Below are Index and Category Lists of evidence filed by the Interveners in MPUC case 2011-00262 (our grassroots effort to stop the exploitative deployment of not-so-smart meters in the State of Maine). In most category PDFs, there are some items shaded in yellow with the notation \u201cCopy Filed in Docket.\u201d These are documents filed in their entirety (not included here). Unbelievably, CMP (Central [Sp]aine Power) has motioned to exclude all filed evidence.<\/p>\n

Regardless, these 1,400 or so references in various iterations will be a tremendous resource for anyone working on the \u201csmart\u201d meter issue. In most of the Category Lists, peer-reviewed journals are designated by \u201cPRJ.\u201d Also included are the PUC filing dates and filing numbers.
\nThanks so much to Dianne Wilkins and Suzanne Foley-Ferguson for compiling this overwhelming body of evidence. It was a herculean task and, if allowed into evidence, it will help our cause as much if not more than anything else. Assuming of course, the Maine PUC staff reads the materials . . . \u2014By Ed Friedman<\/em><\/p>\n
