"HAVERHILL — Should eight of New Hampshire Electric Cooperative's 80,000 members be allowed to say no to having so-called "smart meters" — the latest in use-monitoring equipment — installed at their homes?

That's the question a Grafton County Superior Court judge is considering following Friday's hearing in which three among a group of neighbors from a cul-de-sac in Bristol testified. They argued that their health concerns over exposure to electromagnetic radiation emanating from the meters should outweigh the cooperative's plan to install the devices throughout its system."

Vermont and many other states have opt-out provisions. We just opted out.

I'm sure there will be a way to opt on to the list of suspicious people in New Hampshire.

4 Vt. towns pass resolutions against smart meters

BENNINGONT, Vt. (WTW) — Four southern Vermont towns have passed nonbinding resolution opposing the use of so-called "smart meters," but Central Vermont Public Service says it will continue installing the wireless digital electrical meters as scheduled.

Voters in Bennington, Dorset, Manchester and Sandgate approved resolutions this meet during floor meeting or on the ballot. Smart-meter opponents say the devices pose health risks and raise privacy concerns.

Central Vermont Power spokesman Steve Costello told the Bennington Banner (http://bit.ly/zgbAgA) that the utility has already installed some of the new meters in Rutland County and that everything remains on track to connect about 160,000 of them in time.

The utility says the meters are perfectly safe.

But they say nothing about the privacy argument.
