- Rogers wants to erect a cell tower very near an elementary school in Kaleden (just south of Penticton).
Please attend the public meeting Thursday, October 29th from 5:00 PM at Kaleden Hall, hosted by Rogers. The meeting will likely go on for sometime, so please come as early as you are able. Rogers wants to erect a cell tower on Greyledge Hill / Kaleden 49° 23′ 08″ N / 119° 35′ 59″ (approx.).
There will be a petition to sign. The RDOS Board needs to know whether or not the public supports a cell tower in Kaleden, near schools and residences. If you are at all concerned about the proven health impacts of cell tower radiation, this is your chance to voice your concerns.
- It seems there is no end to the fascination/obsession with Now it can be embedded in streets and sidewalks so we will be irradiated as we drive, sit, or walk.

This complaint calls on politicians, environmental groups, civic organizations, human rights advocates and others to hold the Commonwealth accountable for halting dissemination of fraudulent information regarding wireless smart meters by industry and regulators, and to prevent communities from being misled and saddled with the expense associated with the deployment of harmful, unproven ineffective technology and infrastructure….
Informed health care practitioners trained in environmental medicine who have monitored patients over time have linked the installation of smart utility meters with onset or intensification of adverse health impacts, calling for a moratorium

- ITRON is insinuating itself into solar power, making people and companies believe that minute by minute monitoring is desirable.
To date, Itron’s solar meters have used cellular communications to transmit PV data in 15-minute increments. But as we’ve noted in previous coverage, they’ve lacked direct access to solar inverters for more fine-grained performance data, and don’t have broadband internet connections to pull more data about building energy systems and how they relate to solar production.
Itron’s new Riva-equipped Solar Gateway devices are meant to fix these problems. “This is the evolution of Itron’s solar solutions,” Roberto Aiello, head of Itron’s New Business Innovation team, said during a demo of the yet-to-be-released product. “In our interviews with customers, we discovered they want to connect to the meter and to the devices in the home,” he said.
So Itron’s new solar gateway devices include broadband connections, direct inverter access, a ZigBee radio to pull real-time energy data from smart meters, and Wi-Fi connectivity to smart thermostats and other on-premise energy monitoring and control devices.

- $$meters provide data that allows our patterns of usage to be controlled. I don’t want to be controlled by Hydro or this government.
The data thus gathered offers companies a finer grasp on the customer behaviour, customer segmentation, peak usage and outage possibilities. The companies can manage customer usage patterns through time-of-use pricing that places higher premium on peak-hour usage.
