Welcome to Stop Smart Meters! (UK)
Est. January 2012, Stop Smart Meters! (UK) is a grassroots campaign calling for an immediate halt and reversal of the UK's Smart Meter programme - a £12BN white elephant in the making that will empower Big Energy at great expense to consumers.
With the prospect of ever-higher bills via "smart" Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs in store, the Smart Meter programme is taking some big risks with a variety of aspects of our lives and well-being. From the sobering implications of connecting our electricity, gas and water supplies to the Internet -- making domestic supplies available to hackers -- to documented, scientifically-validated health risks, gross privacy violations and a capability for energy firms to remotely control our appliances at will, the "Smart Grid" will come to be seen as a Trojan Horse of our time. The primary beneficiaries of Smart Meters will be Big Energy -- any promised consumer benefits will be short-lived, illusory or dramatically overshadowed by the enormous disadvantages.
We encourage everyone to exercise their human rights and refuse a Smart Meter when offered one. Remember, they are not mandatory - you are lawfully entitled to refuse them. If you would like to help other people do the same, please download and hand-out our leaflets to your neighbours and friends - it will make a huge difference in raising awareness about Smart Meter dangers within your community.
In February 2012, Stop Smart Meters! (UK) was invited to join the International EMF Alliance http://www.iemfa.org
Utility companies are replacing electricity, gas and water meters worldwide with new generation “smart” meters at an unprecedented rate. Take Back Your Power investigates the benefits and risks of this ubiquitous “smart” grid program, with insight from insiders, expert researchers, politicians, doctors, and concerned communities. Transparency advocate Josh del Sol takes us on a journey of revelation and discovery, as he questions corporations’ right to tap our private information and erode our rights in the name of “green”. What you discover will surprise you, unsettle you, and inspire you to challenge the status quo.

Smart meter radiation and health; why are we neglecting non-toxic alternatives?(Pt II)
By Lynne Wycherley. This is the second of a two-part article. The first part is here.

With growing evidence of harm to physical and mental health caused by continuous pulsed em radiation from ‘smart’ electricity meters, Lynne Wycherley asks: have we underestimated risks to heart function and the nervous system? And of interference with embedded medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers? It’s time to switch to over-wire or fibre communications to bring the ‘smart green grid’ of the future to electro-smog-free reality. For more click here
