New Electricity Meters Stir Fears

             New electricity meters was introduced by Pacific Gas and Electric’s campaign facing opposition from left-leaning individuals. There are two significance that those electricity meters may threaten their privacy and health. According to the Obama administration and the industry envision, the goal of installing meters is to help utilities allocate how much energy they consume so they will have incentive to use less. In addition , environmental health campaigners discover that meters will emit radiation like cellphones and other common devices which would be a health threat. In my point of view, I disagree to install those meters because of those potential hazards. Although some research shows that there is no connection between health problems and common levels of electromagnetic radiation , I agree that the meters should not be installed until they are proved safe. Furthermore , privacy is another thing I concern with. If the information of consuming energy is stolen through the Wifi transmission , those information may be used in an inappropriate way. That’s why people feel fear about their safety. In a word , I totally oppose the installation of meters.
