A California Public Utilities Commission law judge today (March 15) approved a plan for San Diego Gas & Electric customers to be able to opt out of the so-called smart meter program, which has caused controversy because of possible health dangers. The decision is temporary; in 30 days, the commission can approve it in whole or in part or turn it down. Opting out will be expensive under the proposed plan: customers wanting their old-style analog meters reinstalled will pay a $75 upfront fee and be charged $10 a month. Such programs were earlier approved for other large state utilities. Susan Brinchman, founder of Center for Electrosmog Prevention hailed the decision as a good first step.
