Smart Meters Driving Up Utility Bills For Customers

Vatic Note:   Yup, just got my new bill.  Over $200 for one months electric, and that is a giant rip off, since I use nothing more than I did in the same month, a year ago BEFORE THE SMART METERS WERE ARBITRARILY INSTALLED.  TIME TO GET SOLAR OR GENERATORS AND DUMP THESE UTILITIES.  iTS TIME FOR TESLAR TECHNOLOGY.

ALSO REMEMBER THE G20 MEETING WE PUBLISHED A BLOG ON, THAT RECOMMENDED SMART METERS TO CREATE A GLOBAL SPY GRID ON ALL CITIZENS FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER. THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR JUST ONE REASON, SO "GREED" IS THE OTHER REASON.  TIME TO RECALL THOSE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO ARE ALLOWING ALL THIS.

This below, is our new reality and why?   To EXTRACT WHAT LITTLE REMAINING WEALTH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ENJOY, that is needed to make us into desperate slaves to the elite for their SATANIC NEW WORLD ORDER.   Its amazing just how far they will take GREED, in order to control and rule the world. Add to that the "depopulation" factor for our old people who would freeze to death without heat. 

They need the profits to pay off the corrupt congressmen and senators and probably many in the Justice and court system.  Who knows, but this is way beyond ridiculous.  Instead of raising taxes, they buy into the  utility companies and then extract what little we have left to line their own petty thieving pockets, since now they have leverage, where they didn't before.  If we do not pay, we don't get service, well, that can be a great way to show them just how creative we are.

Lets set a new goal:  To be energy independent and utility free.   Lets make our own energy and prove they do not control the American people.   We, here at Vatic Project, just began publishing "HOW TO" articles on solar energy that we make ourselves, and solar ovens that we can also make ourselves. etc.   They say we are dumb, but soon we will know who the dumb ones are.   Don't get me started...... ooops too late.  By the way,  I like this womans way of thwarting the smart meters.   Looks like fun and uses aluminum foil, that is way cheaper than anything else we could use.  I am going to give it a go and see how it works. Will let you know in a blog. 
   
ANYONE WITH ANY IDEAS, OR EXPERIENCES THAT THWART THESE GUYS, LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS SECTION AND WE WILL PASS IT AROUND FOR YA TO OTHERS.  LETS UNITE TOGETHER IN FIGHTING THIS RIP OFF BY THE ARROGANT AND STUPID BANKERS.  We could not have asked for a better incentive than this to unite us all as a people.  We should thank those stupid bankers for this... UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.  THIS WILL UNITED US INCLUDING THE SHEEP.   ITS A WAY TO WAKE THEM UP HARD AND FAST.  PASS THIS AROUND EVERYWHERE.
  

Smart Meters Driving Up Utility Bills For Customers

UNPOPULAR: Debbie Vancendrock covered the Smart Meters on her Midwest City home back in May with foil, in protest of their installation on her house.
City has highest electric bills in Oklahoma, meter critic says

CLAREMORE, Okla. -- Smart Meters are causing electrical bills in Claremore to jump as high as 500 percent, according to one resident who claims she paid more than $1,500 in one month.
 
Shelly Taylor and her family moved into their new home Nov. 1, 2014 and in one month the electrical bill went from $258 to more than $1,000, she said.
“Our lowest has been $880,” Taylor said in an interview with Red Dirt Report.
Before the Smart meters went in, Taylor said her electric bills were never more than $300. In fact, she said the family has taken several conservation steps, including new wall and attic insulation, the installation of double-pane windows and a five-minute time limit on showers.
 
“I don’t know how much more energy efficient we could be,” she said.
However, Claremore City Manager Jim Thomas said the stories aren’t true and the bills are reflective of electrical use, not inaccurate Smart neters.
 
“Every resident who has come in to see us, and we’ve probably talked to 50 or so, we have looked at their bills and done a comparison to June, July and August of 2014 to the same months in 2015. The analysis doesn’t add up. It’s not as big a problem as being communicated on social media. The bills may have gone up a little bit, but it hasn’t been two, three or four times what it was.”

Thomas suggested Red Dirt Report give him an electrical customer’s name and he would look up that account to demonstrate bills haven’t increased dramatically.
 
“They (meters) are 99.9 percent accurate,” he said.

Taylor doesn’t believe that and neither do her neighbors, some who use candles and flashlights at night to avoid electrical use. Other Claremore residents like Kathleen Bratton-Batts and Charlie Abbott have been vocal on social media about their problems.
 
“What a joke!!! I know we are not the only ones that had a bill over $1,000 and the other two were not as bad but $597 and $547 is still crazy,” Bratton-Batts wrote on the Facebook page Claremore Electric Petition. “Our electric was blinking or going out up to 5 to 10 times a day and the transformer finally went out. They just replaced it a few days ago.”
 
Abbott posted on the same Facebook page, “I’ve been quiet and not rude but I am starting to get really pissed. Just last week a power surge took out my alarm system and during my meeting they promised me they would help. Took my phone number and not one damn word from them.”
 
The outspoken Taylor, a registered nurse, has become the voice of many Claremore residents who are afraid to speak against city officials and their decision to install the Smart meters.  (VN:  Hah, that is why we are where we are today.... in my PARENTS TIME,  Post WW II, if they tried this crap on my parents and their fellow citizens, the entire town would have shown up and got such action overturned.  They would raise holy hell with the elected officials and if they did not respond,  RECALL PETITIONS WERE CIRCULATED AND OFFICIALS WERE YANKED OUT OF OFFICE.  ITS TIME WE GET BACK TO THAT KIND OF OUTRAGE AND ACT ON IT.)
 
“Probably two-thirds of the town has seen an increase,” she said. “We have elderly people cancelling Medicare so they can afford their electricity. Food banks are wiped out because people are paying their electric bills, but have no money left for groceries.” 
 
Taylor claims power surges occur several times a day, causing reboots to occur, which in turn, creates more electrical usage.

“We have one elderly woman who is on Social Security and she had a $600 electric bill,” Taylor said.
 
“She had been in the hospital with colon cancer, so she wasn’t using electricity. She comes home and her electric bill while in the hospital was almost $300.”
Once that story hit social media, community members contributed and paid the woman’s bill plus an extra $150 that was credited to her account.
 
Taylor contends Claremore has the highest electric bills in the state.
“We are 26.6 percent higher than any other city or town and they (city officials) make a 48 percent profit off our electric bills,” she said.
 
Claremore Electric is the city’s public power source, delivering electricity from the Grand River Dam Authority to more than 11,000 homes and businesses.
Claremore residents aren’t alone in their concerns over substantial increases in electric bills.
 
Utility customers nationwide have noticed huge hikes in their bill after a Smart meter is installed, and most are hundreds of dollars more than usual. Utility companies, like Claremore Electric, claim the meters are accurate, but unexplained over-billing has been featured in many reports around the U.S.

Electrical experts suggest residents document usage from the past to show how unusual the bills are after installation of the Smart meters. Residents should also request an energy audit to help demonstrate how the new meter is not reflecting actual usage. Homeowners also should consider enlisting the help of an electrician to help trace the source of the higher bills to the meter.
