- inability of customers to opt out of EMF exposure for consumers, domestic and wild animals- computing vulnerability of meters- power consumption- fire risks
Cellular or WIFI connectivity is enough to report electricity usage. Consumers with WIFI at home can
opt-in to connect meters to their network instead of cellular or municipal WIFI. Buildings may offer
wired connectivity.

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
I am writing to respectfully request that you NOT ALLOW SMART METERS in New Mexico.
After a smart meter was installed in my home in NC, I began having severe headaches anddizziness the very next week, and absence episodes which later were diagnosed as temporal
lobe seizures. My bed happened to be about 8 feet away from the meter, on the other side of
the wall. Of course the radiation goes right through the wall, but I didn't know this at the time.
After about a year of exhaustive medical workups including MRIs, nerve conduction studies,
infectious disease workups, mold testing, allergy testing, hematology workups, rheumatology
workups, etc, nothing helped. I had to go on medical leave from my 18-year career indevelopmental epidemiology.
The health issues didn't stop and the constant severe headaches and absence seizures made me
fear that perhaps I was dying, until I went camping one week and it all lifted.
I finally learned about smart meters through a support group member, and also learned that mynext door neighbor's headaches had begun at the same time mine had, and my elderly
neighbor across the street had begun falling repeatedly the very month immediately after ourheadaches began. In desperation I decided to sign a short-term lease to move to a remote andrural community in NC where I could pay a fee to keep my analog meter. I was not terribly
optimistic which is why I was stunned at the change in my health. It was truly shocking. I never
had another seizure and have been about 80% headache-free upon moving to the new house. I*only* have severe headaches now when visiting family with smart meters on their houses. I also
get milder headaches when going inside any place of business where there are smart meters,
which unfortunately includes grocery stores, banks, government buildings, etc -- but thankfully I
don't have to sleep there so my headaches don't escalate to be terribly severe unless I sleep
away from home where there is a smart meter.
Please also consider the environmental impact of these meters. At my old house with the smart
meter, the frogs disappeared the very summer after the smart meter went in. We used to havehundreds of tiny frogs every summer, without fail, due to a creek behind the back yard, andthey actually disappeared. It was very noticeable because you would always see tiny frogs
jumping out across the path as you walked, and that summer after the meter went in and I was
so sick, the frogs never showed up. This was another tip that something was very wrong in ourhome and in our yard, and that it extended outside the house, not just inside. Also the smaller
species of birds disappeared. This sounds dramatic, but I am not exaggerating. People on theneighborhood ap "Nextdoor" are asking "why are there so many vultures?" "Where have thesparrows gone?" If you say, the smart meters killed them, you sound like a crazy person. But if,
like me, you had felt the headaches and the seizures, the sudden onset after the smart meterscame in, the sudden disappearance when I moved, you would believe. Or if you read actual peer
reviewed medical journals and studies not funded by industry, you would believe. At first we
didn't believed it -- we said it must be pesticides killing the birds and frogs, or mold, or someillness that all animals can catch from one another. We were devastated because we used tohave about 15-20 house sparrows each summer and they disappeared 100 percent. We wentaround asking neighbors if they'd used pesticides etc and nothing had changed. Except themeters. Before the meters, we would see huge flocks of starlings in the neighborhood
sometimes and they are 100 percent gone. We have also seen squirrels acting strangely laying
down near the meters. I never saw a squirrel "resting" right on my porch until the meter went in.
I don't think these squirrels are suddenly tame and suddenly laying down "resting" a lot. They
seem to be panting and they seem to be sick. We have vacated. The wildlife have either died orare sick.
Please do not allow smart meters in your beautiful state.
Please consider the health of your citizens, as well as the wildlife, and block the utility
companies from forcing smart meters on your towns and cities.
We need some heroes in America today.
Please be brave and stand up against this type of assault.
Sincerely,

Dear PRC- PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW SMART METERS TO COME TO NM. THIS IS A HUGE EXPENSE AND
AND EVEN LARGER EXPENSE TO EVERYONE’S HEALTH. THESE SMART METERS RELEASE VASTQUANTITIES OF EMF AND THERE IS NO WAY PNM CAN PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THESE ELECTRICMAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH JUST ADD TO ALL THE OTHER EMF POLLUTION WHICH IS OUT THERE WITH
CELL TOWERS AND CELL PHONES ETC. ETC. EMF POLLUTION IS ALREADY A PROBLEM FOR MANY OF
US IN TERMS OF OUR HEALTH/BIORHYTHMS. PNM NEEDS TO DO SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THE ILL
EFFECTS EMF S HAVE ON THE WHOLE POPULATION’S HEALTH.
THERE IS NO NEED FOR SMART METERS.

Dear Sirs
I applaud the fact that you have to date banned the installation of smart meters in New Mexico. Whatcourage and vision you have had to choose to differ from prevailing fashion and to stand up to thepressure from technology's commercial interest for the sake of your citizens!
I am sure that a thousand means have been employed to belittle and ridicule you. I am sure that you
have had to ask yourselves, again, and again, whether you have made the right decision on behalf of
those whom you serve. I am sure that you have had to make decisions on matters where you could
not have a profound understanding of them without years of study: which must leave room for doubt
in your minds about what you have done. All the greater then, your courage to run against the tide ofcommercial interest.
I applaud your strength of purpose and hope that it will not weaken in the face of new and pressured
requests for permission to install smart meters.
Whilst damage from smart meters (and so many other devices which operate using radio-waves, ofvarying length) is held, by those with a vested interest in their use, to do no harm, there is a great dealof evidence to suggest otherwise. Many say that the evidence of harm is irrefutable. It is certain that
disturbing reports of harm, from all over the world, are multiplying - and with them comes great
tragedy.
Until the potential for harm has been fully and absolutely dismissed by impartial researchers, it must
be wise, very wise, to reject the use of smart meters. What is to be lost by doing so? Convenientaccounting for large and wealthy companies, I suggest.
What is to be gained by rejecting the use of smart meters? The protection of the human beings withinyour region: the protection of their health from insidious harm. The protection, too, of the natural
world, upon which each and everyone of us depends.
Which is the more important to you? The health of your people, over generations, or the health of a
private company's bank balance? I am sure you know in your hearts which the choice should be.
Please don't give in to pressure to think otherwise.
May you have the courage to make New Mexico a haven from the drive to radio-blitz our world.
Though I am not one of your citizens, but one from the United Kingdom, I shall be glad and grateful if
you do so.
Yours faithfully

Mexico PRC,
I'm writing to you as I recently found out you're considering fitting smart meters in New Mexico state. I'dlike to suggest it's a bad idea for many reasons, mainly damage to customers’ health and theenvironment. Also, smart meters consume energy, emit radiation and cause all the wiring in your home
to emit radiation, they cause fires and explosions, they are hackable, invade your privacy and areinaccurate. There's lots of literature backed by the research available to provide evidence, which I'm
happy to provide on request.
I strongly believe you'll be able to prioritise New Mexico residents' health and environment in making
your decision.

Kind regards

Greetings, members of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
Because of Fibromalgia, I have a depressed immune system and am very sensitive. I haveconcerns that my health would suffer even more with the radiation of "smart" meters, and the
additional radiation they would cause the wiring of my home to emit.
I am even more concerned about the potential damage to the health of the animal, bird, plantand insect life.
I am concerned about the potential of these meters to cause fires that would put the lives andbelongings of people at risk.
Being disabled I live only on my Social Security Disability payments, so I am concerned about
how the inaccuracies of "smart" meters could negatively affect my utility bills, and the bills of somany other low income people.
PLEASE do not allow "smart" meters to be placed anywhere in New Mexico!
Please help us keep New Mexico a refuge of lower radiation!
Thank you so much,

Dear members of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,

I write to you to explain the troubles caused by smart meters on the French
population.
I refused the installation of a Linky meter a few years ago as it was possible
for me because my meter is inside my house. It is the case for 50% ofelectricity meters in France. So the people whose meter was outside thehouse were not as lucky as me.
I have been suffering from electrohypersensitivity (EHS) for ten years now as
I was diagnosed by a French professor of medecine named Pr BELPOMME.
After celebrating New Year 2022 together with very close friends, on thesecond of January 2022 the Linky smart meter was installed in their houseand I felt immediately bad with headaches and dizziness.
On the next night I couldn't sleep in their friends' bedroom, where I used tosleepvery well because I had a headache specific to electric exposure withnevralgy of the brain.
On the next night I had the idea of putting the bed in the middle of the roomand my headache was less severe so I could sleep although I was not as well
as before the Linky installation.
In July I had the same bad experience in my sister's house because of theLinky stupid smart meter !
The electricity runs along the cables allover the place to transport the
information analyzed and sent by the Linky.
I can imagine the suffering of people who can't put their bed in the middle of
the room ! and also the suffering of patients and babies in hospitals and inhomes for the elderly !
So please take the exposure of millions of people to electric magnetic fields
into account and avoid this new health disaster in your state ! I am surevoters will remember that decision in the future elections...
With my best regards
Ms Dominique ROY, France

Dear New Mexico Public Relation Commission,
Please do NOT install Smart Meters anywhere.
Here are the following reasons:
1. They are a financial loss. You must pay for the new meters
gauranteed between 3 and 5 years max. Then you must pay for thesoftware and network to go with it. Just like your I-phone, thehardware and software are upgraded every three years forcing you
to pay more money. A dumb glass analytic meter lasts at least
60 years without service. The only service that is required isa simple recalibration which can easily be done. You can notrecalibrate a Smart Meter. It usually winds up as E-waste in theland fill. Note, you do not need any software to read a Smart
Meter, just a pair of eyes. You can even send a photo taken
once a month through the internet. And lastly it is always
good to give people a healthy job walking around in thebeautiful state of New Mexico reading meters.
2. Smart Meters operate at 2.6 Gigaherz putting out the same
EMF field as a microwave oven or cell phone. We do not wantto irradiate the children, families and animals there. After
Smart Meters are installed there have been massive dieoffs ofBirds and Bees. My neighbor installed the Smart Meter and 5 days
later her young healthy cat died. Smart Meters also interferewith people who have pacemakers like Microwave ovens. You do
not want to go near them. Their EMF radiation/signals messes
up the programmed pacemaker.
3. There is a huge fire danger from Smart Meters. Remember
they run at microwave frequency and are thus little microwave
ovens waiting to burst into flames. They are always on andpulsing every 7 seconds talking to the main Relay meter, saying"Are you there?" and getting back a signal to verify there
presence. This is known as Enq/Ack Enquire Acknowledge in thecomputer world.
4. Lastly Smart Meters take between 2 and 5 percent of the incoming
current just to run them. Plus all the extra electicity for therelay house collectors and the network of Smart Meters. In thistime of climate emergency, why would we do this.
Please do not let stupidity reign supreme.
Please do the ecological thing. If you have spare money,
New Mexico has 300 solar days a year among the best in theentire country. Subsidize photovoltaics on roofs instead.
You will not need to replace them every three years or set
up a complicated network.

Dear Sirs,
I write in connection with PNM’s new application to instal Smart meters.
May I offer my personal experience in this matter here in the UK: I do not have a Smart Meter installedat my property. I have been involved with friends and family in monitoring these new devices. With nodifferential, the smart meters emit EMF that is damaging to personal health. Several people that I know
have required the installer to remove so-called smart meters and replace with conventional meters thatare relatively harmless. I know that several people have definitely been negatively affected after
installation of these meters. Further, many of us are aware that these meters actually impact electricity
bills through additional price increase to recover costs and incorrect readings.
I have also taken a much wide interest in the matter of EMF and 5G. It is a fact that 4G / EMF has had agreat negative effect on Human, Bird, Animal and Insect life. This is not acceptable.
I hope that you will reconsider allowing these not- so- smart meters in New Mexico.
Thank you for reading my communication.

Hello. I would like to lend my support for New Mexican consumers’ right to opt out of harmful smart
meters. I live in Ohio, and my town is making a similar push to switch out all the old meters for smart
meters (my family has opted out, and we will see what happens when push comes to shove in 2023). It
is a crime not to warn the public of the huge harm these devices cause, but no one would want them
if power companies did warn the public, of course. Smart meters are dangerous, a breach of privacy,
and one more cog in the smart city hellscape that citizens have every right to say no to.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren

Meine Frau ist hoch elektrosensibel ,aus diesem Grund sind wir 2016 von Deutschland nach
Bulgarien ausgewandert.
Dort haben wir in einem Dorf ,in dem es kaum Elektrosmog gab ein Haus gekauft um leben zu
können.
Im Jahre 2021 wurde bei uns eine elektronische Wasseruhr (Smartmeter) eingebaut ,die 24
Stunden am Tag ( 8 mal pro Minute ) ein hochfrequenten Impuls sendet.
Am selben Tag ging es meiner Frau sehr schlecht .sie bekam Herzrythmusstörungen ,sehr
hohen Blutdruck und fiel in Ohnmacht.Wir erklärten dies den Wasserbetreiber,und baten ihn diesen Zähler wieder zu entfernen.Unserer Bitte wurde nicht entsprochen.Meine
Frau konnte unser Haus nicht mehr betreten.Wir haben dann selbst eine geeichte
analoge Wasseruhr eingebaut ,was uns sehr viel Ärger einbrachte ,( Strafe bezahlen,Polizeiverhörusw.) Der Wasserbetreiber teilte uns mit ,das bis 2024 nach EU- Vorschrift die
Smartmeter eingebaut werden müssen. Dort im Dorf wo diese Smartmeter eingebaut wurden
haben die Anwohner ebenfalls sehr viele gesundheitliche Probleme ,obwohl diese nicht
elektrosensibel sind. Sie können Nachts nicht schlafen, haben Blutdruckschwankungen ,hohen
Puls ,Nasenbluten ,Kopf und Gelenkschmerzen.
Bitte bedenken Sie ,das dadurch viele Menschen zu Schaden kommen. Warum wird dies derBevölkerung angetan ,obwohl die gesundheitlichen Gefahren bekannt sind ?
Ich fühle mich machtlos ,muss sehen wie meine Frau leidet und bitte Sie den Einbau dieser
Smartmeter zu verhindern ,um nicht nur Meine Frau, sondern auch andere
Menschen zu schützen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Rainer Grobe

Hello,
My name is Susan Peters. I live in New York City (240 West 98th St. 5C). Con Edison is myutility electricity/gas provider. I was given an opt-out option to the smart meter deployment,
which I took. I pay $9.50 each month to Con Edison to keep my analog gas meter (in mykitchen) and my analog electricity meter (in the basement of my apartment building).
I am so glad not to be radiated in my home with radio-frequency radiation. I have studied foryears the health issues, that are ignored by the FCC. These health effects are very very real.
So many scientific investigations have proved it. I will just point to one source of thisinformation: from the Legislative branch of the state government of New Hampshire.
Final Report on Commission to Study theEnvironmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology
November 1, 2020
This report was approved by the majority vote of the Commission. It references many studies
on the deleterious health effects of electro-magnetic radiation.
One last point. The superintendent of my building is well aware of the health effects of thesesmart meters. And he was faced with having 100 of the electrical smart meters on one walloutside his office in the basement. He was very distressed for his health.
Sincerely,
Susan Peters

I DO NOT WANT SMART METERS
Dear PNM,
My name is Joanne Marie and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I live at Echo Ridge Apartments
which is a Cooperative.
In 2018 over 100 members of Echo Ridge signed a petition objecting to Smart Meters. Due towidespread protest in New Mexico, PNM's application was denied. In 2020, PNM applied again andwas denied a second time. Now, in 2022, PNM has applied a third time. Because Echo Ridge members
overwhelmingly objected to Smart Meters in 2018, and because of the time for public comment on
the current application is very short, I am submitting my objection to the smart meters to you now for
the following reasons:
1. Smart Meters cause health issues. See https://bioinitiative.org/conclusions/
2. Smart Meters can overheat and burst into flames, causing a fire.
3. Smart Meters communicate via Wi-Fi to a communication network. Wi-Fi can be hacked.
4. Smart Meters cause dirty electricity to flow through your home's wiring.
5. Smart Meters violate Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing data of private
personal activities and behaviors without your consent or knowledge.
6. Smart meters are inaccurate and raise your electric bills.
7. PNM will charge a monthly fee if a homeowner refuses the smart meters.
In physics, electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of the electromagnetic field (EMF), which
propagate through space and carry electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves,microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and Gamma rays. All of these waves form part of theelectromagnetic spectrum. Many scientific papers have been published showing the harmful effects of
EMFs on humans, animals & the environment.
If smart meters are allowed in Albuquerque you will be exposed to EMFs when you go to the store,
post office, bank, library, school, doctor's office, and basically everywhere.
Those most vulnerable to emfs are babies, children the elderly and those who already have healthproblems. Overtime, healthy people can also be affected.

Thank you for your time. Respectfully yours,
Joanne Marie

Sounds like a money maker for PNM at the public's expense. In addition, there seems to be
privacy issues with the smart meters. PNM should be working on investing in renewableenergy instead. I vote no to having smart meters installed.

New Mexico Public Relations Committee,
I am writing to ask that you keep the state of New Mexico free of smart meters. I commend you forkeeping your state smart meters free thus far.
I live in California, where several smart meters have been installed on my home. EMF’s are very
difficult for me, effecting my brain and general health. I had a hybrid car and needed to get rid of as
my health declined significantly. Fortunately I was able to regain much of my health after getting rid ofit.
Smart meters are detrimental to all life, humans and animals alike. I implore you to not allow them inyour state.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hello folks
I would love to hear that New Mexico will be kept free of smart meters.
I spent some time in New Mexico a few years ago and loved it. I am glad you are keeping it smart meter free.
I have managed to have a smart meter free home, but when I go and stay at other places where they have smart
meters I generally do not sleep as well.
I had a builder working on my house awhile ago and his 7 year old son was not sleeping and kept having headaches
for some unknown reason. I asked him about a smart meter in his house and he said it was through the wall fromhis son's bed. They moved their son to the other side of the house to sleep and he stopped having headaches andwas sleeping well.
I have also heard of at least one house fire caused by a smart meter.
Also I have seen a huge reduction in the number of insects around the place in my garden and others have reported
it too. My mother's friend who is nearly 90 and is still an avid gardener and has had a gardening business for many
years keeps telling me of the many insects he does not see anymore or sees a much reduced population of them. He
has seen a sharp decline in insects over the last few years, since smart meters have been introduced to properties.
He has also seen a decline in hedgehogs and other wildlife too.
Please do act in a courageous way to continue to make a stand for our planet and for all living creatures on it.
Thank you very much
Kind regards

I’ve never been afraid of much but these Smart Meters honestly scare me enough to want them nowhere nearme! I already suffer with physical problems and I certainly don’t need or want anymore! I would rather spend
whatever time I have left on earth enjoying my old age not worried about the dirty electricity running through thewiring in my home, I can only imagine how much more I’d suffer with panic attacks!!!
In all the information I have read about these meters I can’t understand how anyone in their right mind would
want to actually use these things. The information I’ve read reads like a horror novel.
Since I can’t find anything good to say about these Smart Meters, I’ll end this now.

Dear Madam,
Don't let BIG POWER snooker you. It's almost guaranteed. If it's good for them, it's not good for you. BIG POWER'S
interest is in MAKING MONEY. They don't care about your health or the health of the planet. Stay the course. SAY
NO TO SMART METERS!
We bought our house in San Diego in 2018. A smart meter was installed on the house. There was no life in the yard.
The dirt in the yard was dead, There were no insects, no bees, no butterflies, no birds. It was weird. I called San
Diego Gas and electric and asked them to remove the smart meter which they did. My wife started growing flowers
and food plants using organic methods and no chemicals. Pretty soon we had lots of alive activity, earthworms in thesoil, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, spiders, and other creatures, and healthy plants producing food. Give the planeta chance and it will be good to you.
Salute New Mexico and its push back against smart meters. It sounds like New Mexicans are conscious and deciding
what is good for them as opposed to what is good for the power companies. SAY NO, NO, NO TO SMART
METERS!!!!

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission:
Please do not allow 5G Smart Meters to be deployed in your beautiful state! Here are just a
few reasons:
1. Smart Meters have NEVER been proven to be safe for human use andexposure. https://bioinitiative.org/table-of-contents/ In particular 5G Smart Meters
may be even more dangerous than earlier Smart Meter versions and have neverbeen tested to be safe.
2. Smart Meters catch on fire and explode more easily. The high levels of dirty

electricity emitted from these devices is also dangerous.
https://stopsmartmeters.org/ Please see these pictures of Smart Meter fires:

https://www.google.com/search?q=smart+meter+fires&client=firefox-b-1d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjU3tX36977AhUOGTQIHZI6DnkQ_AUoA
noECAMQBA&biw=1264&bih=566&dpr=1.25
3. About 5% of the population is electro-sensitive and will experience thefollowing symptoms associated with new Smart Meter installations, which include
dizziness, headaches, heart palpitations, anxiety, and sleep problems. Continued
long-term exposure can lead to a host of long-term physical, emotional, andcognitive health problems. https://www.takebackyourpower.net/research/
Therefore, there should be full informed consent for consumers before these newdevices are installed in front of homes.

4. Smart Meters are components of the Internet of Things, IoT, a Microwave

Smart Grid system (Agenda 21/Agenda 2030), designed to integrate humanity intoa central control and surveillance system. This is a violation of our 4th Amendment,
constitutional right to privacy. Many researchers are now coming out with evidence
that this type of microwave radiation is able to negatively activate the covid vaccine
ingredients that have been injected into the populations.
https://rumble.com/v1puxz8-irrefutable-proof-of-self-assembly-structures-in-c19shots-structures-assem.html

5. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), recently lost a historic

lawsuit for its outdated, inadequate, and fraudulent microwave safety
guidelines. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit published its decision on
Aug. 13, 2021. While Utilities claim that they are following the guidelines set forth
by the FCC, we are informed that the courts have ruled against the FCC for its
negligent and inadequate safety guidelines which have not protected the public

from harm. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/chd-wins-case-fcc-safetyguidelines-5g-wireless/Please take the above points into consideration in your assessment of the application for 5G
Smart Meters. Protection of the health and protection of the privacy rights of consumers are themost important criteria and your constituents and citizens will Thank You for your diligent workand service.

Dear PRC,
I am writing today to ask you to not require smart meters in New Mexico’s towns, cities and rural areas. I live inTaos and we were able to negotiate a RF Smart Meter opt out with Kit Carson Electric Coop. It is a “paid” opt out
though, and we would like to see a free RF smart meter option available state wide. People should not have to pay
to not be harmed. We have noticed our friends, family and neighbors who had the RF Smart Meters put on theirhomes, almost always without their knowledge or permission, having a wide array of negative effects, including
heart irregularity, ear ringing, hair loss, cancer and insomnia. One of our friends who had an RF meter on his
house had a stroke, with no previous health problems and at a young age. These negative effects were observedin 2018 and 2019.
We had a business location where we were unable to opt out from the RF smart meter. We noticed agitation,
irritability, depression, head aches, ear ringing and other symptoms from ourselves and our employees while in
the work space. These symptoms would mostly disappear when we would go home / left the work space. We
brought an EMF/RF meter to check the exposure in our work space and it was astronomically high, way beyond
safe or acceptable levels. We ended up moving to new location where we currently do not have to be exposed to
RF smart meters. All of the symptoms have disappeared for us and our team. The detrimental exposure also
impacts the environment, insects, bird populations, plant life etc. negatively as well.
Thank you for not requiring RF smart meters for households and businesses for those who cannot tolerate suchhigh RF levels, and ideally, let's work to keep this incredibly toxic technology out of New Mexico altogether.

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
Thank you for receiving comments about your consideration of smart meters.
I implore you not to grant smart meters in your beautiful communities. The federal government commissioned alarge study of such energies some time ago, and even then, the results overwhelmingly showed harm to people andall living things. Not a little harm, but very serious harm.
Personally, I have been seriously harmed by smart meters. Until I researched the matter, I could not understand
why I had such fragmented sleep, and would wake with severe tachycardia. I thought my heart would beat out of
my chest. There was not sleep and no ability to function well in the morning after that.
After weeks of such disturbance to sleep, I was having difficulty functioning at work and just in general, the brain
fog was so disruptive. Finally, research unfolded the potential for the pulsing of unhealthy electromagnetic energy
from smart meters. I looked and found the place I had moved to had a smart meter outside the bedroom wall.
I purchased a smart meter cover and was finally able to sleep. Surely such pulsing unhealthy frequencies aredamaging to the heart over time. They are certainly highly disruptive to my body.
When I stay at other people's homes (I am a live-in caregiver) the same thing happens if I am in the room where thesmart meter(s) are near, especially at night. I now carry the two smart meter covers with me to help mitigate someof the damage. The covers can't shield us entirely or they wouldn't work.
Just as an additional confirmation, a friend came to stay in the bedroom across the hall from me with her roomnear the same smart meter, located right where the two bedrooms meet. One night we both awoke having slept
very poorly. I asked if her heart was racing. She said it was and that hasn't happened before. I looked at the smart
meter and someone had pulled the cover down. When I put the cover back on, we slept reasonably well after that.
Additionally, since the smart meter installation in this home and elsewhere, I have noticed here and other places I
am familiar with that there are far fewer songbirds, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks and frogs than previously.
There is a neighbor who asked me why she thought she would feel unwell when working for hours in a particularroom in her house. She also noted that any plants she put in that room died, where they had been thriving in otherrooms. I looked and saw there was a smart meter directly on the other side of the wall of that room where she sat,and a neighbor's smart meter pointing at fairly close proximity to that room. Double the trouble.
Nobody I've asked has said their energy bills have decreased, but instead have increased since a smart meter was
installed.
One home I worked in as a caregiver was so charged with smart meters and smart devices that I couldn't work wellthere until we put covers on the meters and shut down the "smart" features of items in this small home. The manin the home had MS that got progressively worse, and I, until we took measures to greatly reduce the EMFs, would
absolutely crash for 3 hours in the afternoon - completely uncharacteristic for me.
Please, please do not allow smart meters in your communities. There is absolutely no need for them and they arevery harmful to life. If you care about the people in your communities, you will also stand against the installationof 5G - another health nightmare that is completely unnecessary and extremely harmful. Wired connections to theinternet are still faster via a wired modem connection. The idea that we need 5G for faster downloads ignores thefastest system still.
I pray you will, in good conscience, say no to smart meters.
Thank you!

To Whom This May Concern,
My name is Alexander Langella. I have been an Albuquerque, NM resident since 2017, and prior tothat a Santa Fe, NM resident from 1997 through to 2017. I am writing in lieu of PNM's recent push to
apply for Smart Meters for a 3rd time since 2018.
I do NOT want Smart Meters in New Mexico. There is ample research that suggests potential healthhazards from the constant pulses of RF pulses, including desynchronization of medical devices likepacemakers. Continued independent research has only shown danger and potential health issues forlong term exposure, and testing has shown the pulses from the system travel throughout the electricalwiring in the house, generating the same bandwidth radiation everywhere rather than just at themeter itself. So anyone who is highly sensitive to EMF radiation cannot escape those pulses bymoving further into the house, away from the meter.
This is just one of several groups cataloging the research into Smart Meters:
https://mdsafetech.org/smart-meters/
Current digital meters are more than adequate, and allow for ground-based pulses that PNM can use
to pick up meter readings from a car parked as far as 30ft away, if they need to. They have 2
independent grounding rods, one for ground, the other to transmit meter data into the ground should
PNM choose to use this method to avoid having to visually read the meter.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Alexander Langella

Dear New Mexico PRC,
Please enter this comment into the public record for Case No. 22-00058-UT.
Thank you for refusing smart meters in the past. Please hold steady on this resolve today.
Niels Bohr introduced the world to Atomic Theory in 1913. Over 100 years later it boggles the mind that artificially highlevels of ambient radiation are being deployed in our homes and neighborhoods as if it was some kind of good idea.
This can only be due to the abysmal state of science education today, in this country, even in the best schools.
That the Business Case for Wireless smart meters could have gotten as far as it has is testament to the abysmal stateof even our best business schools. The loans that fractionated banking issue today don't become real GDP until
someone deposits it as a paycheck and spends it on food to feed their family and shoes for their children's feet.
Everything else is just TV.
That the Privacy Issues associated with the deployment of today's Smart Meters have gone so unchallenged is
testament to how little influence the Constitution of the United States, and the values that are enshrined in it, has in
the country allegedly founded on them.
Enough of this haste makes waste scenario.
Fiber is coming. The new grid is coming. We need to stop throwing good money after bad and focus instead on
making our next new grid the best that it can be.
We can do better than this!

Please do not allow smart meters in New Mexico. This PNM project could be harmful to humanhealth, as I have learned from experience.
I was relocated from New Mexico to southern California briefly in 2019-2020. I had no historyof heart problems, but upon moving into a house in a development in San Diego County, I was
jolted awake every night, feeling like what it would be like to be hit with defibrillator paddles.
Once awake, my heart would alternate between pounding, racing, and skipping beats for the
rest of the night, and I would shake for hours. I also developed eye issues -- my eyes burned
and were red and swollen. Each day I would feel better when I left our house, but each nightthe horrible symptoms would return. It was terrifying and exhausting.
I found that I felt somewhat better in our kitchen, which happened to be the room farthest frommy bedroom. We hired an inspector who tested our house for RF/EMF radiation and found thatthe high readings were not coming from our property (we had an analog meter), but from ourneighbor's house. It so happened that her meter directly faced our bedrooms, which wasconsistent with my symptoms.
We asked our neighbor if she would be willing to swap out her meter for an analog one at our
expense, but she refused. So I spent much of my time in California driving back to New Mexico
just to get a break from the health effects of her meter. Finally, in September 2020 I returned to
New Mexico for good, and I have not had those heart symptoms here.
I would not want anyone else to have the horrible experience I endured, and this PNM project
could put many people in harm's way. For human health reasons I oppose the installation ofsmart meters in New Mexico.

Arlene Griffin

installed MW-RFR (micro-wave radio frequency radiation) radiating smartmeters installed in myremote neighborhood in western NC. This area did not have smart meters when I moved here, and theenergy company, Duke Energy, assured me they would not be installing smart meters, so I chose to
move here solely on that statement.
I have been forced from 3 previous home locations because of smartmeter installations.
The new smart meters here in NC, were first installed in May of this year- 2022, and more meters were
installed in October 2022.
It is now going to be ME or the SmartMeters. We can not co-exist.
My heart rate has become dangerously high, my body temperature can not regulate, I experience
constant vibrating in my torso and in my legs, my brain function has deteriorated and I can not sleep
at all. This physical response to the newly installed smartmeters is life-threatening to me.
There has been more than enough research and scientific evidence to corroborate my reactions tosmartmeters.
Please protect people from this deleterious and debilitating and unnecessary technology.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Dickerson

I am writing as a Senior Citizen to ask that you DO NOT PROPOSE to install Smart Meters.
With the economy in shambles - recovering from COVID-19 and the daily onslaught of restrictions andcost of living rise - this would further destroy the fabric of our community and State.
You would do better to take better care of the people here in Albuquerque that are struggling.

To whom it concerns,
The smart thing to do about Smart Meters is to never ever let them into your wonderful cities and homes to begin
with.
I lived in Lancaster CA on a cul-de-sac. I could not sleep. I could not think. My head was in pain. The list of ailments I
dealt with in my house is long. I had to leave my home in a camper to find somewhere I could sleep.
First I begged, then I paid monthly for them to change to an analog meter. I got a different meter but low and behold,the neighbors on each side of me had their Smart Meters on their garage that was too close to my house, and I had
the same health problems.
I had to move from my home I had for 30 years. I now live in the hills away from any towers and I have to drive anhour to get to any grocery store. So far I do not have a smart meter, and my health is much better.
Don't get smart meters. People like me need somewhere to go that is safe for them.

To: New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“PRC”) prc.records@prc.nm.gov
From: Peter Gustafson, J.D., Ph.D.
Re: Case Number 22-00058-UT
Date: December 4, 2022
SMART METERS AND THE SPECTER OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
For myself and on behalf of my fellow citizens, I ask that you vote against PNM’s
proposal to install “smart meters” in buildings across New Mexico.
A specter is quietly haunting our lives, but few of us recognize its presence. It iscalled electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by cell phones,
wireless internet equipment, laptop computers, and many other devices. Scientificstudies demonstrate that exposure can cause cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, DNAdamage, altered immune function, neurological diseases, fertility problems, insomnia,
and other ailments. The science on the subject is abundant. A summary can be found in
the BioInitiative Report, 2007, 2012, & 2014. www.bioinitiative.org. Electromagnetic
radiation nonetheless has the quality of a “specter,” a ghost-like apparition. One cannot
see it, feel it, hear it, taste it, or smell it. The harm that it can cause is seldom immediate.
The harm may take decades to develop.
As I understand it, the factual background of Case Number 22-00058-UT is asfollows. The PRC is reviewing a proposal by the Public Service Company of New
Mexico (“PNM”) to install “smart meters” in houses throughout New Mexico. A “smart
meter” delivers data on a customer’s power usage to the utility company. These would
replace traditional “analogue meters,” currently in use, that serve the same purpose.
Unlike an analogue meter, a smart meter uses wireless transmissions. Smart meters
operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They emit a continuous stream of electromagnetic
radiation.
I am no authority on electromagnetic radiation, but I have read four books on thesubject. Of these four, the best is Martin Blank, Overpowered: What Science Tells Us
about the Dangers of Cell Phones and Other WiFi-Age Devices (Seven Stories Press,
2014). Blank was a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics
at Columbia University. He retired in 2011 and he served as a lecturer at Columbia until
his death in 2018.
Professor Blank explains that in most places, people increasingly live in a literal"soup" of electromagnetic radiation on a continuous basis. (p. 10.) Cell phone users now
comprise "87% of the global population." (p. 41.) The radiation has "very serious publichealth risks." (p. 19.) Current safety standards are "fundamentally flawed." (p. 163.)
We should "significantly reduce" our exposure. (p. 187.) Past action to remedy similar
problems with contaminants such as asbestos has been worrisomely slow. (p. 154.) Partof the problem is that one "cannot see, touch, taste, or smell" electromagnetic radiation(p. 239) and its harmful consequences "can take decades to develop." (p. 9.)1

If smart meters are installed in New Mexico, homeowners should be notified of
the safety issues at hand. It would not, for example, be good to place a smart meter on awall adjacent to one’s bedroom, where one’s exposure would likely be at a maximum.
The PRC review procedure gives citizens a forum to present our concerns and toattempt to stop the advance of this technology. This is the rare occasion on which a
public review procedure is available. In most instances, the technology of wirelessemissions has advanced with little or no public discourse or review.
But most citizens are uninformed. The PRC is our trustee. The PRC has a duty toprotect our public interest in safety from electromagnetic radiation. If the public interest
is to be protected at all, the PRC is one of the only agencies capable of doing so.
The matter at hand transcends issues of medical science and goes to the core of
our identity as a political order. In recent decades, political scientists have observed theemergence of a phenomenon known as “postmodern power.” Postmodern power isboundless and de-centered. It pervades every aspect of life. It extends beyond the sphereof government and encompasses the economic and cultural spheres as well. Postmodern
power is exercised by everyone and no one. A “system” that has no particular name orface dominates. Sheldon Wolin, Politics and Vision: Continuity and Innovation inWestern Political Thought (Princeton University Press, 2004; pp. 575, 581-583);
Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted
Totalitarianism (Princeton University Press, 2008, pp. 139, 254-255, and passim).
In this case, the system is represented by PNM, a large, impersonal institution.
PNM demands conformity to the religion of technological advance and economic
efficiency. But it is hard to identify PNM as an evil oppressor. Like Walmart, Google,
or T-Mobile, PNM is just “doing its job” in a high-tech world. PNM does not seek toimpose its will. It just plays its part in a system of normalization. The source of
oppression is diffuse. It is hard to locate.
Postmodern power can seldom be confronted head-on. The best strategy ofresistance is often to disengage, to withdraw. To protect its citizens, New Mexico must
be wise enough to recognize the adversary and detach itself from the advance of thistechnology.

No smart meters in New Mexico.
My community, Montgomery County, MD outside of Washington, DC, has had a prolonged battle overthe number of cell towers being planned. The Montgomery County Council voted to allow them within
30 ft. of our houses, so radiation will spew out 24/7 and give many people cancer. I personally have
not had my health hurt but I have talked to and heard of many people who have been damaged. I
heard about one woman who can't live in any house or apartment because she is so damaged. She
lives in a trailer in the woods. I know others who decided to move out of Montgomery County becauseof this.
Cell towers and smart meters have affected the animal, bird, and insect life in other communities. See
this post from Sedona, AZ.

Smart meters affectbees, plants andpeopleMarianna Hartsong recounts what happened to her after the utility in SedonaArizona (APS) installed six “smart” meters on neighbors homes. Within a halfhour after smart meters were installed her normally docile bees swarmed anddive bombed at her.
As a permaculturist she notices other abnormal changes: unhealthy chicken
eggs; changes in laying patterns; broccoli plant abnormalities; and bee dieoff. She also had eye problems, and other health effects. APS, like manyother utilities in the US and beyond, are not listening.

A devistating situation has been brought
forward by the so called smart meter“deployment” (A milltary term now used by
the power companies.) So, we must defend
ourselves. One way that works is to get theneighbors and others to place shielding overtheir smart meters. They are available:lookon the internet’ You can buy them outright, or
make them yourself. They will stop over 95% radiation it installed properly. Get petitions
going use “people power”. Do not give up,
you are not alone!

There is a

that may be helpful to Marianna and others
concerned with protecting themselves in theirown homes. It was created by Oram Miller,
who is a Certified Building Biology
Environmental Consultant. If you go to thatsite and click on the ninth tab down on theleft side of the page, you can learn all about
his work on smart meters. He has many links
on the website where you can learn what to
do to your home to help you sleep better, etc.
He has a link
to http://www.lessemf.com where you canpurchase products. We installed window filmthat we purchasedfrom http://www.windowfilm.com (company
name: Concord Window Films out of
Danbury, CT). This company will send you
sample pieces of the film so you can decide
which film works for you before ordering. It
would be great if we could all move to thecommunities that have hard wired the smart
meters. WHY wasn’t it done like that tobegin with? All of this pain and misery that
all human beings, plants and animals are
feeling could have been prevented. I’m
shocked that Sedona sells itself to tourists as
the vortex center (a site where the energy ofan area is concentrated. Because Sedona as awhole is known to be a spiritual power spot,
a vortex site in Sedona is a place where one
can feel Sedona’s spiritual energy moststrongly) yet with this smart meter program
they are actually messing with the very
energy vortexes they lure tourists with.
CRAZY! Common sense tells you to hard
wire the meters, but COST must be
overriding common sense.

I applaud NM for having no smart meters and I hope you are able to keep it that way. People who are
EMF sensitive need a state that they can move to.

Smart meters emit electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) that make people ill. I have had personal
experience with this.
Smart Meters should not bellowed anywhere, for they poison the air and the homes wherever they are
installed.
Government is supposed to protect people from poisons and pollutants. EMFs are a recognizedenvironmental pollutant.
Smart meters must not be allowed in New Mexico.

Dear New Mexico PRC,
(sorry if my English is not very good)
Please do not install smart meters in New Mexico. Wireless radiation is not safe. I get severe symptoms
form wireless exposure. You can find attached 2 diagnosis from MDs about this condition. People
don't realize what this pollution does to them because they are all the time in it. It took me more than
2 years to understand why I was sick, and to understand I had to get away from it. People are sufferingfrom this pollution, please do not add to the level we already have.

To: New Mexico Public Regulation Commission
From: Jennifer Andree

5 Dec. 2022

To Whom It May Concern,
I am a victim of Smart Meter Radio-Frequency Radiation. I strongly suggest that New Mexico NOT install smart
meters. My exposure happened in New Mexico at Kirtland AFB.
Below, I am including my declaration which details what happened to me. My declaration is included in a petition
that was sent to the FDA and HHS.
Keep New Mexico safe! Do not allow smart meters to be installed!!
Respectfully,
Jennifer Andree

My name is Jennifer Andree, and I write this declaration in support of an effort to have the Federal Foodand Drug Administration fulfill its responsibility to document and promulgate a set of health-based
standards for electronic devices, including smart meters. The lack of science- based standards andconsideration of effects of radio-frequency radiation at non-thermal levels has led to a series of events
that has completely devastated my life, and the lives of countless other Americans.
I am a wife, mother, nurse, veteran and a victim of exposure to smart meter radio frequency (RF)radiation. My official diagnosis is “Overexposure to Microwave Radiation.” My husband Saniford and I
and our son occupied a rental unit on a military installation where the smart meter RF exposure occurred.
Saniford dedicated 30+ years of his life serving in the United States Air Force and continues to serve as a
DOD civilian employee. I am making this declaration because I do not want others to suffer thecatastrophic, disabling injuries I have sustained due to the lack of official health-based guidelines andregulations governing EMF/RF radiation emitting devices.
It is important to call to your attention to my diagnosis of “Overexposure to Microwave Radiation,” andhighlight the fact that my symptoms and physical ailments parallel the “Havana Syndrome.” I do notclaim to be a victim of a microwave emitting weapon. I do claim and have documented evidence that the
microwave radiation emitted by the smart meters opposite my bedroom wall caused my healthdeterioration and subsequent diagnosis of “Overexposure to Microwave Radiation,” which is also known
as “Microwave Syndrome.”
Before my exposure to smart meter RF radiation, I was a very happy, healthy, active person, frequently
traveling to see family and friends. I can no longer say these things about myself. I now live a very
isolated life. For three and one half months, when I went to bed at night, my head was situatedapproximately one foot away on the other side of a wall from an electrical panel containing two electric
smart meters. That regular nightly RF smart meter radiation exposure, the source of which I was unawareat the time, caused me horrific and disabling symptoms. Once I found out the source of my healthproblems, I immediately moved out of the bedroom, and eventually moved out of the rental unit;
however, constant head and neck pain, dizziness, and episodes of vertigo are just a few of the symptoms
that plagued me.

Due to the smart meter RF radiation exposure, I developed Extreme ElectroHypersensitivity (EHS) andChemical Sensitivity. Anything that carries an electrical current or radiates EMF, including Wi-Fi, cell
phones or other wireless devices, and fluorescent lights, just to name a few, causes an adverse reaction in
my body. Headaches, brain fog, and internal burning are just a few of the symptoms I still suffer from.
Smart meter RF radiation exposure devastated my health and has been catastrophically disabling to me
and my daily life. I can no longer tolerate living in an urban environment, so I have moved to South
Dakota, to a cleaner environment in the country. Because of the harms I was exposed to, I am separated
from my family, which has contributed to my suffering.
My daily life is a constant navigation process. I have over half of the electricity shut off in my house tohelp provide a safer environment for me, but I still have to navigate where to walk, sit,
stand, and sleep to help prevent exposure. There is no Wi-Fi in my house. My phone and computer are
hard-wired, but even the use of these devices cause me symptoms, so I must wear protective clothing andgloves, and restrict my use. You cannot imagine how difficult it is for me to go out in public. I avoid it asmuch as possible. I have a nursing license, but can no longer work in my profession.
My exposure occurred in privatized housing owned and operated by Kirtland Family Housing (KFH), on
Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When we signed our lease with KFH, it
included 16 Addendums covering everything from lead-based paint to radon. Nothing was evermentioned about smart meter RF radiation. There are approximately 30 houses on this base with the exact
same design as our house with smart meters installed next to where people sleep. There are two electricalsmart meters mounted on the outside of the master bedroom wall, and two gas smart meters inches awayfrom an adjacent bedroom wall. This is a very dangerous situation for everyone who is living in theseunits. Clearly, based upon the investigation we had performed by a Certified Electromagnetic Radiation
Specialist, I, as well as my family, was being bombarded the whole time for months with RF radiation by
all four smart meters. Findings by the Certified Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist confirm:
At the master bed pillow, Radio Frequency Radiation from the electric smart meters measured 160 - 306
μW/m2 (lower to mid SEVERE). The gas smart meters measured 1180 -1260 μW/m2 (above
EXTREME).
Based upon this report, one can conclude, approximately 30 families on KAFB are being exposed to thesame levels of RF smart meter radiation. The primary rooms that are being exposed are ALL bedrooms
where families sleep. Adults, children, and infants are being exposed.
Upon contacting the housing custodians, seeking their help concerning this health and safety incident, I
informed them I had been sleeping near an electrical drop panel and two smart electrical meters, andinformed them of my rapid health decline and sickness. I was met with obfuscation and dismissal. In
December of 2020, a KFH representative wrote in an email to me that their gas and electric utility
company, Minol, stated, “it’s not the meters.”
At this point in time, neither KFH nor Minol had ever sent anyone to investigate; yet their response wasthat “it’s not the meters.” I persistently pursued the housing custodians to investigate, and two and one
half months after I first reported to them, they finally sent out an Industrial Hygienist who was illprepared to conduct a thorough investigation. He brought only one piece of equipment, a low-frequency
magnetic field meter, thus only checked for that one factor. He did NOT check for RF smart meterradiation. At the conclusion of his investigation, he told me that I put my bed in the worst possible place,and then he explained to me that his findings were within acceptable public standards. The guidelines heused stating 2000 milliGauss did not apply to the source of what was making me sick, which was RFR
exposure, not low- frequency magnetic fields. The “so-called” FCC guidelines nonetheless are outdated,
not based on clear scientific research, and not based on official FDA policies, including its own report on
RFR harms. This false claim thereby gave cover to KFH and KAFB to rely on the false premise that RFRlevels radiating base housing were safe. This particular base is NOT the only one thatallows smart meters on the bedroom walls; it is likely that every military base in the U.S. has somehousing which has this harmful radiation issue. Countless peoples’ lives, health, and well- being arepotentially being detrimentally affected.
My husband and I requested a meeting with the KAFB commander. As a “read ahead” document for our
meeting, we gave the commander a letter from my doctor confirming my diagnosis of “Overexposure to
Microwave Radiation.” The letter also listed the timeline of all my symptoms, examinations, andsupporting evidence of two RFR emitting wireless electrical meters on the other side of the masterbedroom wall next to my bed, with significant pulsations detectable in the bed (to 6,400 μW/m2). These
readings were taken in my home by my doctor with a HF 59B meter for radio-frequency radiation (RFR).
This was compelling evidence of a health and safety incident caused by smart meter RF radiation, and thebase commander neglected to investigate the incident. Also, the commander declined to grant myhusband and I a meeting. Failing to investigate and address a health and safely incident involving smart
meter RF radiation that potentially is affecting other military members and their families can be a serious
national security risk. The seriousness of this situation is evident and far reaching, and it all stems fromthe false claims of safety promulgated by the FCC and FDA.
I continue to suffer every day from the injuries I sustained from smart meter RF radiation. Internalburning, numbness, weakness, brain fog, cognition and memory difficulties are part of my everyday life.
It has become painfully clear that companies and their custodians rely on these false claims as theirprotective shield, to the detriment of people’s good health and well-being. Current guidelines concerning
EMF/RF radiation are not adequate to protect humans and the environment, especially with the speed atwhich more and more wireless technology is being imposed on Americans, and the health risks andharms have been irresponsibly denied (it is obvious that the wireless industry know their products cause
harm, yet still they carry on harming an unsuspecting public). I know how detrimental RF smart meterradiation exposure is; I live with the consequences every day of my life. Please, it is time to write, pass,and enforce laws that regulate the use of EMF/RF radiation emitting devices for the protection ofpeople’s good health and well-being and our environment.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Under penalty of perjury, I declare that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge andbelief.

Why should residents be subjected to something (a smart meter) that is, according tomuch documentation, most probably detrimental to their health? I know several friends
who are sensitive to EMF who have felt the frequency in their head and suffered fromheadaches since smart meter installation on their homes. I am gratified not to have one,and I intend to do whatever I can to keep it that way.
Please take your head out of the sand and believe what you are hearing about thedamage that smart meters and EMF can cause to people’s health, instead of plowing rightthrough and insisting that smart meters are our future?

Dear New Mexico PRC,
Please enter this comment into the public record for Case No. 22-00058-UT.
Thank you for refusing smart meters in the past. Please hold steady on this resolve today.
The energy companies routinely give false assurances that smart meters don't give off much radiation.
New Hampshire is the first government in the nation to investigate the harm, and they published agroundbreaking Commission Report document to educate and protect the public with hard-wired
technology. (Did you know Lloyds of London, Swiss RE and others do not cover for wireless radiation
harm.)
As you may know, the FCC was recently sued for ignoring 11,000 pages of evidence that wirelessradiation from all sources is very biologically damaging. Important inroads are being made, but it willtake years for federal public policy to catch up to the science.
In the interim, the industry is pushing hard and fast to install hazardous infrastructure before they are
made to stop.
That is why it is essential for our state and local public servants to quickly come up to speed on risk
management for utility meters and cell towers.
Utility meters and internet connections should be hard-wired to the premises with no toxic wirelesstransmissions.
Thank you,

Dear Members of New Mexico Public Regulation Commission:
The continued threats of radio-frequency radiation cannot be allowed to proliferate in today's society.
Enabling the placement of smart meters for citizens of New Mexico is an outright infringement of their
medical freedom. The harmful radiation and invasion of privacy that accompanies installation of thesemeters must be thwarted. Please continue to be a shining example of what is right and just for citizens
nationwide, by prohibiting this dirty infiltration. We are all fighting the fight in different states

Hello Sir.
I'm French (please don't focus on my bad English) and in my country
electricity, gaz and water smart meters have been spread out for
years. This increased the EMF pollution. As I am electro-hypersensitive(EHS), I could escape getting such meters. I don not know for how long,
but I know that many other EHS didn't have my luck. A lot of them felt
sicker and sicker since the installation of smart-meters, even so theiremissions are quite low.
Some of those people can no longer live in their housing and got reallyhomeless. I know other people who were not previously EHS, but became
suddenly after the installation of the meter.
New Mexico has been a lighthouse in the night of electro-smog comingfrom smart meters. You have showed the whole world that an advanced
nation can manage without smart meters.
Please, stay on course, firstly for your nationals an secondly for all
the people in the world who worry about the increase of electro-smog.
Let me get some hope.

NO SMART METERS IN NM!
Please do not force people to use "smart meters". These devices emit radiation and like many
people I suffer from this radiation. I get headaches, insomnia and my tinnitus increase inintensity and volume.
Please noteSmart meters consume energy.
Smart meters emit radiation and cause all the wiring in your home to emit radiation.
Smart meters cause fires and explosions.
Smart meters are hackable. Smart meters invade your privacy.
Smart meters are inaccurate and raise your electric bills.
Aren't these reasons enough to say no to these unnatural machines? We deserve better.
Keep smart meters out of New Mexico.
Thank you, Kelly Marcotulli

Greetings to the Public Regulatory Commission.
I am writing to express my strong objection to PNM installing smart meters to measureelectricity usage in Albuquerque and eventually all of New Mexico.
I DO NOT WANT A SMART METER IN MY HOME!
Smart meters are not secure -- they can be hacked and offer an inroad for invasion of
my privacy. As controlled by PNM they violate Federal and State wiretapping laws byrecording and storing data of my private and personal activities without my knowledge orconsent.
EMFs emitted by smart meters have been shown to cause environmental damage toplants; they harm the health of humans and animals. For details see
https://bioinitiative.org/conclusions.
Because the smart meter allows dirty electricity to flow through the wires in my home, I
will be exposed to unwanted and unhealthy EMFs at all times, waking and sleeping. I will
not be able to escape them. I'll even be exposed to harmful EMFs wherever I go if smart
meters are installed throughout the City of Albuquerque.
Progress isn't always good for us or planet Earth. Remember DDT? DDT was "progress"
that became infamous for its harmful effects on the environment.
Smart meters are the DDT of this generation. PLEASE DENY PNM's
APPLICATION FOR SMART METERS.
PNM's applications to install smart meters have already been denied TWICE for goodreasons. The reasons keep increasing in strength and validity.
You have the power to keep Albuquerque and New Mexico safe from harmful "progress"by saying "NO" to PNM's third application for smart meters. Thank you for your service tothe citizens of New Mexico.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to urge you to keep New Mexico free of smart meters.
These devices offer minimal, if any, benefit to consumers.
I have several friends who had them installed, and regretted it ever since.
The smart meters have frequently malfunctioned and provided incorrect readings.
The energy companies who installed the meters have done very little to rectify the problem, and seem
content with keeping the meters installed even though they are clearly unfit for purpose, and potentiallyhazardous to health due to the effects of the EMFs they emit.
I have refused to have one installed in my home due to my concerns about its potential impact on myhealth, and its accuracy, and will continue to do so.
New Mexico is one of the last two states in the US (Connecticut is the other one) where an investorowned electric utility has not deployed smart meters.
Please keep New Mexico that way; an example to the world of what is possible, and a lower-radiation
refuge for those who need one.
Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
Smart meters are a health hazard because they emit radiofrequency/microwave
radiation.
Smart meters are especially toxic when several are placed together, as inclusters on the outer walls of apartment buildings or businesses, and next tobedrooms, living areas, or work spaces.
Like Carbon Monoxide, radiofrequency/microwave radiation is invisible andodorless. Like Tobacco, Asbestos, leaded gasoline, and DDT were in the past,
wireless devices are promoted heavily by industry, and their harmful effects
are covered up to promote sales of products.
I know from personal experience that wireless radiation causes harm. Yet weserve it up in schools, like the lead in Flint, Michigan's water, and promise
hospital patients technological wonders, while poisoning them.
Now you want to place the meters emitting radiation on people's homes.
Let me tell you how I had to quit my job due to microwave radiation sickness,and how I am not compensated for doing so.
In Rhode Island, I worked 20 hours a week at the Peace Dale Library’s
Circulation Desk from December 2015 to May 2016.
I enjoyed the work, until I began to get health problems. Insomnia, brain fog,dyslexia, memory loss, anxiety, heart palpitations, stomach cramps, flushing,inflammation, eye pressure, headaches, and irritability.
I finally realized that my workstation was 10 feet from the whole-library Wi-Fi
transmitter.
We did not have Wi-Fi at home, however, so I was able to tell the difference,
especially with regard to symptoms.
I had replaced Wi-Fi in 2009 with hardwired ethernet connections because I
read that The American Academy of Pediatrics had implored the Federal

Communications Commission to update its inadequate 1996 radiofrequency
radiation standards.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hasn’t updated safety
standards for radiofrequency radiation (RFR) since 1996. According toHarvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, the FCC is capturedby the industry it is supposed to regulate.
https://ethics.harvard.edu/files/center-for-ethics/files/capturedagency_alster.pdf

On November 10, 2022, the investigative report by well-respected, nonpartisan
ProPublica.org exposed “How the FCC Sheilds Wireless Providers from Safety
Concerns”: https://www.propublica.org/article/fcc-5g-wireless-safety-cellphones-risk
The City of Boston also criticized the FCC for refusing to update standards,
resenting the FCC’s lack of leadership as Bostonians with RFR-related healthproblems object to close placement of 5G small cell towers outside every 2 to
10 homes: https://ehtrust.org/boston-massachusetts-blasts-the-fcc-on-cell-phone-5g-cell-towersafety/

Most medical doctors don’t know how to recognize, diagnose, treat andprevent the illnesses caused by Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), a grouping
which includes RFR. Fortunately, Continuing Medical Education credits areavailable to medical professionals at the EMF Medical Conference because
illness from EMFs is rapidly growing: https://mdsafetech.org/2020/09/12/emf-medicalconference-2021/

You’ll be told, by sources misinformed by the FCC, that wireless radiation isharmless, but independent science, free of vested interests, shows biologicaldamage including insomnia, metabolic changes, cancer, DNA breaks,
infertility, cognitive impairment, memory problems, and depression.
While the FCC’s outdated standards limit only heating from RFR, thousands ofstudies show other biological effects.
To learn more about why we must reduce wireless radiation, and for practicalsolutions, use this site by Cece Doucette. She has helped Massachusetts put
several bills for safer tech into committee: https://www.ma4safetech.org/
The FCC perpetuates the myth that wireless products are safe. Thus, ourgovernments, hospitals, schools, and public safety personnel have incorporated
them. If you ask why, they quote the FCC, or the Food and Drug
Administration, which parrots the FCC.
At the expense of our health.

In fact, your own agency, the EPA, was relieved of its duty governing
radiofrequency radiation and health when it questioned the false premise thatradiofrequency radiation only caused thermal effects because it had learned
that the science told us that RFR does indeed cause biological effects. The
aforementioned ProPublica article attests to this dismissal.
Here is your chance to do what good government does: act in the interests ofthe public while upholding the Constitution.
Please use mechanical meters for your energy metering. It is safe and moreaccurate. Do NOT use hazardous "smart" meters.
Thank you for allowing these comments.

To: New Mexico Public Regulation Commission
I urge you not to approve the application for deployment of smart meters in New Mexico. I am
concerned about health problems from wireless technologies. Because smart meters will be located onhomes, apartments, schools, and community buildings—literally everywhere—everyone will be
involuntarily exposed, 24 hours a day.
I am one of a growing number of people who cannot remain healthy in the presence of wirelessradiation. My symptoms upon exposure are common ones and include: heart palpitations, headaches,blurred vision, extreme fatigue, and difficulty functioning well cognitively. I cannot work outside myhome due to this and have great difficulty shopping, receiving medical attention, or going to arestaurant. EMF exposure has been shown to compromise the immune system. In terms of personal
experience, post-EMF exposure is when I frequently come down with a cold or flu. In fact, my recent
bout with Covid19 manifested the day after intense exposures.
My respite, and the thing that keeps me relatively healthy, is being able to return to and stay in myhome, which after much hard work, is EMF free. But that refuge has been extremely difficult to create.
It is virtually impossible to find a rental that is not saturated with wireless technology. It is also
extremely difficult to purchase a home that is not similarly vulnerable. Finally at age 70 I have beenable to purchase a healthy home, though I had to move far from friends and family to find something.
I live in constant threat of having to pull up stakes and move again (to where?) when smart metersand cell towers come to my area.
Please do all you can to ensure smart meters are not allowed into New Mexico. By doing so you will
ensure homes, offices, and public spaces are healthier for children and families. And you will be amodel of public stewardship for those of us who live outside the state and need to point to a successful
government guardian such as yourself.

The following list is the changes I have made to my home since the Smart Meter was installed in my
Seaside, OR home, about 4 years ago.
*My bed is 15 feet away from the Smart Meter location*The wall behind my bed is covered with a EMF shielding fabric.
*The electrical outlets in the bedroom have GreenWave filters plugged into them to reduce the electricand magnetic fields near the outlets so they are brought within safe building standards.
With these changes, I am able to sleep thru the night. Before these changes, my nervous system felt
agitated to the point I couldn't fall asleep. My leg muscles were tightened, and cramped at times. It
was difficult to concentrate and retain what I was reading. The bedroom was NOT a place to rest.

Dear Commissioners,
Please keep New Mexico a lower radiation state by keeping smart meters out of the state. I live in
California and the public utility put a smart meter on my house without my knowledge. Subsequently I
felt rather shaky in my own home and my bill went up. I had them remove the smart meter at a costof $75 and an additional $10 a month charge for 36 months for something I never asked for in the firstplace! I am fortunate in that I don’t have a ton of close neighbors so I am not under the constantradiation of the meter now. Be an example for the world and keep New Mexico away from the meterswhich not only negatively impact humans, animals and insects health wise, but also are a form ofsurveillance that is completely unethical.

Too bad for me, I live in Taos.
A smart meter was put in at my address. I started having trouble sleeping at night. I started having
headaches. I stopped waking up happy. My emotions were flatline. This happened quickly, over a couple
of weeks.
Someone told me about symptoms showing up in people after smart meters were installed where theylive. I went looking for the smart meter. Then I moved my bed to a location in the building as far fromthe meter as I could put it, and slept with my head at the end of the bed furthest from the meter
location. I slept through the night, and woke with no headache.
I do not own the property and the owner won't work with the electric company to give back the oldmeter. I feel blessed someone told me about the horrible impact the smart meters have on humanhealth. Please outlaw them in the state of New Mexico.
Thank you for your time researching this public health problem.

illnesses. To date NM has wisely not had them. I am a registered voter in NM and have lived in thisstate 18 years. Keep NM healthy and refuse smart meters. They do not provide "customer protection" as
required under the Grid Modernization Statute. Instead they harm all humans, animals and plants withradiation. How will you feel knowing infants and children, your family members are exposed to thisradiation which harms the nervous system? Do the right thing and refuse Smart Meters in NM. Show

Dear New Mexico PRC First, let me start by praising the effort of New Mexico and PRC to remain smart meter free. This has
certainly been a bold step to keep New Mexico safe from dangerous electromagnetic radiation in theface of mounting pressure from surrounding states. New Mexico should be applauded.
Now I am writing to urge you NOT to go forward with plans to roll out AMI meters in New Mexico.
AMI meters are dangerous to the public and simply put, are really not needed. Analogue meters have
served their purpose admirably for many many years and can continue to do so indefinitely. To install
AMI meters for the sake of advancing technology, at the expense of the safety and well-being of yourcitizenry is just not a prudent course of action.
I urge you to continue being the shining light and example NM has been to other states and to put
the well-being of the people ahead of advancing technology for technology's sake. NM must continue
to be a safe haven for those who are electromagnetically sensitive and even those who are not, toprotect them from over-exposure to dangerous EMFs.
Please continue to do the right and smart thing and keep smart meters out of New Mexico!

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
I'm writing to you to request that you refrain from installing so-called 'smart' metersin New Mexico, with personal experience of the health hazards of these devices. I've
heard that the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has recently reapplied
for permission to install Gen 5 Itron Riva 'smart' meters in the state of New Mexico.
New Mexico has passed a new Grid Modernization Statute allowing public utilities toapply for smart meters. But among the criteria for approval is that the applicationmust be “reasonable” and that smart meters must “provide customer protection.”
Meters that damage customers’ health and the environment are neither reasonable
nor protective.
'Smart Meters' were installed in my community
Like most Americans, I took only moderate notice of President Barack Obama’s
announcement on October 27, 2009 of a $3.4 billion commitment to build somethingcalled the “smart grid.” My ears perked up when Obama spoke about how the newsmart grid would be based on a clean energy economy, and I envisioned renewableenergy sources powering every home. I love the idea of clean energy, and I imagined
a future in which America’s clean energy leaders would be choosing energy sourcesand delivery systems that strive and succeed in doing good, or at least in doing noharm, as the word “clean” implies.
“The growth of clean energy can lead to the growth of our economy,” Obamaannounced, promising that 100 private companies, utilities, manufacturers, cities
and others would soon be receiving grants of between $400,000 and $200 million
each. This sense of fast forward action suited America’s recessionary times, andresistance was discouraged when Obama called for an “all hands on deck approach,”saying, “The closer we get to this new energy future, the harder the opposition isgoing to fight. It’s a debate between looking backwards and looking forward, between
those who are ready to seize the future and those who are afraid of the future, and weknow which side the United States of America has always come down on.”Few details were explained at this initial presentation. Carol Browner, Assistant to
the President for Energy and Climate Change said, “The smart grid is something thathas a transformational impact on how energy is delivered. This is about buildingmore than just miles of wire, it’s about building… something that works.” Having
something that works sounded promising, and at the time, I gave the smart grid nofurther thought.
Canary in the Coal Mine
I took no notice when smart meters were attached to my house in January 2010,
without notification by my utility, nor my express permission. I didn’t notice that one
by one, smart meters were being installed on homes to either side of mine, and all
around my neighborhood. I didn’t notice that slowly but surely, my entire city was
being outfitted with smart meters… until one day in October 2011 I wondered why I
awoke each morning feeling dizzy, with nosebleeds, blurred vision, ringing in myears, and migraine headaches. I wondered why when I was just sitting and watching
TV or reading, my heart would often skip a beat, and bizarre muscle tremors would
inexplicably spasm muscles on my face, arms, legs, and all over my body as if I’d justbeen given an invisible electric shock. When I spent ten days away from my home
and away from smart meters in Maui, I was amazed at how much better I felt. Gone
were all the symptoms which I’d been thinking might have been signs of sudden
aging. When I returned home, all the aforementioned symptoms returned, and I
wondered what could be causing them. In January 2012, a couple of months later, I
caught strep throat and felt sicker than I’d ever been in my life. Unable to feel
comfortable anywhere in the house, due to feelings of pain in my head, eyes, ears,
heart, and all over my body I slept on the living room floor, and turned my full
attention to the question of what, exactly, was making me feel so terribly sick.
When I looked up my symptoms, I was amazed to find that many of them matchedwhat used to be known as “microwave sickness.” The first scientific report of
microwave sickness appeared in 1974, with symptoms including: fatigue, headaches,
palpitations, insomnia, skin symptoms, impotence and altered blood pressure. In
cases of extreme exposure, symptoms also included: warming sensations, nausea,
neuropathy (numbness, tingling, even paralysis in toes and fingers), stomach cramps,
dyasthesia (a crushing sensation) and irritability. People in these studies had been
accidentally exposed to microwave radiation, and no clear biological markers at thattime were found, so these were not the kind of long-term studies that could establish
safe exposure levels.
While I’ve never owned or used any kind of cell phone, WiFi has been installed in myhome for the past decade, with the router running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week atthe opposite end of the house from where I sleep. I’ve worked with a wireless laptop
computer for many years, many hours a day on this WiFi network with no problems
or symptoms of any kind. Despite assurances from my local utility company, PacificGas & Electric (PG&E), that smart meters supposedly emitted much less radiation
than cell phones and WiFi systems, I couldn’t ignore the fact that I felt much better
when away from smart meters, and terribly sick when they were nearby.

I called and wrote to PG&E, asking them to immediately remove and replace thesmart meters that were making me so sick on my home with the analog meters I’d
had for years, with no problems. The PG&E spokesman I reached on the phone readrather woodenly from some kind of prewritten script, repeating over and over again
how “smart meters are harmless.” I explained to him that I have a degree in physics
from UC Berkeley, and am well aware that many kinds of radiation that we currently
don’t have health standards or studies for are far from harmless, and that I was
certain I am experiencing extremely negative effects from smart meters installed on
my home. Eventually, this so-called “help” line staffer informed me that there wasnothing I could do–there was no way (yet) to opt out.
A few weeks later, I attended and spoke at a public hearing of the California Public
Utility Commission (CPUC) in San Francisco. Dozens of people spoke about how
they, too, have been adversely affected by smart meters, and I was shocked to hearreports of people who have become so electro hypersensitive that they are living intheir cars. On the bright side, I was delighted to hear some good news–beginning in
February 2012, California residents in Pacific Gas & Electric’s territories could opt
out, for an initial price and an on-going monthly extra charge. This is not aneighborhood opt-out, but rather a house-by-house opt-out, and businesses are notallowed to request to keep the time-tested analog meters at this time.
At the beginning of February 2012, I requested a smart meter opt-out, and on
February 8, 2012, the gas and electric smart meters on my home were replaced withanalog meters. While I still hear ringing in my ears and have increased sensitivity to
my computer that I never had before, I’m now sleeping well and no longer waking up
with nosebleeds and migraine headaches… and the heart palpitations, muscle spasms
and blurred vision are a thing of the past.
The Precautionary Principle
With the advent of exponential technological growth in recent years,
environmentalists have advocated use of something known as the precautionary
principle. The thinking goes that without some kinds of checks and balances, humancreativity is bound to occasionally throw caution to the wind, with results we now
recognize as being detrimental–regardless how wonderful we originally assumed thebenefits of our ingenuity to be.
The idea behind the precautionary principle is that if an action or policy is suspected
to risk causing harm to the public or the environment, in the absence of scientificconsensus that the action or policy is harmful, the burden of proof that it is notharmful falls on those taking the action. This can be achieved through open
communication with the community, who has a right to know complete information
about possible known risks and issues. The burden to supply this information lieswith the proponent of the new product or technology (not on the general public). Partof this open communication includes an alternatives assessment, with an obligation
to examine a full range of alternatives (including doing nothing) before selecting thealternative with the least potential negative impact on human health and theenvironment. Full cost accounting is part of this assessment, with long-term benefits
and costs (including health and environmental impact costs) included. The entire
process is: transparent to the public, participatory, and informed with the best
available information.
In some legal systems, such as within the European Union, application of the
precautionary principle is a statutory requirement. The advantage of the
precautionary principle for policy makers is that it reminds decision makers of theirsocial responsibility to protect the public and the environment from harm wheneverscientific investigation has found plausible risk. Only when scientific findings emerge
providing solid evidence of no harm shall the wheels of progress roll forward.
It’s Not Too Late
While the city of San Francisco made the news in March 2003 by adopting the San
Francisco Precautionary Principle Resolution, and again in June 2005 when San
Francisco’s Board of Supervisors passed the Precautionary Purchasing Ordinance…
not much of the precautionary principle has yet been seen in action in the UnitedStates.
Many people have stepped forward to acknowledge they have been adversely affectedby electromagnetic fields, including some high-profile, well-educated professionals,
such as Norway’s former prime minister, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland. Increasing
numbers of scientists and doctors are speaking up about known and suspected
dangers of the pulsed, non-ionizing microwave radiation emitted by smart meters.
The World Health Organization (WHO) now lists such electromagnetic radiation as aClass B carcinogen, indicating that it is considered likely to be carcinogenic tohumans, and there is increasingly clear evidence that this kind of radiation causes thebrain-blood barrier to become leaky, in such a way that toxins are more easily carried
into the brain.
With mounting questions from an increasingly concerned public wishing to knowwhat is being installed in our homes, and interested in knowing what effects wirelesssmart meters have on ourselves, our children, our friends and our families, it’s time
we hold policy makers accountable for ensuring that a democratic, truly transparent
decision-making process is taking place with respect to smart meters. The current“Ready-Fire!-Aim” approach to rolling-out wireless smart meters for the smart grid isnegatively affecting human health and the environment.
Just as we recognized the proverbial “writing on the wall” with regard totechnological wonders of their times: Agent Orange, Asbestos, CFCs,
Diethylstilbestrol (DES), Dioxin, DDT, lead paint, and Thalidomide… it’s time for us
to stop, wait for results from current scientific studies, do a thorough job gathering
all relevant wireless smart meter information, engage in open dialogue all involved
communities, and take a careful look at what role we really want wireless smart
meters to have in our world today. If smart meters are harming increasing numbersof people, we potentially have a huge ticking time bomb on our hands… one that isleaving few habitable places left on Earth for growing numbers of individuals who
have less and less tolerance for modern day electrosmog.

Dear New Mexico Representatives;
My name is Virginia Farver and I live in Colorado. I want to let you know that I'm proud of NM not
putting in these dangerous radiation/fire smart/AMI meters. I lost a son who was at the SDSU (San
Diego State University) campus in 2008 from GBM brain cancer. There were 4 men in the building called
Nasatir Hall, and one room, room 131 who all were diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008. There was agentleman who passed away in the mid 90s (1995) who was also located in this same building-roomfrom brain cancer. There was also a cell tower on the Communications building back in the early 90's
but was removed in the late 90s, to be reinstalled in 2002. I received a letter from a professor on
campus fall of 2021. She gave me a list of 9 more women over the last few years, that have gotten
cancers and many have died. They were also near this cell tower. She will no longer teach on campus.
I have attached a picture of the HPWREN cell tower from 2009 when I went out to San Diego to get
answers. Nasatir Hall, room 131 would be located approximately 200' down to the left, in the picture.
Please, notice the dead tree foliage. If you are interested in seeing everything that is on this cell tower,
I'd be happy to share this with you. All of the above 'School Cancer Clusters' involve this type ofradiation. We are putting our children at risk and ourselves and loved ones at risk for cancers and otherdiseases, needlessly.
In the 2009 articles about the 'brain cancer cluster' the SDSU school spokesman mentioned a couple ofpossible culprits. One being a garbage facility and one being this cell tower. Greg Block the SDSU school
spokesman mentioned that the cell tower in question (HPWREN) was installed in 2005. It was installed
in 2002 and had several complaints about illegal emissions. HPWREN (High Performance WirelessResearch & Educational Network) a backbone node to the UCSD Supercomputer Center, is all
governmental and has 'governmental immunity.' Most importantly HPWREN is MISSION CONTROL for
SDG&E.

I'm fighting 'Smart AMI Meters,' here in Colorado. Smart/AMI meters do not have surge protectors
inside of them and I believe are the culprit in the Boulder Fires in December of 2021. These meters emit
a cone of pulsed RF radiation inside and outside of every home to the length of 2.1 miles. Slow kill

processes. Now we are getting 5G antennas throughout our cities and counties. When 4G was released,
this is when we started seeing 'Come get your flu shot' in May, June, July, etc... It went from a seasonalevent to a year-round-event. 5G will make any pathogen/illness much more virulent. If NM stays strong
against the WEF/UN we can beat this stuff. New Mexico will be known as the heroes of the nation, forstaying strong against this. TRUST ME, there is no amount of money or power that is worth losing achild. It's been 14 years and feels like yesterday and I'll never feel whole again. I didn't send my child tocollege to lose his life and I'm still and will always be, heart-broken over his loss.
Proposal to establish en experimental wireless communications platform as acollaborative activity between SSC San Diego and UCSD/HPWREN
This collaborative proposal attempts to establish a 5.8GHz link with several tens of megabits per second
capacity between SSC San Diego and San Clemente Island. This link will serve multiple independent
applications of interest to SSC San Diego and UCSD/HPWREN. To reach UCSD/HPWREN, a separate
2.4GHz or 5.8GHz link is to be established between SSC San Diego and a UCSD location on Mt.
Soledad. As a second priority, a further link to support UCSD sensor platforms on the Coronado Bridge isdesired. While not directly integral to this current proposal, there may be other data communications
opportunities in the future, such an existing weather radar (CODAR) project at Pt. Loma andcollaborations with the Cabrillo National Park.
The identified SSC San Diego location would be at 32.709N 117.248W and 364ft. altitude, connecting to
the San Clemente Island location at 32.915N 118.488W with 1590ft. altitude. The link will be about 73.5
miles with a 281.49TN azimuth, relative to SSC San Diego. Mt. Soledad is about 9.1 miles away with a359.94TN azimuth. The Coronado Bridge location would be at about 105.66TN and a distance of about
5.5 miles.
The antennas to be used are already purchased and available. They will be Gabriel 8' antennas, which willneed to be lifted by crane onto the SSC San Diego building, and moved by barge to the island, and moved
by truck to the final destination on the island. For this link we expect to utilize Redline AN-50 radios.
A rooftop location at SSC San Diego has been identified. An appropriate pole is already in place, whichneeds to be welded to a steel structure in existence already on the roof.
The antennas will have a mounting platform compatible with that pole. The link to Mt. Soledad will use asimilar setup, likely with a 4' antenna. We will need to either utilize indoor space for the radios, or mounta weather-resistant box onto the roof, possibly the steel structure. All equipment is powered by 110V AC.
The Peak location is to be used on the island. This link would replace an existing 2.4GHz link to UCSD
which has been in place since October, 2002. We request permission to mount an 8' Gabriel antenna onto
the tower, perhaps right above the lower current dish antenna.
The FCC imposed limit for the license-exempt 5.8GHz band is 53dBm EIRP. The antenna has an about
40dBi gain, and the radio can be software-configured to match the 53dBm limit, taking antenna gain andconnector/cable loss estimates into account.

To whom it may concern at the Public Regulation Commission,
I currently have two time share weeks at a Santa Fe facility and will sell them or never use
them again if 5G towers, smart meters or whatever else disguised service using EMF is
installed in Santa Fe.
Recommend for the health and safety of your citizens who live in New Mexico and SantaFe, specifically, that 5G technology be disapproved whenever it is suggested regardless of
how it presented as being safe. Just like, cigarettes it will eventually be admitted by theperpetrators that it was indeed harmful for human exposure even to the point of causing
death by the health issues created in the citizenry bodies.
Of course it will too late when this finally occurs to remedy the unnecessary pain andsuffering caused by the fraudulent representations such as what is reasonable andprovided customer protection. Sounds almost like cigarette filters from years gone by.
Also the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), an investor-owned electric utility needs aname change. They are certainly not on the path of providing a public service when trying to install a 5G
network. As always, it is about the MONEY and when a company is owned by investors they want themoney gain to increase and 5G is the way to do this..

To the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission:
Regarding Case No. 22-00058- UT.
I am writing because I was injured by smart meter transmissions in late May 2013. Within one 4-hour
period that began at 3am, I experienced severe tinnitus, tremors, short-term memory issues, and an areaat the back of my neck at the base of my skull that was hot to my husband’s touch. A building biologist
identified our neighbor’s smart meter, 10 feet beyond the wall at the head of our bed, as the source of
my injury. I have a doctor’s letter from that time that supports my need to avoid such smart meter
pulsed digital wireless radiation transmissions. We paid for opt out meters for both our own home andfor our neighbor’s. I began a practice I continue to this day, of carrying meters with me so I can measureand minimize my exposures to wireless radiation.
We moved to a different home in 2017, having arranged beforehand for its opt-out meter.
My meters measured up to 6GHz frequencies, consistent with what was considered 3G and 4G (for 3rd
and 4th Generation) wireless transmissions, but after August 30, 2019, these meters stopped reporting
anything. I soon bought a new meter, one that registers and is able to report pulsed digital wirelessradiation transmissions in the 6GHz to 10GHz frequency range, also known as 4.5G.
I was re-injured beginning in August 2019, when those 4.5G (above 6GHz) wireless transmissions beganin our new neighborhood. These originated from the streetlights and appear to be connecting with thesmart meters throughout the neighborhood. My symptoms from August 30, 2019 included extreme
vertigo, tremors, tinnitus, sleep difficulties, palpitations, headaches, and digestive difficulties. When I saw
a different doctor, he also wrote a letter in support of my need to avoid such wireless radiationtransmissions.
I recently purchased a meter that is able to report wireless transmissions that are in the 5G low and highfrequency ranges. Though I cannot tell when or how 5G frequencies’ transmissions began here, I can tell
you that there now is a blanket of 5G wireless radiation in both the low 5G and high 5G frequencies,
both within consistently narrow ranges, that is present everywhere, both outdoors and inside buildings,
including inside our home and our shielded-from-4.5G-transmissions sleep sanctuary. The 4.5G meter
continues reporting wireless radiation transmissions in the 6GHz to 10GHz range, as before.
My husband and I have taken many steps, at great personal expense, to reduce the amount of 3G, 4G
and 4.5G wireless radiation that penetrates our home from the outside. We have no sources of wirelessradiation inside our home. But it appears we cannot eliminate the higher and lower 5G frequencies we
now know to be present.

I have learned much about self-care in this situation, but this does not prevent the headaches, tremors
and other symptoms I experience after occasions when I am “overexposed.”
I applaud you for having having refused to allow smart meters in the past. I encourage you to hold fast
to that position. Fiber to and through the premises not only eliminates the need for harmful wirelessradiation transmissions, it is easier to update than wireless. Please put the health of your current andfuture citizens ahead of wireless industry profits.
Thank you for considering my comments.

I live in CT and so far, have been successful in avoiding “full” smart meters.
However, I was told by the utility that there is no signaling from the current meter other than when read. I had an
EMF specialist out to check on this.
He discovered that the meter was sending a signal every 16 seconds. I contacted the utility to no avail. This was a
few years ago and I need to pursue again.
I am sensitive to EMFs and notice a great difference when I am away from my home.
Please continue the effort to keep smart meters away from homes.

Dear Sir/Madam:
My family and I vehemently against any smart meters in New Mexico. Those meters have been and are
detrimental to our health.
Five years ago, my family and I had left our homes in other states to come here, because smart meters were notmandated. This was our second move since 2013!
The smart meters were devastating our small children and ourselves and the effects are still noticeable.
Under no circumstances should we, or the uninformed population be made to live with smart meters, or any otherdevices proven already as harming us.

2. SM's cause dirty electricity to flow through your home's wiring.
3. SM's are inaccurate and could raise my electric bills.
4. SM' s can overheat and burst into flames, causing a fire.
5. SM's violate Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing data of private personal

Dear Sir or Madame:
I have recently read that PNM (Public Service Company of New Mexico) has filed for a third time with
the NM Public Regulation Commission to seek approval to install Smart Meters in New Mexico residents'
homes in Albuquerque and throughout New Mexico where PNM provides electricity service.
After doing some research online recently, I would like to express very clearly that I do not support, or
want, a Smart Meter in my home or Smart Meters installed throughout Albuquerque and the State of
New Mexico due to potential health issues, safety concerns, and privacy issues associated with the useof Smart Meters. I feel that the electromagnetic (RF) radiation emitted by Smart Meters installed,
especially inside the home, over time, could cause serious illness (cancer, heart issues, etc.) to me andmy family. Further, I do not want Smart Meters because I do not want my personal information,
personal activities and location recorded without my consent or knowledge. Also, I also have serious
objection to Smart Meters and the possibility of dirty electricity flowing through my home's electricalwiring. Finally, I do not believe it would be fair for PNM to charge a monthly fee to residents/consumers
for refusing to have a Smart Meter in their homes who rely on PNM for their supply of electricity.
Thank you for very much for your serious attention and consideration on this important topic andmatter.

I am writing to say that we do NOT want a ‘Smart Meter’ installed at our residence.
We have read about them, how they emit radiation throughout all wiring in our home, they can cause
fires, and even perhaps explosions.
We truly do not want a meter of this kind. We have also read that they are unreliable and inaccurate
and could raise our electric bill. We
are retired and have a low, set income so we don’t want our bill raised!
Please respect our wishes and give consideration to our reasons for not wanting this new “Smart
Meter”.
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. David Whipple

Hello,I am writing as a, community member, to oppose PNM’s application for Grid Modernization (Case No. 22-00058UT).
I read sections of the application online, and I continue to have concerns about data collection and use – this, inspite of the plan to use the DOE’s DataGuard program. I think I will need to research more about both thisprogram and the details of the modernization plan before changing my decision.
I’m hopeful that through education and transparency, PNM will be able to gather more support for this effort, ascomponents of modernization are no doubt useful and necessary.

To: New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“PRC”) prc.records@prc.nm.gov
From: Peter Gustafson, J.D., Ph.D.
Re: Case Number 22-00058-UT
Date: December 4, 2022
SMART METERS AND THE SPECTER OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
For myself and on behalf of my fellow citizens, I ask that you vote against PNM’s
proposal to install “smart meters” in buildings across New Mexico.
A specter is quietly haunting our lives, but few of us recognize its presence. It iscalled electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by cell phones,
wireless internet equipment, laptop computers, and many other devices. Scientificstudies demonstrate that exposure can cause cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, DNAdamage, altered immune function, neurological diseases, fertility problems, insomnia,
and other ailments. The science on the subject is abundant. A summary can be found in
the BioInitiative Report, 2007, 2012, & 2014. www.bioinitiative.org. Electromagnetic
radiation nonetheless has the quality of a “specter,” a ghost-like apparition. One cannot
see it, feel it, hear it, taste it, or smell it. The harm that it can cause is seldom immediate.
The harm may take decades to develop.
As I understand it, the factual background of Case Number 22-00058-UT is asfollows. The PRC is reviewing a proposal by the Public Service Company of New
Mexico (“PNM”) to install “smart meters” in houses throughout New Mexico. A “smart
meter” delivers data on a customer’s power usage to the utility company. These would
replace traditional “analogue meters,” currently in use, that serve the same purpose.
Unlike an analogue meter, a smart meter uses wireless transmissions. Smart meters
operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They emit a continuous stream of electromagnetic
radiation.
I am no authority on electromagnetic radiation, but I have read four books on thesubject. Of these four, the best is Martin Blank, Overpowered: What Science Tells Us
about the Dangers of Cell Phones and Other WiFi-Age Devices (Seven Stories Press,
2014). Blank was a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics
at Columbia University. He retired in 2011 and he served as a lecturer at Columbia until
his death in 2018.
Professor Blank explains that in most places, people increasingly live in a literal"soup" of electromagnetic radiation on a continuous basis. (p. 10.) Cell phone users now
comprise "87% of the global population." (p. 41.) The radiation has "very serious publichealth risks." (p. 19.) Current safety standards are "fundamentally flawed." (p. 163.)
We should "significantly reduce" our exposure. (p. 187.) Past action to remedy similar
problems with contaminants such as asbestos has been worrisomely slow. (p. 154.) Partof the problem is that one "cannot see, touch, taste, or smell" electromagnetic radiation(p. 239) and its harmful consequences "can take decades to develop." (p. 9.)1

If smart meters are installed in New Mexico, homeowners should be notified of
the safety issues at hand. It would not, for example, be good to place a smart meter on awall adjacent to one’s bedroom, where one’s exposure would likely be at a maximum.
The PRC review procedure gives citizens a forum to present our concerns and toattempt to stop the advance of this technology. This is the rare occasion on which a
public review procedure is available. In most instances, the technology of wirelessemissions has advanced with little or no public discourse or review.
But most citizens are uninformed. The PRC is our trustee. The PRC has a duty toprotect our public interest in safety from electromagnetic radiation. If the public interest
is to be protected at all, the PRC is one of the only agencies capable of doing so.
The matter at hand transcends issues of medical science and goes to the core of
our identity as a political order. In recent decades, political scientists have observed theemergence of a phenomenon known as “postmodern power.” Postmodern power isboundless and de-centered. It pervades every aspect of life. It extends beyond the sphereof government and encompasses the economic and cultural spheres as well. Postmodern
power is exercised by everyone and no one. A “system” that has no particular name orface dominates. Sheldon Wolin, Politics and Vision: Continuity and Innovation inWestern Political Thought (Princeton University Press, 2004; pp. 575, 581-583);
Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted
Totalitarianism (Princeton University Press, 2008, pp. 139, 254-255, and passim).
In this case, the system is represented by PNM, a large, impersonal institution.
PNM demands conformity to the religion of technological advance and economic
efficiency. But it is hard to identify PNM as an evil oppressor. Like Walmart, Google,
or T-Mobile, PNM is just “doing its job” in a high-tech world. PNM does not seek toimpose its will. It just plays its part in a system of normalization. The source of
oppression is diffuse. It is hard to locate.
Postmodern power can seldom be confronted head-on. The best strategy ofresistance is often to disengage, to withdraw. To protect its citizens, New Mexico must
be wise enough to recognize the adversary and detach itself from the advance of thistechnology.

To the PRC,
My great worry about so-called "smart meters" is that they will be imposed on us, with noexceptions and no appeals, without our consent or a general understanding of their dangers.
That is, that the process will be coercive and ill-considered.
Over the last 50 years, in particular, the overlapping waves of new electronic and wirelessdevices have been adopted very quickly and with very little research into their immediate andlong-term dangers. Hardly anything is known about these matters; various well-heeled and wellconnected industries have imposed these devices. Their only concerns have been short-term
profits and conveniences. Hardly anybody has stood back from them and considered any
ramifications beyond the day after tomorrow.
The PRC has the responsibility to consider the longer term. Please do not impose "smart
meters" on us in a coercive, thoughtless, irresponsible way. Take your time and do theresearch.
Thank you.

I am writing to ask that you do NOT approve smart meters for use by PNM in Silver
City, NM. I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the radiation etc. in smart meters jangles
my neurological system and I am not able to live in a house that uses such meters.
My home in Silver City is outfitted to accommodate my disabilities and having tomove because of this change is inconceivable. If smart meters cause me such healthproblems I believe in the research that shows the many ways they disrupt others
lives. Since your interest is to protect consumers, I am a consumer in need ofprotection. Thank you for your help in this matter,

Dear Sirs
I understand that there is a new application from the Public Service Company of New Mexico to install
smart meters as part of a 5G system. I would hope that you would follow the precedent of 2017 andrefuse this application.
As an electro sensitive I have refused to have a smart meter installed in my house in London UK. Even
were I not electrosensitive I would have refused as I believe that subjecting the human body to excesslevels of electromagnetic radiation (such as that delivered by wifi-enabled smart meters) is harmful
and, where possible, should be avoided. Your own legislation accepts that it is the responsibility of thestate to protect its citizens from harm - and subjecting them to excess radiation can certainly beclassed as ‘harm’.
Health and environmental issues aside, smart meters consume extra energy and have been known tocause fires and explosions. They are also hackable and I regard them as as serious invasion of myprivacy.
I very much hope that you will refuse this new application.
Yours -

To the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission,
I do hope that you do not force the adoption of so-called "smart meters" onto the populace of New
Mexico. In my state of Pennsylvania, we do not have the freedom of choice in the matter whether tohave a "smart" meter on our residence. The meter does nothing but cause an electromagnetic signal in
our house 24 hours a day. Our only "choice" is to not have electricity. Is this a "free country"? Apparentlynot!
We do not have any other sources of wireless radiation in our home. We know it is very unhealthy to theenvironment and any living creature. Even the UN has classified EMR as a possible carcinogen (2B) to
humans.
Do you really want to add another possible source of cancer to people?
When our meter started transmitting, I noticed two birds that had died within approximately 25 feet of it.
It could have been more, as vultures and scavengers are good at disposing of dead animals around here,
but I did find two. Neither had evidence of trauma, they were not killed by hitting into windows.
I do hope that you do not bow down to pressure to add another toxic element into our alreadyoverloaded world.
Sincerely,
M. L.

To whom it may concern,
This is a follow up to my last point. I misread the model data on Itron's spec sheets, and while mymodel can be upgraded to send a lower grade EMF pulse for readings, that is not possible with thedigital unit I have. My apologies for any confusion on my part for a function not present in my meter
for PNM to use. That said, I have spoken to the meter reader in my area once, about 7 or 8 months
back, and he has no issues getting to and from my meter to read it.
https://www.itron.com/-/media/feature/products/documents/spec-sheet/100188sp06-c1s-centron.pdf
My position of no to Smart Meters, based on health, remains. Especially as the FCC governs oversight
into SMART Meter technology, and yet has no medical professionals nor any section designed to deal
with health hazards of any kind.
There is also the potential for fire danger as it relates to power surges. We're expecting brownouts
this and next year, and while I'm not an engineer, my understanding is the RF components are fragileand susceptible to power surges, even with extra layers of protection, it's not full proof. There havebeen numerous cases in California of fires related to power surges and Smart meters, since theiradoption. Shifting from off for a brownout, back to on again, will trigger a surge, and thus can trigger
the units to catch fire that can potentially burn down a home.
https://smartmeterharm.org/2019/10/10/california-power-shut-offs-pose-fire-risk-due-to-smartmeters/
https://smartmeterharm.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/fire-and-electrical-hazards-report.pdf
While there are potential fixes to this, it would not be foolproof, and I can find no industry response orindicator of changes or updates.
Then there's the issue of privacy rights? How about civil and constitutional rights related to our rightto self determination and control of our own life? The ability of the power company to take control
over any smart device in a house, and manually turn them on or off. Or use an AI system to turn themon or off. What if that fridge is turned off for more than 4 hours? That could be hundreds of dollars
in food, spoiled and damaged. Freezer burned frozen foods that are almost inedible. Perhaps themonitor forgets to turn certain devices back on? What if one of the devices is a stove while a family is
cooking? The food is ruined. They have to spend more money both in tossing out what wouldn't
cook, but also buying food elsewhere that is going to be more expensive. Then if we're referring togreen energy, that's an issue because now their car has to be turned on, or they order throughdoordash or another service, though either way a car is being driven. A tragedy for those who feel
CO2 is an environmental and climate issue. Nevermind the added expense to that family, either in gas
costs directly, or in delivery charges.

What if someone with a medical device is hooked up to a smart wall socket, or their medical device isa smart device, and the PNM monitor or AI program they use, turns it off? What if that medical device
is critical to their life? What if they're young and that device is temporary for now, but critical tosurvival? Does PNM now have to be given access to what should be private medical records to avoid
this conflict? How many potential interlaced problems could occur that lead to direct harm, breaching
multiple rights, etc, and put the city and state in a bind due to restrictions on oversight and questions
as to where citizens obtain some form of compensation, or seek specific law changes, and the damage
done in the time it takes for new laws to be written, pass, then become actionable?
Are these devices hackable? Can someone shut off your power from the street if they know the rightRF frequencies? Or take over your smart devices in your house? Yes.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/29/smart-electricity-meters-dangerouslyinsecure-hackers
What good is a well designed, nigh impossible to hack security system, if a Smart meter can override
it? Especially as Smart meters will use universal systems and RF frequencies. They have to for utility
companies to maintain connections and read from them, or use their features. This negates any andall home security for any clever hacker group that figures out the weakness in a smart meter of a given
type, then passes that along in the dark web. How long would it take PNM to address this? To get a
new meter passed? What if that new meter once passed is already hacked due to the processing time
for them to replace said meters. Nevermind costs to PNM, which might add up exponentially as
hacking becomes more and more commonplace, especially for young kids out for a thrill because
they're bored. With more smart technology comes more inroads for those clever and bored teenages
to hack. What if that kid just wants to get back at a particular neighbor, by shutting down their power,
but due to proximity and connections through interlaced smart technology frequencies, he shuts
down every house within that specific interconnected grid? What if the goal is to hack into security
cameras for a peeping tom? What if that peeping tom suddenly gains access to multiple smart
meters, and through them, multiple camera systems? These are very real world scenarios that can playout. While unlikely, even one hacking attempt and the spread of that information on how should beenough to worry anyone.
Maybe I'm jumping the gun and all they can do is turn off your alarm system, or other devices, butthat alone is a real potential threat going forward. Unfortunately, a very realistic one.
Thank you, and again, I apologize for that one inaccurate point in my first email,Alexander Langella

to apply for Smart Meters for a 3rd time since 2018.
I do NOT want Smart Meters in New Mexico. There is ample research that suggests potential healthhazards from the constant pulses of RF pulses, including desynchronization of medical devices like

pacemakers. Continued independent research has only shown danger and potential health issues
for long term exposure, and testing has shown the pulses from the system travel throughout theelectrical wiring in the house, generating the same bandwidth radiation everywhere rather than justat the meter itself. So anyone who is highly sensitive to EMF radiation cannot escape those pulses
by moving further into the house, away from the meter.
This is just one of several groups cataloging the research into Smart Meters:
https://mdsafetech.org/smart-meters/
Current digital meters are more than adequate, and allow for ground-based pulses that PNM canuse to pick up meter readings from a car parked as far as 30ft away, if they need to. They have 2
independent grounding rods, one for ground, the other to transmit meter data into the groundshould PNM choose to use this method to avoid having to visually read the meter.

CAUTION: This email originated outside of our organization. Exercise caution prior to clicking on links
or opening attachments.
Dear Commissioners:
I will hope that the PRC will consider all ramifications of the pending PNM AMI proposal and makeadjustments in the public interest before approving the PNM proposal, namely:
1. The commission is surely aware that this is not as much an energy conservation measure as apeak pricing measure, the motivation being peak profits. While some minor benefit might be
accruedto the public by knowing power use at any given time, most people already know how much power
they use when they get their bill and most people don’t have the leisure time to obsess over power
use all the time – rather it’s reported to be anxiety producing for those people that do. And sincemost power draw is from big ticket items like HVAC and major appliances, they already are mostly
used only when necessary. So the benefit will be on the fringes. (‘Less than 3% of today’s smart
meters fulfill 2009 promises of customer savings’ - Utilitydive.com, October 5, 2022).
2. The pro-active claimed advantage of an AMI system to detect faults is a red-herring sinceanytime a power fault occurs the PNM phones will light up like a Christmas tree. Rather the pointis that PNM does not want to employ phone operators. The claim that AMI computers can
automaticallydetect and dispatch crews assumes it is a perfect, ideal, fault-free, non-human world which only
exists in planning spreadsheets and marketing campaigns.
3. Peak power pricing is a flawed monopolistic practice when applied to retail that penalizes all
citizens at the times when they are in most dire need of power, namely during extreme weather
conditions. One need look no farther that the Texas winter freeze of a few years ago whencustomers
received extortionist bills in the amount of thousands of dollars a month. While the PNM proposal
specifies at this time just nominal “Grid Mod Rider” rates, this will have nothing to do with
future peak pricing rate adjustments to come or cost overruns.
4. The AMI technology is designed for data-mining of individuals, since acquisition of the timeparsed energy usage can be used to derive much data about how people live and what electronicequipment they use, when, and under what conditions and can even deduce how many people arein thehouse at any given time. In the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit 1n 2018, apanel of judges concluded readings from smart meters constitute a “warrantless search.” ‘Enablingsmart meter data access for customers and third parties “raises cybersecurity concerns” and faces“technical constraints,” quoting Consolidated Edison spokesperson Allan Drury. It would also “beexpensive and provide little value added” to data currently available through ConEd’s web portalheadded’ (Utilitydive, October 5, 2022). If this data is collected then it will be stored, processedand sold, whether indirectly or directly, at some point in time, despite assurances, to third
parties as part of outsourcing. The individual has no choice since power generation is a monopoly

only resort. One cannot not choose to not use power. By law this data has to be limited in that it
can never be transferred to third parties and its sole use is for internal PNM power
management.
5. AMI systems are based on radio transmissions and like all transmissions can and will be hacked
by third parties for any number of nefarious uses. Of course every provider will protest that
their system is secure, until it isn’t. It needs to be stipulated PNM shall have no liability
protection for hacks and the shareholders and not New Mexicans shall pay for any damages.
That can provide the only incentive to invest in security. Plus it is a 2-way system – PNM

computers can remotely shut off your power in principle based on PNM computer errors withno human involvement. Or so can hackers.
Because of the radio transmissions from your house, the concern of high non-ionizing radiation
exposure has been raised. While this seems probably not at dangerous levels if receivers are
nearby, it has not been conclusively determined to be non-hazardous under all installations.
Unless PNM can produce peer-reviewed third party reports that the technology is safe forhouseholds, it should be held accountable by law for downstream damages related to AMI
radiation exposure.
The mandatory $30 proposed ($28.31 is the PNM engineered number) monthly opt-out charge
is confiscatory and needs to be eliminated. The motivation seems to be that maximum peakpricing profit capital expenditure only works if they can charge everyone. In the UK when asimilar AMI system was proposed the opt-out charge was zero, i.e., no charge. The UK is an
expensive market to serve. If it is viable in the UK it suggests that this is an unjustified charge
intended to inflate profits. And if it is a great technology you won’t have to force people into it.
For areas where it has been already installed, meter reliability has often been reported as poor,
especially in remote areas but also in all areas. Data accuracy is also affected by weather
conditions besides the usual issues of electronic and software design flaws, improper installationand handling, and manufacturing errors. More than 10 years ago Duffner Engineering, Santa
Clara, CA, conducted a reliability analysis of an early prototype smart meter design andpredicted failure rates of 12% to 24% for the first year of service. The current actual failure rate
is about 1% for the first year. In a 2019 Uswitch, UK, survey, 31% of homes reported issues with
their smart meter, 39% of people said their smart displays had simply stopped working. And it
takes a long time for NM customers to straighten out errors even in the status quo. If AMI wereallowed, then PNM needs to be required to provide 24 hour customer service human, i.e.
human, operators to support billing questions and with no hold-time longer than 10 minutes.
Otherwise they won’t care whether or if errors are corrected. So-called AI can never solve errorsof the entity that deployed the AI and which assumes no errors.
The business case for AMI is cloudy as the infrastructure costs are very high and payback
unclear. There have been arguments that the savings smart meters generate do not justify thecost. Regulators in Kentucky and Massachusetts were not so blunt, but they rejected proposals
in 2018 over concerns that utilities did not sufficiently make the business caseInstead of PNM spending effort, time and money to squeeze more profits out of the coming scarcity
they should be spending their efforts, time and money on solar, wind, hydrogen, and storage farmconstruction and seeking with NM a realistic bridge extension means. Notwithstanding motivations
and strategic planning shortcomings, AMI is at best a dangerous and perverse measure that needs
strict limitations and regulation if it is deployed on matters of costs, privacy, reliability, safety andsecurity.
I urge the commissioners to do their due diligence on this topic. I hope NM can be a jurisdictional
leader in the deployment of AMI only when it’s proven and makes sense and protects the public andenhances capability without any reservation and so to make it work for the public and not just forthe monopoly.

5. AMI systems are based on radio transmissions and like all transmissions can and will be hacked
by third parties for any number of nefarious uses. Of course every provider will protest that theirsystem is secure, until it isn’t. It needs to be stipulated PNM shall have no liability protection forhacks and the shareholders and not New Mexicans shall pay for any damages. That can provide theonly incentive to invest in security. Plus it is a 2-way system – PNM computers can remotely shut off
your power in principle based on PNM computer errors with no human involvement. Or so canhackers.
6. Because of the radio transmissions from your house, the concern of high non-ionizing radiation
exposure has been raised. While this seems probably not at dangerous levels if receivers are
nearby, it has not been conclusively determined to be non-hazardous under all installations. Unless
PNM can produce peer-reviewed third party reports that the technology is safe for households, it
should be held accountable by law for downstream damages related to AMI radiation exposure.
7. The mandatory $30 proposed ($28.31 is the PNM engineered number) monthly opt-out charge isconfiscatory and needs to be eliminated. The motivation seems to be that maximum peak pricing
profit capital expenditure only works if they can charge everyone. In the UK when a similar AMI
system was proposed the opt-out charge was zero, i.e., no charge. The UK is an expensive market
toserve. If it is viable in the UK it suggests that this is an unjustified charge intended to inflate
profits. And if it is a great technology you won’t have to force people into it.
8. For areas where it has been already installed, meter reliability has often been reported aspoor, especially in remote areas but also in all areas. Data accuracy is also affected by weather
conditions besides the usual issues of electronic and software design flaws, improper installationand handling, and manufacturing errors. More than 10 years ago Duffner Engineering, Santa Clara,CA, conducted a reliability analysis of an early prototype smart meter design and predicted failure
rates of 12% to 24% for the first year of service. The current actual failure rate is about 1% for the
firstyear. In a 2019 Uswitch, UK, survey, 31% of homes reported issues with their smart meter, 39% of
people said their smart displays had simply stopped working. And it takes a long time for NM
customers
to straighten out errors even in the status quo. If AMI were allowed, then PNM needs to be required
to provide 24 hour customer service human, i.e. human, operators to support billing questions andwith no hold-time longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise they won’t care whether or if errors arecorrected.
So-called AI can never solve errors of the entity that deployed the AI and which assumes no errors.
9. The business case for AMI is cloudy as the infrastructure costs are very high and payback
unclear. There have been arguments that the savings smart meters generate do not justify thecost.
Regulators in Kentucky and Massachusetts were not so blunt, but they rejected proposals in 2018
over concerns that utilities did not sufficiently make the business case. Instead of PNM spending
effort, time and money to squeeze more profits out of the coming scarcity they should be spending
their efforts, time and money on solar, wind, hydrogen, and storage farm construction and seeking
with NM a realistic bridge extension means. Notwithstanding motivations and strategic planning
shortcomings, AMI is at best a dangerous and perverse measure that needs strict limitations
and regulation if it is deployed on matters of costs, privacy, reliability, safety and security.
I urge the commissioners to do their due diligence on this topic. I hope NM can be a jurisdictional
leader in the deployment of AMI only when it’s proven and makes sense and protects the public andenhances capability without any reservation and so to make it work for the public and not just forthe monopoly.

In 2017, PNM's application to install smart meters was disallowed. This was and continues to be amodel for other states of how groups of us can work together (public&private) collaboratively toprotect the Health and Safety of all of us here in New Mexico. The Health and Safety risks that wereidentified then still exist today. Therefore, we expect that this current application will be disallowed
because it is right thing to do for ourselves, our children and grandchildren and the natural world that
we all love so well. My strong opposition to smart meters,, is based on past personal experiences inanother state, as well as many studies (independent of these industries) that show significant harm tohealth and safety. I first became aware of the danger of this type of technology in a conversation withmy physician who was advising me on ways to improve my health. He even changed his offices so thatthey were free of this kind of tech because he had a number of patients who were experiencing side
affects. Also, later I found out that a smart meter was installed by the local electric utility in my condo
without my knowledge or consent. I paid out of my pocket to have it removed and my electric bills
increased on an ongoing basis. After professional testing,I learned that the building I was living in had
high levels of harmful energy from the other two connected condos that had the meters as well. Eachof us, myself included values our health and well being. People move to New Mexico to find ahealthier and more beautiful place to live and raise their families. We expect to continue to live here ina "Smart Meter free" environment. Let's continue to set a positive example for other states to follow.

I very much appreciate your kind attention to assure my corrected comment below gets to the PRC

Sincerely, Leila Baroody---------------------------------------------------------------------In 2022, I moved into a family home at 100A Estrellas de Tano in Santa Fe, which currently has ananalog electricity meter. I have serious concerns regarding impacts to my health with new metering
technology that will be employed if the proposed grid modernization proposal is approved. From theinformation I have been able to review, I have not seen any mention of health risk assessment of the
new technology, nor specifics on what meter model will be used pertaining to potential metering
technology health harms which may not allow me to stay in my family home. An additional questionis whether the grid modernization plan will enable collection and transmission of data toundisclosed and unauthorized parties. I live in a family home on a property next to my brother'shome which has an electric metering technology that takes account of the solar panel energy
generation from his roof, and a PNM meter reader comes once a month to record data. The billingfor both houses is under Robert Baroody.
In the past 4 years, I have had to move multiple times related to electromagnetic sensitivities, andand was very happy to find I could live in the family home here in Santa Fe. The last move from
Arizona related to new metering technology installed (without notice) which caused serious healthimpacts. Given my past experiences, as well as consultations with electrical engineers and medical
doctors, I have serious concerns about potential impacts on my personal health if metering orcollector technology is employed which has not been health risk-assessed for biologically active
harms.
More specifically, my concerns relate to:1) If the PNM/ SPS plan employs radio transmitter capabilities for the data collection andtransmission;2) Whether the frequency ranges of collector equipment (supplanting the human meter reader) has
been biologically risk assessed for health impacts from any electromagnetic activity emanating fromthe new meter;
3) From my experiences, I am aware that Itron meters can generate high frequency transients andharmonics that may affect human health.
At present, I am able to walk past the current meters to go for exercise on the road without feelingany ill effects. I am not alone in having electromagnetic sensitivities, and require more informationand metering specifics as PNM continues to review the grid modernization plan, which is woefullylacking any health-related impact assessment of the new technology.
If you need more details or have further questions, I can be reached at 505-988-7469.
Thank you, Leila Baroody

As a citizen in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I am glad that our state is an example to the world of what
is possible by keeping a lower radiation refuge for those who need one. My understanding now is thatPNM has reapplied to have smart meters in our state. Among the criteria for approval is that theapplication must be "reasonable" and that smart meters must "provide customer protection". Metersthat damage customers' health and the environment are neither reasonable nor protective.
Smart meters consume energy. They also emit radiation and cause all the wiring in your home toemit radiation. Smart meters have also been known to cause fires and explosions. Smart meters arehackable. They invade our privacy, and smart meters are inaccurate and raise the electric bills. On topof all that, I have been affected since 5G came into play by not being able to sleep well, every night isdifficult which has caused other health problems and it has been a financial hardship. i've tried some
EMF products, which have helped a little, but that is how I know it's the "radiation" and not somethingelse. I've had to detox more often, and my immune system has weakened. I've also noticed symptoms
such as "fogginess" cognitive skills decreasing. Symptoms that I did not have until our communities
were basically forced by the industries to start using 5G so their phones and computers would actuallywork more quickly and download what they needed, and at least one neighbor I know is using morethan 5G! I didn't even know that was possible. This is serious. I've also noticed in my community thatbeetles have gone into hiding. I've been an outdoors enthusiast for many years. Beetles hiding all
Summer and still hiding is a clear message that something is not right, esp. in NM where we havemore hot weather than cold or rain. The birds are disappearing and their flight patterns have changed.
This is, and should be very concerning. While these factors may be part of other issues going on
environmentally, the fact is that it has been more noticeable since 5G networking has become
prominent in our society and world-wide. Our medical facilities have reported more evidence ofradiation toxicity as well. It is my hope that the Attorney General of New Mexico and our other public,
private and governmental entities support each other once again in fighting for and securing the right ofthe people to their health and safety in their homes and communities.

Re: No. 22-00058-UT— PNM Proposed AMI “smart meter” roll out
Greetings:
I oppose the above application for smart meter approval. I have looked over the application,
and, despite the glowing language used, it does not address my concerns regarding thistechnology. Among other things, PNM states that they’ll be using “a combination of wireless &fiber optic”. Neither one of these technologies renders smart meters desirable. First, “two way
communication” between utility company and meter is constant with either technology, resulting
in constant pulses of electrical data and radiation back and forth. Second, the meter (either
wireless or fiber optic) transmits information into the wiring of the user’s home. There are anumber of problems with this, as follows:
Increased information and centralized data presents cybersecurity issues. Although theapplication purports to address this, it doesn’t do so. It merely offers some vague "dataprivacy protections", (which incidentally wouldn't be needed with an analog system. So,
more unproven technology to address a problem that was created by technology. Put
simply: with centralized, digital techonolgy, the entire grid becomes hackable. There’s
really only one way to prevent that—keep it analog.
Increased information passing back and forth presents privacy issues. Smart meters are
obviously a great surveillance device.
Increased information going back and forth (and being stored by PNM) increases energy
use. This is a no brainer, despite all the language about recruiting from “clean” energy,
and distributed sources. It is still more energy, and will be for a long time.
Smart meters cause fires and explosions. This was not addressed at all in the application.
This is especially worrisome in a state like New Mexico, where just last summer we
suffered some of the biggest wildfires we’ve seen.
Smart meters emit near constant pulses of radiation, and cause all the wiring in the home
to do so. This has deleterious effects on health of humans, as well as animals, and theenvironment. These effects have been studied, but these studies have largely been
ignored. The precautionary principle requires that this be further investigated before thisroll out.
Smart meters are inaccurate, and make fixing inaccuracies even more difficult than
before. As an analogy consider banking. In the days before the internet and call centers,
when the bank made a mistake on your account you could talk to a human and get it
resolved. Now you are offered a phone recording containing a “menu” of options, eachchoice of which often leads to another menu. Resolving an issue of technical inaccuracy
has become far more complicated and frustrating than it should be.
The relevant statute requires that the application be “reasonable.” The above issues present
problems that have not been addressed. Moreover, certain of the issues (radiation concerns,
hackability, privacy) are inherent to the technology. Therefore, the application is for a technologythat is harmful. It is therefore not reasonable.
Further, although the application purports to “prioritize” “low income” customers, theopposite is the case. First, the proposed roll out is paid for in large part by the customer.

Presumably that applies even if one opts out. Second, opting out carries an enormous
financial penalty--$18.60 (if the customer opts out of an AMI meter prior to installation of the
AMI meter) or $49.17 (if the customer opts-out of an AMI meter after installation), and amonthly fee of $28.31. For a customer with an average bill of $60-$70 per month, that
increases the bill by nearly half. It is punitive, not at all “reasonable”. How does this“prioritize” low income customers? By essentially forcing them to adopt a technology they may
not want? I’ll be honest, that opt out penalty is coercive.
Again, that is not “reasonable”.
I urge you to deny the application for smart meters. That money is better spent
upgrading roads and existing infrastructure, as well as in countless other ways I canthink of for helping New Mexicans.

Dear Commissioners:
Smart meters use radiofrequency and microwave radiation (RF/MW) linked to adverse health effects,
such as tinnitus, fatigue, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and more serious health events such as heart
attacks. Health effects in children include neurological, behavioral and cognitive issues. Smart
meters can transmit up to 190,000 signals per day, more frequently than cell phones, becoming thelargest source of RF/MW in the home.
All radiation causes harm to the body and is not dose dependent . . . and smart meters radiatecontinually, day and night. Many smart meters are often set up as part of a mesh network where datais transferred from one neighbor’s meter to the next and the next, until it is collected at a central point
in your neighborhood, which means that you can also be exposed to RF radiation from yourneighbors’ smart meters. Smart meters are not equipped with surge/lightning arrestors or circuit
breaker protection and are a fire hazard.
The environment suffers as well - birds, insects, and wildlife disappear from the immediate area of asmart meter.
Health is not the only issue; privacy is eroded. Data from the home is gathered and conveyed to theutility, purportedly for the purpose of saving energy, but this information can and is being sold formarketing purposes.
Government should be reducing radiation exposure, not increasing it!
Please be an inspiration to other states and keep New Mexico free of smart meters. New Mexico cancontinue to be a much needed sanctuary state for many who are already suffering.

Dear New Mexico PRC
I am a family physician who recently moved into an apartment complex that has high exposure to WIFI
signals from surrounding areas, and in addition 13 smart meters on the wall downstairs from myapartment.
I am practically disabled by now after just 3 months in the apartment. It started as a slow onset of
fatigue some headaches progressed to worsening irritability fatigue headaches nausea ringing in theears and head pressure. I am leaving the apartment on the 16th of this month.
When I have left and stayed overnight elsewhere or even spent a day outside, my symptoms resolve. It
is a brand new apartment and there are no water leaks or mold issues that could cause symptoms.
I firmly believe EMF is causing human health and it is just starting to become more public, we need toresearch this urgently to prevent future health problems. Meanwhile smart meters should NOT be
installed in the vicinity of a home that is being inhabited

In reference to Smart meters and cell towers:
I live on the island of Maui and have been here for 45 years.
I moved to the city from the country in 2005 and within 1 year developed EHS.
I built my home here then found out that there were 52 cell transmitters within ½ mileof my home. I was surrounded & suffering head and eye pains daily and unable to afford to move.
Spent tons of money trying to shield my home and make it liveable.
Now that solar panels are being installed on homes near me & the electric company uses it as an excuse
to change out the meters to Smart meters.
My home is NOW UNLIVEABLE. The minute I step out of my car in the driveway I get ZAPPED withpainful headaches.
I can not be in my home at all. Every home around me now has a Smart meter and I am being crucified
with nowhere
to go. I will have to leave my home, my family, and my work in an attempt to save myself from all thismicrowave damage. This is MY home and WHY should a neighbor or any company be CRIMINALLLYTRESSPASSING onto my property and destroying my life.
You need to BAN all transmitters in your cities and block any installations of meters anywhere nearhumans.
Remember you and your family are not immune and what are you going to do when a child says I have a
bad headache or develops cancer? Google the dangers of smart (dumb) meters and see what scientists
really have to say about the dangers to your health. First microwaves will start killing all the bees and thebirds. Then the food will stop growing and then all of us will perish. Earth will become unlivable. It is nota joke. Many of us are badly suffering and our lives are being destroyed by careless politicians andgreedy corporations.
If you are truely concerned about your constituents the stand up for safe living.

I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I went to the doctor
repeatedly and had tests and ultrasounds done for my heart. They
couldn’t find any problems that would be causing such distress andpain.
A friend of mine who does EMF remediation came to check out myhouse, and told me I had a smart meter. He put a Faraday cage on it
and I was amazed at how much more relaxed my body felt right away.
The pains and palpitations were greatly reduced.
I moved out shortly after realizing how detrimental that meter was tomy health, and for years now, have had a home with an analog meterand I feel fine and sleep well again.

Bonsoir,
Je suis devenue électro-hypersensible (E.H.S.) dans les 2 heures après l'installation d'un compteurélectrique intelligent (Linky en France) dans mon logement, le 21 février 2018. Je ne savais pas que ces
compteurs étaient dangereux pour la santé, sinon je n'aurais jamais accepté sa pose. Je ne connaissJ'ai
eu des sifflements aigus très forts permanents m'empêchant de dormir et des douleurs aux cervicales.
3 semaines plus tard, j'ai eu de très forts maux de tête avec même des douleurs dans le cerveau. J'ai
demandé à faire enlever le compteur Linky, mais Enedis (qui pose les compteurs Linky en France) n'a
jamais répondu à ma demande. J'ai donc dû quitter mon logement. Je suis restéeélectrohypersensible. Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nantes qui a reconnu ma maladie, m'a ditqu'aucune recherche sur cette maladie n'était faite en France, ce qui est regrettable, car il y a de plus
en plus d'électro-hypersensibles en France. Pourtant, grâce à un traitement avec de l'immun'âge fort,
du ginkgo biloba, des oméga 3 et des vitamines, conseillé par l'ARTAC, ma santé s'est améliorée,puisque j'arrive à nouveau à utiliser mon ordinateur avec des vêtements anti-ondes et un filtre surl'écran. Mais mon état est stationnaire depuis plusieurs années. De nombreuses personnes sontdevenues électro-hypersensibles en France à cause des compteurs électriques intelligents Linky. En
plus, Enedis menace les personnes qui refusent le Linky, certaines ont même été agressées
physiquement par des poseurs de compteurs Linky. Ce comportement est scandaleux ! Quand lecompteur est à l'extérieur, ils le changent sans votre consentement. Celui de mon nouveau logement
est à l'intérieur et je refuse l'accès à mon logement de ses agents.
Bon courage pour votre combat que je soutiens.

Community Solar was likely the rule making entry point for "Grid Modernization". Lots of issues with
what's going on in New Mexico. A marketing take-over but are the risks really examined??
-Scientists are arguing about whether we are entering into a 300-400 year solar cycle...Some aresaying a Mini Ice Age. Grids are not set up for EMP from extreme solar flares or attacks from anothercountry. Lots of people could freeze if we further wireless and electrification.
-Cyber attacks of the grid are a major risk
-Those with Electromagnetic Illness are at risk of increased illness, Opting out still sets you up for
traveling Wireless along the Grid.
-New Mexico and Connecticut at this point need to be recognized as a Wireless Preserve for Biomes
so we can study the effects of wireless on Biomes and have a way to compare what is happening.
Quorum sensing is real and Yeast, Bacteria, Viruses, and Fungi behave differently in wirelessenvironments and this area of research is still being conducted. For example Klebsiella and biofilms incertain wireless environments can exacerbate elemagnetic illness
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34337771/ .
These biofilms and combined pathogens behave in a different manner with different electromagnetic
environments.
-We also have the issue of-The emerging science on Electromagnetic Sensing - The human sensory system. If a human has abrain pathology in sensory areas of the brain and we add more magnetic pulsing pollution we end up
with a chronic inability to heal. Increasingly children are having sensory motor impairments, sensory
gating impairments, and right along with this mitochondrial cell danger response disorders related toall sorts of interplay between exposures of many kinds all at once. When observing live stressed
mitochondrial respiration as compared to normal un-altered mitochondrial respiration ....a differencein the rate of oscillation can be physically observed. Adding electromagnetic pollution alongside dirty
electricity from the Smart Grid has the ability to increase the oxidative load of those who are alreadyexperiencing exposure based pollution. This further exacerbates various chronic conditions; thus weneed to re-examine the way that we live our lives on this planet.
-Loss of function mutations from decades of exposure to magnetic modulation pollution that thencauses electron diseases- I am concerned about electron tunnelling in chronic disease, chronic
inflammatory states, and proton tunneling of the mitochondria.
Solar "Smart Grid" modernization projects are not Smart for a variety of reasons-Risks of Harm from Solar Panels and Electromagnetic illness-Overcharging consumers due to Signal noise on the oscilloscope. Large corporations would install asignal tamer on the lines to avoid the phenomena.
-Security Risks- Imported and could have spyware, could have hardware used to spy and hack, current
geopolitical situation with emerging new trade allies and new currencies G7 Nations and new BRICS
and CO2 Tariffs. A nation of Brain Injured and People with Chronic disease from compounding andincreased toxic loads to our health.

-Frequent Maintenance and repairs required of Solar Panels-Not as Green as thought and Materials required to build them - Demand, Production, and Upgrade
Waste: https://hbr.org/2021/06/the-dark-side-of-solar-power-Solar Inverter Problem: https://www.sedonanomalies.com/clean-electricity.html
There is a pattern of Solar Projects and Grid Modernization coming to states and it's Political andflashy but the reality is all of it is going to harm life and greenwashing by repeatedly saying Fossil fuels
doesn't replace Critical thinking.
Right now we are experiencing threats to our Grids and many are concerned. We must examine theviewpoints of all types of learners to protect ourselves in more ways than one. The expansion of thesame solutions over and over again that keep failing are the definition of insanity. I want you to listen
to this point of view as well to understand the devolution of humanity and how ignoring
neurodiversity is a contribution to devolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZP1wuGBD8.
This interview with Temple Grandin describes a security issue with our Grid, and describes theignorance that is allowed to perpetuate as we value some type of thinkers over others in society.
Ignoring what we are saying as those who are providing the wisdom that we have collected as a wholeof individuals from around the world is ignorance at its best. If we allow the sickness of life we will
have a society that is not productive. No one left to pick up the pieces. Please work harder to findalternative solutions and engage all of us here who have written to you.
Personally, as a mother who has a child with pre-existing conditions. Our child is so impaired from thistype of technology. I do not support the expansion of this failure to biological life on this planet.
Creative alternatives need to be explored that do not harm life. Please keep New Mexico protectedfrom this.
Thank you, Andrea Mercier

I had a smart meter installed without my permission in 2011 in
California by PG&E. I also had no clue about the inherent dangers of
this constantly pulsing wireless equipment until 3 weeks after it was
installed, when I developed severe and acute symptoms that werecompletely foreign to me. After just a little digging and I came up
with "radiation sickness" as the exact medical scenario and put 2 & 2
together with the timing that coincided directly with smart meter
installation! It took almost a year to get them to remove and replacewith old analog meter but in the meantime, 9 months into sufferingfrom the smart meter, my dog and I suddenly both developed extreme
hair loss and also simultaneously were diagnosed with hypothyroidism
in addition to all the other symptoms.
My other acute symptoms included intense and diffuse skin burning
sensations akin to second degree burns, despite no visual evidence orother reasonable cause. Also developed sudden eye issues, severetinnitus and audio disturbances, tingling extremities, heart
palpitations, emotional extremes, disturbed sleep, headaches, etc allout of character and suddenly without any obvious clinical causes anddespite health-conscious diet and lifestyle. My husband also developed
sleep disturbances and moodiness and observed that the grass andplants directly adjacent to the smart meter were failing or dead,despite being located in a moist/ideal area for growth. Previously,
they had thrived in this spot.
I now suffer from a heightened electrosensitive status and get
physically ill when around cities or dense areas of wireless radiation
for short amounts of time, cannot be near a wireless computer or
device, and have difficulty using any phone device other than a wired
landline.

Good evening,
Although I am not a resident of New Mexico, as someone whose life has been turned upside down by
chronic over-exposure to radiofrequency and microwaves (otherwise known as EMF forelectromagnetic fields), I felt it necessary to speak out against the decision to upgrade New Mexico's
electric meters to the untested and calamitous smart meters.
Just a few years ago, I was an athletic 27-year-old in pristine health, and within the course of two
years, deteriorated into a husk of a human being. I couldn't eat or sleep (and consequently lost 15lbs,
becoming underweight); I was chronically fatigued; my cognitive abilities atrophied to the point where
I was no longer myself; my hair began falling out; and most alarmingly, I developed a severely
debilitating heart condition that manifested as arrhythmia, episodes of supra-ventricular tachycardia
that could have killed me had I not previously been in such healthy physical condition. I even presented
symptoms that resembled heart failure.
Doctors ran test after test, yet all they could do was scratch their heads and refer me to someone else.
We tested our home for lead, mold, hard drugs residue. So what changed? During this time, my family
and I had moved into a duplex 900 feet away from two cell towers - and into a bedroom that had
two smart meters mounted to the exterior wall. Incidentally, during the time my husband and I
used that bedroom, we both experienced heart palpitations at night. Peculiarly, after we moved ourbed into a different room, my husband's heart palpitations vanished and mine became less frequent.
After months of denial that the EMF emitted from the smart meters and cell towers were to blame formy malaise, I purchased an EMF meter and took another hard look at the suspects - and wasastonished by the levels of EMF being emitted from the smart meters. Sure, I was still being slowroasted by the cell towers, but the reading (in milliwatts/square meter) on the smart meters was sohigh it surpassed the maximum levels my Trifield 2 was able to detect. I was appalled that I evenbrought my children (whose soft skulls absorb 10 times more radiation) into that room with us.
Since we've moved away from the towers and covered our meter, my physical symptoms havealleviated, but I've been left with PTSD, chronic fatigue, and a lingering sensitivity to EMF. Frustratingly,
my state does not offer an "opt-out" policy for our smart meters, so I've had to cover mine in copious
layers of aluminum foil to attenuate the signal. And I still cannot stand near it for long periods of time
without getting heart palpitations or headaches.
I apologize for being verbose, but I need you to understand how perilous of a decision it would be to
upgrade meters without acknowledging cases like mine. I had no underlying conditions; there wasnothing extraordinary about me.

Reports of injury are also not proportionate to incidences, as so few of us know the source of oursuffering. Each and every American who's being exposed to the pulsed signals of these meters is
suffering the oxidative stress in neuronal interference, and pregnant women and children are
considerably more susceptible.
Please, please exercise caution for the sake of our future. We're already losing the war to small-cell
towers; don't take this liberty away from the residents of New Mexico, too.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Amanda Carroll

To Whom It May Concern:
I was recently asked to email the New Mexico Pubic Regulation Commission about my negative experience withadvanced meters (commonly referred to as smart meters). Here is a brief description of what happened. Back in 2014a bank of 7 smart meters were installed in the condo building where I lived at the time. The same day they were
installed I began experiencing vertigo and balance problems. As time went on I experienced brain fog and pressure in
my head. The smart meters were clearly causally related to my symptoms. I could not opt out since these meters
were connected to other units. The symptoms were bad enough that I was forced to vacate my unit and move back inwith my mom for about a year until I was able to sell my condo and purchase a single family home free from smart
meters. Based on my experience, I recommend against wireless smart meters being installed in New Mexico.
Sincerely,
Charles Wolfe from Illinois

In 2012 we moved from our home town to escape the smart meters. We
moved to a remote location with no cell service and padlocked our analog
meter. We paid $35/monthly 'extortion' fee to keep our analog meter;
however after a few years, BC Hydro threatened to cut off our electricity if
we didn't comply with their order for a smart meter. We were told there were
no more analog meters available to replace our 'expired' analog meter (or as
they term it, a "legacy" meter.) We have been paying an extortion fee of $20
monthly ever since, for the 'privilege' of having a non-transmitting meter.
Possibly it could be coincidence that my high-pitched frequencies oftinnitus began at that time. Luckily it isn't very loud, but it is continuous andeasily noticed in a quiet atmosphere. We use no wifi or Bluetooth; all ourelectrical devices are hard-wired. We have a satellite for tv and one forinternet, both connected to our house via wires. We fought hard and long
against the smart meters, with posters, legal letters, registered letters, etc. to
no avail. There is no opt out allowed. There is no refund for the thousands ofdollars we paid to keep our analog before it was removed.
The only saving grace is that it is on a pole rather than on the house;because of my anxiety that cell towers or micro towers may enter our area, I
continue to pay the $20 fee to have a non-transmitting meter. Sad state ofaffairs.

To Whom It May Concern:
We do not have a Smart Meter at our house in Bosque Farms. We grudgingly tolerate the PNM-supplied
digital meter we have, the components of which includes a Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) within
it that provides the DC power to operate the required electronics of the digital meter.
We are able to tolerate this digital meter and the power supply that produces health-affecting, dirty
electricity transients on the incoming power sine wave, because we have installed, at our considerable
labor-expense, an expensive SATICUSA Filter that we believe satisfactorily removes the dirty electricity
transients the SMPS causes.
We also believe, and competent research has shown, that were the PRC to allow PNM to install a Smart
Meter at our residence, which potential installation we would fight legally, and tooth and nail as much as
possible, that the expensive SATICUSA filter that we have may effectively deal with the even more healthaffecting transients produced, that would allow that Smart Meter to communicate use-information with
PNM — example: TWACS transmission on Aclara-equipped Smart Meters.
That said, I am reasonably sure that all of our nearby neighbors, would not choose to have such
expensive protection, and therefore, I am not sure that the maximum protection from dirty electricity
that we would desire would be in place to deal with the use-information that PNM would allow to rideon the power sine wave.
Because the PRC did not do its due diligent homework to become knowledgeable about the SMPSs indigital meters, and their effects, I have had to provide an expensive filter to deal with an so equipped,
installed digital meter at our residence. Perhaps the PRC would like to get PNM to reimburse me the costof my installed SATICUSA Filter?
Therefore, I urge you, for the safety and good health of my family, and the safety and health of all other
New Mexicans who are served by PNM, to reject any effort PNM may mount to allow Smart Meters to beinstalled anywhere in New Mexico under the jurisdiction of the PRC.
Smart Meters are dangerous to the health and safety of all living things!

My elderly father slept less than ten feet away from a smart meter outside his bedroom. He spentyears on a CPAP device. He broke his hip and our family set up a hospital bed for him In thelivingroom which was farther away from the Smart meter. From then on, Dad never used his CPAP
again.
Our Mom slept in the same bed and bedroom as Dad. She experienced multiple mystery distressing
symptoms no physician could help her with. One day my sister was reading about the harmful effects
of Smart meters and noticed that the symptoms were identical to our Mom's.
When I learned of this, I purchased and installed a Smart meter protective device that looked like ascreen cover that fit over the meter. It was advertised to greatly diminish the toxic effects.
We were all pleasantly surprised that our Mom's symptoms were largely relieved.

When Smart Meters were installed in my town, because I had roof solar panels and asked for no smart
meter, the power co. put in a digital meter. I assumed that my neighbors also had a digital meter
installed because of their solar panels. For nearly 7 years that meter was on the side of the building
about 12 feet from where my head rested while i slept on the other side of the driveway. During thattime I developed tinnitus, trouble sleeping, heart palpitations and a melanoma on the top of myforehead opposite their smart meter. I had to have surgery on the melanoma in 2013, bought meters totest for radiation and only discovered my neighbors’ smart meter then because of the extremely high,pulsing microwave radiation being emitted directly from that meter. The smart meter was the source ofradiation. I persuaded my neighbors to have the meter replaced with a digital one. Many weeks after the
replacement, my continual tinnitus disappeared and I began sleeping better. The heart arrhythmias did
not improve till much later.

Physical Effects of Smart Meters on my Body
Starting from 2016 I began noticing many spontaneous symptoms happening while in my home andout around my town. I practiced a healthy diet having eliminated processed food, junk food alcoholand most sugar and meat for the past 28 years. My diet is for the most part plant based so I didn't
have any symptoms for the 28 years of healthy eating. Despite this, I began to notice frequent
spontaneous nosebleeds. Also, more frequent canker sores, in one instance I had eight sores
appearing at once. I had what looked like lightening in my eyes. Streaks of light would grow bigger
and bigger obstructing my vision and finally leave my eye as suddenly as they had appeared. I got
frequent finger rashes. My thumb would be covered in a spider pattern that would open into cracks
and was raw and painful. I had always been a sound sleeper, and my diet ensured I remained so. But
my slumber began to degrade. I would awaken in the middle of the night trying sleep aids. I felt very
restless. These symptoms came on so gradually I almost dismissed them. But as I created this list, I
realized how many had appeared. I began feeling dizzy and unbalanced with labored breathing as I
worked in my kitchen where the meter was located on the outside wall. Seeking relief for the shortnessof breath I tried breathing in paper bags which helped a little. I began to have heart palpitations andthey were becoming more frequent. My heart would sometimes pound spontaneously. I had never
had dizzy spells before but now I had to sit down when I got them. I was in a low level worried state
not really knowing where to go for answers when a friend who heard my story recommended I watch
the documentary, Take Back Your Power. When I watched this documentary, I recognized all thesymptoms mentioned in the film as the same as mine. I began getting rid of the smart meters at myhome and all appliances whose power source was microwave radiation. I am completely symptom free
today although still sensitive to exposure around town. I'm careful to not drive by cell towers and ask
people to turn off their cell phones around me or let me put their phone in a Faraday bag whenaround me. I don't attend any gathering of more than 4 people as it's a social disaster to tell people toturn off their phones.

To whom it May concern:
I am writing in support of the continued ban on Smart Meters in New Mexico.
I myself was having great difficulty sleeping for several years, felt like I was experiencing a mild form ofelectrocution throughout my body every time I laid down at night. The lack of sleep was causing acutefatigue, with related symptoms of brain fog, nervousness, anxiety, digestive issues, and poor immunity
to communicable illnesses. For many months I thought what I was experiencing at night was
something psychological, but then I noticed when I went camping for a number of nights I slept
perfectly fine every night. Totally peaceful, no issues at all. All the other symptoms went away as well.
When I went home, I immediately had the electrocution feeling again when I laid down at night. I
thought it must be something in my environment, so I started investigating around the room of myrented apartment. I soon discovered that smart meters for the two units were on the outside wall to
my bedroom.
I moved away as soon as I could to a more rural area where I only have two neighbors, and I
immediately started sleeping just fine again. Until about 5 years later. The same thing started tohappen as before -- a feeling of subtle pulsing electrocution, with my heart racing and feeling kind ofyanked around by the intermittent pulsing. Subtle, but strong enough to prevent me from being able
to sleep again.
I had checked both my neighbors houses when I moved in, and they both had regular analog meters,so I knew it wasn't a Smart Meter this time. I got an electrician friend to come out to try to help me
figure out if there was something in my environment emitting pulsing radiation. That's when we
discovered that one of my neighbor's electrical meters had been changed to a Smart meter! I talked
to my neighbor, and the change had been made without her knowledge (my other neighbor and I
both had "No Smart Meter" signs on our electrical boxes, which must be why it didn't happen to us).
I begged my neighbor to ask the electrical company to remove the so-called Smart Meter. When they
did so, a month later, I could suddenly sleep again!
Some of us are sensitive enough to be aware of the effects the radiation is having on us in the
moment. Others may not notice it, but it doesn't mean it isn't affecting them too. Our bodies use
electrical currents. How could this not be affected by pulsing currents (or any other radiation) being
sent out in our environment?

As it says on the website of the World Health Organization (here):"Tiny electrical currents exist in the human body due to the chemical reactions that occur as partof the normal bodily functions, even in the absence of external electric fields. For example, nerves
relay signals by transmitting electric impulses. Most biochemical reactions from digestion to brain
activities go along with the rearrangement of charged particles. Even the heart is electrically active- an activity that your doctor can trace with the help of an electrocardiogram.
Low-frequency electric fields influence the human body just as they influence any othermaterial made up of charged particles. When electric fields act on conductive materials, they
influence the distribution of electric charges at their surface. They cause current to flow throughthe body to the ground.
Low-frequency magnetic fields induce circulating currents within the human body. The strength ofthese currents depends on the intensity of the outside magnetic field. If sufficiently large, thesecurrents could cause stimulation of nerves and muscles or affect other biological processes..."I'm writing to add my voice to the chorus of people who are reporting from personal experiencethat Smart meter currents are definitely "sufficiently large" to "cause stimulation of nerves andmuscles or affect other biological processes."Protect people in your state. Continue into the future without Smart Meters.
I have looked to New Mexico as a place I might someday go if it became too difficult to stayaway from Smart Meters where I live now. I hope you will continue to be an oasis of health andsanity for those of us who realize that there are subtle (and not always subtle) negative effects
on health from all the radiation and EMFs in our environments...

Dear New Mexico Public Regulation Commission:
This has been my experience with a smart meter:
I had a horrible experience when my husband and I went to a restaurant for lunch.
Going in the back door, I started feeling like gravity had increased exponentially.
Even just sitting inside the dining area, I felt weaker, along with little electric stinging
sensations on my arms. We had to leave before we were done eating. When we
went out the front door, my legs suddenly became so heavy, I thought they would
give way! I grabbed onto a wall, and there, right near the door, was a smart meter!
The pain in my head and stinging of my skin was unbearable. I moved away as
quickly as I could and got to my car and drove away. It took about ½ hour before theeffects mitigated to a point where I felt like myself again. Smart meters have no placein this world and should be outlawed!
I have opted out of the smart meter and am going to be charged $15 a month tohave the meter read. This is extortion, plain and simple. Something needs to bedone, seriously, since people are dying from exposure to these evil devices!

Dear Sirs/Madams,
I am a US citizen who has been living in Japan for the past 38 years. I have been aware of biologicaleffects from non-ionizing radiation in myself and other people and living creatures since around 1997,
when I was living in Tokyo. I had moved to a rural village surrounded by forests and mountains(Inokashira in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Pref.) and was farming organically with my husband in 2019, when
the analog meters in town were being replaced with TEPCO smart meters. The effects we noticed,
starting with my husband’s observation of no bees pollinating the melons, were so devastating that I
began keeping a journal.
I typed that into a Word file recently, and it came to 25 pages, including subsequent observations on the
5G rollout, so I will include just a few key excerpts below. It is just a small sampling.
Regarding effects on myself, I managed successfully to plead with TEPCO to allow us to keep our analog
meter. I know one foreigner living in Yamanashi Pref. who allowed a non-wireless transmitting smart
meter to be installed. He became severely sick as a result of “dirty electricity” (transients) and can nolonger tolerate wireless radiation. He tried to get the analog meter back, but they wouldn’t help him,
and the last I have heard, he was living without electricity.
I was attending a religious meeting in Inokashira in 2019, where I would beat the drum. I became toosick to sit by the drum—chest pains and a feeling I might pass out. [Around June—confirmed smart
meter installed] It was near wiring in the wall, and when we changed the drum’s location, I could
tolerate it, but I no longer feel well in the meeting house. I noticed our Sendachi (leader) became quite
forgetful starting about that time too. I am pretty sure it is a non-wireless transmitting smart meter,
because the meeting house is isolated in a densely forested hollow.
Thanking you for your kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Patricia Ormsby(currently in Naka, Ibaraki Pref.)From Sep. 6, 2019 entry:
Because I did not notice any smart meters in our area (Inokashira) at that time (late 2018), and as ofAugust 2019 still noticed analog meters on some of the houses, I assume TEPCO’s smart meters werebeing installed gradually throughout that area starting from late 2018. As of May 2019, all electricity
meters along the street between our house and our field, about 200 m to the west had been replacedwith smart meters. We did not begin to suspect any impact on our field until May or June 2019. We
began noticing changes in bird behavior in April 2019.

In late April, we noticed black-eared kites (Milvus migrans) forming kettles of about a hundred birds
over our field and the rice fields to the west of town. We had never seen such behavior among the local
kites. Shinobu was certain they were migrating grey-faced buzzards (Butastur indicus), but I saw them
too and they were clearly kites, which had been numerous in our area. About ten were residing aroundour field, roosting on the power poles along with resident carrion crows (Corvus corone). Any time wewent out to the field, we could see them all year round. In later April or early May, they and the carrion
crows left the area around our field and never returned. A lone kite might occasionally fly overhead, or asmall group of jungle crows (Corvus macrorhynchos, witnessed by the people living next to our field; aspecies that had invaded our area roughly one year prior to then) would very rarely visit our field for
fruits such as strawberries in June. The part of the field they visited was furthest away from the nearest
smart meter and shielded from it by several leafy shrubs. [Beyond that, they never invaded.]I occasionally hear the familiar call of one of the former resident carrion crows (descending nasal“nargh”) in the distance. In late August, I saw this bird atop the elementary school once, but he has
never approached our field any closer than that since.

From Sep. 9, 2019 entry:
Occasionally one kite will fly high overhead. Only once since May have I noticed one perched on a
power pole near our field.
In June, the only birds residing near our field were barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) and whitewagtails (Motacilla alba). The wagtails departed in July and have not returned.
In August, I occasionally saw a pair of rufous turtle doves (Streptopelia orientalis) on the power lines,
but not often. They have not appeared recently.
This morning I heard a bull-headed shrike (Lanius bucephalus) in the forest. They used to live among
the houses by our field, but I have not seen any this year.
Two days ago I saw a flock of tree sparrows (Passer montanus) in a tree on the west side of the houses,
away from our field (no smart meters in that direction). They rarely visit our field.
Last year and for many years before that, a family of white-cheeked starlings (Spodiopsar cineraceus)
nested around one of the neighboring houses. This year, flocks of starlings showed up, engaging in thecoordinated chattering choruses familiar in urban areas. They caused significant damage to planted
corn crops, raiding and finding all the seeds farmers had planted. They planted again, only to lose all
the seeds again, so they gave up. I had such a scanty spring berry crop that I thought it might have beenraided by the starlings too, and that is possible, but I rarely saw them in our field.
Voles (Microtus montbelli), on the other hand, were very apparent and very destructive until late July,when I noticed a couple of rat snakes (Elpahe climacophora) in the field (I saw them only once.) Frogs(Dryophytes japonicus) and snails also increased in number sharply, possibly due to lack of predators.
Since about mid-August, I have not noticed any starlings in our area.
Regarding insects, Shinobu noted no bees in May. That is when I started checking for smart metersand counted seven facing and adjacent to our field.
We formerly had a multitude of bees and flower flies. A small form of bumblebee (dangobachi--Bombus soroensis?) used to be numerous [and other bumblebees quite common such as Bombus
hypocrita]. I am assuming that some of them managed to pollinate some of the blueberries in April. My
crop has been far smaller this year than last. I was not paying attention to the state of pollinators in thespring, as I was still unaware that smart meters had been installed around our field. Shinobu noticed
the dearth of bees when he set out watermelon plants and no bees came. He tried hand-pollinating, butthey still failed to fruit. Finally, a few dangobachi showed up in July and we got a few watermelons, but
far less than last year and the year before, when I took eight to give one to each person at a meeting.
The strawberries fruited where they were shielded by dense hydrangea bushes from the nearest smart
meter, about 12 m away. They produced poorly elsewhere.

The blackberries were bountiful, though I don’t know what, if anything, was pollinating them. I saw
one species of native honeybee (Apis) frequenting the clover near them. But there were no bumblebees orflower flies and few butterflies. Cabbage butterflies (Pieris rapae) used to be a serious pest, but now few
invade the field. I saw a mob of them on a catnip bush by the strawberries. One or two would ventureout to a similar catnip exposed to the smart meter on the house to the south, but they never stayed there
long. I left broccoli exposed hoping for pollination and seeds, but got none. I saw some damage to acabbage left exposed a little further away from the greenhouse (broccoli about 1.5 m from GH, cabbage
about 5 m) and a single cabbage butterfly near it. Last year, these butterflies were getting inside thenetting and wreaking havoc. This year, hardly none, and I noticed none in the greenhouse.
A friend of ours, Yamada-kun, says he sees bees in his field, west of town with no smart meters. Theseis some exposure to a cell phone tower about 200 m south (I feel the radiation). He says the bees were
somewhat late at arriving.
The Lake Kawaguchi area has blueberry farms that allow tourists to eat all they want for a fee.
Shinobu says he did not see their signboards up this year.

Hi
I had a smart meter installed in Nov 2022, because of my solar pannels.
Almost immediately I developed insomnia, anxiety and heart
palpitations. I was waking up suddently with heart palpitations in the
middle of the night. I got a few shungite crystals, placed large next
to the smart meter box, and few next to my modem, small on my mobile
phone. This has made some difference, but I need to do more for myprotection as I am still anxious.

To whom it may concern
I wish to put on record my bad experiences with smart meters and WiFi. Both over stimulate my brain,
making sleep impossible in a house where either is switched on. In addition to complete insomnia,
they weaken my immune system so that I get very frequent bouts of shingles if I'm forced to be nearthem.
I had to give up lucrative caring work and my home in England because of the huge prevalence ofsmart meters there and their impact on my health.
I now live in a small village in the countryside of South Africa, and have a very meagre income. I had toleave a good lifestyle in a 1st world country, with many friends, for a much reduced lifestyle in South
Africa for my health 's sake, and I consequently curse the invention of the smart meter.

To whom it may concern:Once the smart meter was installed on our bedroom wall that’s when my problems started. For two years
I had insomnia, high anxiety, depression. I could not function in my daily living. I felt suicidal and feared
for my own life. I committed myself to a psych ward hoping that round help, but I only got worse while I
was in there. I’m actually not sure about where their smart meters were. After coming out, this allcontinued destroying my life. I had to be put on medication which helped me. But to tell you the truth I
don’t think it would’ve been necessary if it wasn’t for the smart meter . We also had a cat who lived inour bedroom who got cancer and we had to put her down. I still believe it was from the smart meter.
My prayer is that we can have our analog meters back, but the powers that be don’t seem to want that . I
am also concerned about all the 5G towers and anything connected with 5G. I have a protection seal on
my cell phone from Alterra. I am hoping this is enough to protect me. Please let this be a warning from
Someone who was horribly affected by the smart meters. And they don’t even ask our permission to put
them in. Tell me why that is!!!! I am hoping to get a reply back that you received my comment.
Thank you

Hi:
My name is Anne Harris. I live in Alameda, CA. I am 83 years old.
I developed premature ventricular contractions (a heart irregularity) from the smart meters.
I first noticed something was wrong around 8-10 years ago. I am not sure of the year. I was living in Paso
Robles, CA. I was a retired acupuncturist, but still volunteering as an acupuncturist at a cancer clinic for low
income women in Oakland, CA. When treating people with acupuncture, one of the main diagnostic tools is
feeling 3 pulses on each lower arm. When I treated myself at home I usually took my pulses before deciding
what points to needle. I always felt my pulses and needled myself while sitting on my living room sofa,
across from my TV.
One day, as I was feeling my pulses, my pulse skipped a beat. I had never had that happen before. At thatpoint in time I was around (very roughly) 73 years old. I took my pulses the next day, also sitting on my sofa,
and had the same thing happen. Then I started going to different parts of my house and taking my pulse. As
soon as I got out of my living/dining room, my pulse did not skip a beat. I took my pulses in many different
places inside and outside my house and it did not skip a beat except in my combination living room diningroom.
I tried to figure out what was happening. I thought it must be electrical, and so must be my TV, but nothing
was wrong with my TV. Eventually I remembered getting a paper saying PG&E would be putting in smart
meters. So I walked around the outside of my house to see if they had changed my meter. I found a new"smart meter" on the other side of the wall from my living room sofa, just inches away from where I always sat
to needle myself. My memory is foggy whether I called PG&E at that point in time or later. When I did callthem I asked them to move the meter. They refused. I offered to pay to have it moved. They said no.
So I stopped going in my living room and dining room. But gradually the skipped beats started to happen inother parts of my small house, then when I was outside the house they happened in my front and back yards.
Then they happened in the market near my house, then the park. Eventually it was happening everywhere.
As time went on, my heart was skipping more and more beats. I asked around and somehow found out that
there were others having problems with their smart meters, and that they were going to go testify in front of
the San Luis Obispo County main political body (I forget the name of that group). So I went several times
and testified. The politicians listened carefully and were very polite, but didn't do anything. Eventually I went
to the big PG&E meeting on Smart Meters in San Francisco. There were 60-80 of us who testified, including
me. At that meeting they told us PG&E would be allowing people to have their smart meters replaced with a
nonPG&E meter. I walked out of the meeting, called PG&E and got my meter changed.
By that time my pulse was skipping a beat every 2 to 3 beats, and I was having what I think were heart
attacks. I would get bad pains in my chest, and sometimes going up my throat. The throat pains were themost painful. I went to see a doctor who told me I had premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). I thought
my PVCs would go away once I got rid of the Smart Meter, but they only got slightly better. Within a few
months of having the Smart Meter removed I found a Chinese herbal formula for PVCs only available from
China, which I ordered. It was amazing. After 3-4 months my premature ventricular contractions werecompletely gone. The formula had been through testing at 5 hospitals in China for premature ventricular
contractions. There is an online English translation of that study.
So that was 7-8 years ago, and I had not had a PVC since then until around a month ago. I asked my son,
who manages my apartment building, to check with the tenants. I own the building and all my tenants had
agreed several years earlier, when I moved into one of the units in that building, to have smart meters put in.

I paid the cost. But recently one tenant changed from one of my units to another and they forget and I forgot
to call PG&E and tell them to leave the meter that was there in place -- not to put in a Smart Meter. So they
put in a Smart Meter. So now I am back on my Chinese herbs and they are working but they are only
working when I take the pills. I think the Smart Meter has been replaced. But I don't know how long I will
have to take the pills before my PVCs are gone all the time again.
Please let doctors know about the link between PVCs and heart disease. Otherwise doctors will undoubtedly
not think that there might be a connection between PVCs (and maybe other heart conditions) and smart
meters.
Thank you, Anne HarrisJanuary 11, 2023
New Mexico Public Regulation Commission
Re: Case No. 22-00058-UT
Dear Madam/Sir,
Before approving the use of any more digital utility meters and the supporting infrastructurethat would be necessary for such a deployment, the New Mexico PRC must first examine its
initial decision to reject “smart” meters. That is essential to determine what, if anything, theutility has done to rectify the concerns raised by New Mexico residents and caused the New
Mexico PRC to make its initial decision.
NYSUMA – the New York Safe Utility Meter Association – is a New York State based 501c3
organization. I am its President and a member of its board. We were founded in 2017. Some ofour members began researching and documenting the health, electrical fire safety and privacy
risks associated with digital utility meters in 2010. Most of our board and many of ourmembers developed electromagnetic sickness (EMS) and other serious health issues after the
installation of digital utility meters (also known as AMR, ERT, AMI, "Smart" and digital "opt-out
meters) in New York State. I have suffered from EMS since 2009.
Since 2007, electric, gas and water utility companies in New York have been removing hundreds ofmillions of functioning analog utility meters, without customer consent, and replacing them withdigital utility meters.
It is unconscionable that the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) allowed this andapproved digital utility meters for deployment in New York after testing the meters solely for accuracy
and never testing them for electrical fire risks or radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure. Utility
companies and the NYSPSC are lying when they claim that digital utility meters are safe. Had
the meters been tested properly they would never have been approved.
Unlike safe analog meters, digital meters expose us to fire risks, unprecedented levels of
conducted and transmitted pulsed RFR and Extremely Low Frequency Fields (ELF), which areboth known to be harmful and carcinogenic.
After the installation of digital meters, New Yorkers began experiencing andreporting headaches, sleep disturbances, insomnia, skin, eye and heart problems, strokes,
ringing in the ears, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, tingling in extremities, cancer, electromagnetic
sensitivity (EMS, a federally recognized disability), electrical equipment damage and fires.
Documentation of this can be found in state records dating back to 2010.
There are thousands of independent, peer reviewed and non-industry scientific studies,government reports and military documents proving that RFR exposure causes biological harm.

In New York State, there are no records of complaints about analog meters. In contrast, there
have been untold numbers of reported complaints about digital utility meters since theirearliest deployment. We do not know how many of these complaints were thrown away.
At one point the NYSPSC actually told our organization that it would no longer be posting, in the
public records of pending proceedings, any complaints about digital meters if the complaints
relate to health. This is a shocking abrogation of our rights by a government agency. It
happened right after the following comment was submitted to a NYSPSC proceeding:

On Feb 28, 2017, at 1:42 PM,
PSC Case Number 14-M-0196
Dear Secretary Burgess,I hope you can help me. I was forced to accept the smart meters here in the Bronx. Immediately after installation I
suffered headaches nose bleeds, bone pain, tinnitus & horrible insomnia. Prior to this, I had none of this. My 14 yr olddaughter suffering with headaches & insomnia. I reported these immediate symptoms to my Dr & he ordered an MRIof my brain. At that time my MRI was normal. Symptoms continued. Two yrs after installation, I now have a brain
tumor, narrowing of veins in my head to the point I needed emergency surgery to have a stent put in. My life has
been placed upside down to the point I am so sick I cannot work.I wrote to the utilities to please remove thesemeters, & no response.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Anne ________ Bronx, New YorkIn New York, the installation of digital meters has yielded no consumer benefits and our rates
have skyrocketed. In fact, utilities are already replacing hundreds of millions of digital meterswith hundreds of millions of newer digital RFR meters, turning hundreds of millions of meters
into garbage. How many times is this going to happen? Analog meters last for decades without
injuring customers, breaking or “going out of style”. What is the advantage of having utility
meters that are outdated within a few years? Who bears the cost of those changes? What is thecost of the supporting equipment (which will also become obsolete) that must be installed
throughout neighborhoods and elsewhere to make a new system work?
Customers pay for all of this, and when they are educated about digital meters and the harmthey cause, they do not even want these meters and the resulting radiation exposure, invasionof privacy, skyrocketing utility rates and property damage risks.
Utility companies should be investing in hardening the grid for extreme weather and fire
events, not for metering technology that is dangerous and costly, and yield no benefits. It isoutrageous that the utility industry continues to pursue what has already been such a terrible
debacle.
Personally, I look back over the last 12 years and wonder what I could have accomplished had
digital meters not caused me to become sick. One day, I was absolutely fine – happy, healthy
successful and living a normal life, and within months that was ended due to the pure greed of
the utility industry and tragic miscalculations made by government agencies that should beprotecting us.
I live with electromagnetic sickness every day of my life. I am trying to stop this fromhappening to other innocent people who have no idea that a utility meter can cause so muchdamage.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michele Hertz
Westchester County, New York.
