Hello All,

 

I hope you all had a restful and wonderful New Years.  The EMFs did not take a holiday, so they get their own news letter again...along with other important but not televised info.  This news letter highlights the last 3 weeks or so.  Here's to a brighter but less irradiated future in 2015!

Best Utility Idea of 2014 

I had to highlight this article.  They have not completed this process yet, but even that they are TRYING to do it is huge!!  Why not replicate what this town is doing and do it all over the US?  

"To do it, the district plans to seize every power line, transformer and pole owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Co. across a swath of San Joaquin County, either through a friendly sale or via eminent domain."

States all over the US are holding hearings on smart meters at their PUCs.  All of the PUCs have the same verdict in each state...that smart meters are not a risk to human heath, don't over charge, are not a fire risk and don't invade privacy.  All the CPUCs in each state also have conflicts of interest amongst their commissioners. Let's start with my golden state:
