Good morning Mr. Peevey. George Orwell had you and the industry you purport to regulate beat by 62 years. His book 1984 was published in 1949.
If you haven”t read it, you really should. If you read it in high school or college, you may want to pick it up and read it again. It told of the future you are creating for yourself and us, your wife, your children and their children. You are leaving behind a legacy of terror, Mr. Peevey.
The decisions you”re making now are probably the most crucial decisions you”ve ever made when it comes to how they will affect the lives of not only this generation, but the lives of generations to come. Albert Einstein said, “It has become appalling obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” Such is the case here and I”d like you to take a hard look at that irrespective of the expectations of an industry to which you”ve become Godfather.
Besides being president of the CPUC, you”re a husband and father of three children and a grandfather. I”m sure that means a lot to you. I”m not prying but I am curious to learn a little about the man behind the desk.
I”m speaking to Michael Peevey the father and grandpa. I”d like you to consider what kind of world you”re leaving behind for those you love. It”s hard to believe that in your heart of hearts given what you know and the facts that surround you, that you would commit your loved ones and the good people of California, indeed the fine people of this country to a faulted technology fraught with hazards.
According to medical reports such as the physician”s peer review of the California Council on Science and Technology on the health impacts of SmartMeters, these devices have been found to cause brain tumors, tinnitus, acoustic neuromas, childhood leukemia, neuro-degenerative diseases, DNA damage and cognitive impairment.
SmartMeter radiation slows motor skills, reduces learning ability, heats body tissue, lowers the immune system and does damage to the blood-brain barrier that prevents toxins from entering the brain. Even if only half of this were true, what kind of a grandpa would protect an industry that shows such little regard for public health and safety?
At the CPUC meeting on March 24, PG&E and its attorneys took more than 75 pages to say show me the money. Oh they said it in legalize, the language of champions but let”s be completely honest Mr. Peevey. It”s about the money. Money is driving this; the agenda, this rollout, this rush to deploy. This skullduggery. It”s about money and greed and power.
