The Canadian initiative to stop Wireless Electrical and Electromagnetic Pollution
2 February 2013However, the arrest of NSMA President Kim Bendis and board member Jennifer Stahl as utility workers cut a chain locking a fence around Stahl's house so a wireless smart meter could be forcibly installed was just about as dumb a move as I've seen our municipality make in a very long time.
"My plan on this all along is let's get through the whole 1.8 million customers, [then] go back and respectfully have a conversation with those customers [who refuse] about the meters, see how many more take them, and then come back to me with the real numbers and then we'll build a plan," he said.
No smart meters for New Westminster B.C.
But, LES isn't jumping on the bandwagon just yet. "There need to be some maturities with the technology, such as cyber security and standards for the home area network.
Smart Meter or NO Power at All?

Attinson said he did not expect the negative reaction from the community as the plans became public but at the time they had already signed a lease with T-Mobile. "One of the things that is very important to us is to serve the community," he said. "It's why we're here. When I saw the response I felt terrible."
Grand Junction church cell/bell tower upsets neighbors
Last week Lambton Shores Council voted to ask MP Bev Shipley to put forward a cease and desist order for the cell tower planned at the Marina. Investigation into looking into a moratorium on any further towers in the Port was voted on as well. Both passed unanimously.
Yesterday a resident witnessed an excavator being dropped off at the planned tower site; flags were placed on the site as well last week.
We need everyone who can help to call MP Shipley to ask him to follow through on Council's request. There are no other white/beige (low radiation) zones in Canada for people who are ill to go to escape. This is an already protected area with regards to the environment; and because of the sand dunes and trees, Port Franks is already shielded from the cell towers on the land surrounding it. It's the perfect place for a ERA (electromagnetic reduced area).

However, I contacted my power company in New Zealand - Contact Energy - and had it confirmed that smart meters have a transmission range of up to 21 miles.
Sabotage suspected at toppled wind turbine as second is brought down

WHAT IS NEW: This update covers about 1800 new studies reporting bioeffects and adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields (powerlines, electrical wiring, appliances and hand-held devices) and wireless technologies (cell and cordless phones, cell towers, WI-FI, wireless laptops, wireless routers, baby monitors, surveillance systems, wireless utility meters ('smart meters'), etc.
*The BioInitiative 2012 Report has been prepared by 29 authors from ten countries*, ten holding medical degrees (MDs), 21 PhDs, and three MsC, MA or MPHs. Among the authors are three former presidents of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, and five full members of BEMS.
PRESS RELEASE University at Albany, Rensselaer, New York A new report by the BioInitiative Working Group 2012 says that evidence for risks to health has substantially increased since 2007 from electromagnetic fields and wireless technologies (radiofrequency radiation). The Report reviews over 1800 new scientific studies.Cell phone users, parents-to-be, young children and pregnant women are at particular risk.
A dozen new studies link cell phone radiation to sperm damage. Even a cell phone in the pocket or on a belt may harm sperm DNA, result in misshapen sperm, and impair fertility in men. Laptop computers with wireless internet connections can damage DNA in sperm. Based on strong evidence for vulnerable biology in autism, EMF/RFR can plausibly increase autism risk and symptoms. "While we aggressively investigate the links between autism disorders and wireless technologies, we should minimize wireless and EMF exposures for people with autism disorders, children of all ages, people planning a baby, and during pregnancy," says Martha Herbert, MD, PhD. Wireless devices such as phones and laptops used by pregnant women may alter brain development of the fetus. This has been linked in both animal and human studies to hyperactivity, learning and behavior problems. According to David O. Carpenter, MD, and co-editor of the 2012 Report: "There is now much more evidence of risks to health affecting billions of people world-wide. The status quo is not acceptable in light of the evidence for harm." This study covers EMF from powerlines, electrical wiring, appliances and hand-held devices; and from wireless technologies (cell and cordless phones, cell towers, 'smart meters', WI-FI, wireless laptops, wireless routers, baby monitors, and other electronic devices). Health topics include damage to DNA and genes, effects on memory, learning, behavior, attention, sleep disruption, cancer and neurological diseases like Alzheimer's disease. New safety standards are urgently needed for protection against EMF and wireless exposures that now appear everywhere in daily life. The BioInitiative 2012 Report is available at: www.bioinitiative.org on January 7th. I am looking forward to your genuine response. Thank you in advance, Iris Atzmon. |
What is happening in Naperville re: the arrest of homeowners for blocking smart meter installations is a disgraceful, unfortunate black eye on your administration. It will be used as a negative example in other states for exactly what not to do. In Connecticut, our public utility policy is an opt-in with customers, not a fee-dependent opt-out. We already have first generation AMR meters installed statewide but they transmit once a month when called upon to do so by a van cruising the neighborhood. There is a new proposal in CT to go statewide with AMI 'smart' meters now. It will be blocked.
Sincerely,
Quite presciently, the national Government here has taken the decision to not force people to have Smart Meters. This may be, in part, as a result of the EU reflecting on the findings of the Bioinitiative Reports which you refer to below. Despite this, the UK's official threshold for Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Radiation is still amongst the highest in the world (they were, in fact, voted "obsolete" and "out of date" by the EU in 2008). But as you know, however, the thresholds in the United States are even worse - much worse. It goes without saying that those chickens will surely come home to roost one day - and when they do, there's a good chance they will be infertile (sadly, one of the many observable bioeffects caused by sustained exposure to electromagnetic radiation is sperm having 3x less motility and vitality and dying 3x more quickly than unexposed sperm).
In respect of other observable biological effects and impacts from devices such as Smart Meters, it is also worth mentioning that electomagnetic radiation provokes major effects in the brain. The most important of these is the opening of the blood-brain barrier - this allows mercury, organochlorines and other pollutants to enter in the brain, where they can cause various neurodegenerative diseases. We know this because there are now techniques which have been developed which show the causal link between electromagnetic radiation exposure and biological & neurological effects.
PG&E doesn't care, a kid's perspective on Smart Meters
http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?p=9243
Anna Maurer is ten years old. She lives in Sebastopol California. The City of Sebastopol has asked PG&E for a moratorium on Smart Meters twice. Recently PG&E began installing Smart Meters in Sebastopol near Anna's neighborhood and school, despite the city's request.
Smart Meters transmit radio waves, aka RF radiation, (thousands of pulses a day), which the IARC, an arm of the World Health Organization classifies as a 2b (possible) carcinogen, same as DDT and lead.
Anna and her mom have both suffered headaches when near Smart Meters. Many people have reported health complaints since Smart Meters have been installed, on their homes or in the neighborhoods. Sleep problems, headaches, ringing in the ears, heart problems and more are reported.
Anna's mom is Sandi Maurer (EMF Safety Network director) who has been working hard to stop Smart Meters. There is a pending proceeding at the CPUC that might allow communities like Sebastopol to be Smart Meter free, but PG&E doesn't care. They continue to deploy these toxic meters, because they can.
Anna wrote this speech and made this video because she does not want to have to move.
"I want to protect my town but PG&E doesn't care. They don't care that people could get sick from what they are putting on our homes."
When she was 8 years old she talked about how just walking by a Smart Meter gave her flash headaches. http://youtu.be/7lzO6GG9QGg
