As the Biden Administration looks to combat climate change, it must examine independent science to achieve that goal with public health in mind. Josh Brumberger and David Duong’s Opinion from December 19, “How the pandemic can save us from climate change,” says the solution to the pandemic and climate change is installing “smart meters.” Is this correct? Smart meters are two-way radios which transmit and receive data using wireless radiation, also known as radiofrequency radiation (RFR). (For a good overview of RFR, search for this PBS show: “Burt Wolf: The Danger of RF Radiation.”) RFR has been shown to cause biological harm in thousands of peer-reviewed studies, many of which are recent. Let’s look at one of them: the 10-year, $30 million cellphone study by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) of the National Institutes of Health, the gold standard for laboratory science. In an important 15-minute video, Dr. Ron Melnick, the NTP study’s designer, a retired senior toxicologist, explains the study that found low-level, non-thermal radiofrequency radiation causes cancer and DNA damage in rats. These findings were unexpected. Our government released cellphones to the public before doing the research. Furthermore, a study by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy found the same results, bolstering its validity. The video shows a scientist telling the truth: that releasing products before adequate safety testing is unethical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJfK3gbkmMk Yet the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), our government watchdog, hasn’t updated safety standards for radiofrequency radiation (RFR) since 1996. According to a publication by Harvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, the FCC is captured by the industry it is supposed to regulate. For details, search on the terms “Norm Alster FCC Captured Agency” and click the PDF. Sources misinformed by the FCC will tell you that wireless radiation is safe. But if you investigate, the FCC’s argument fails. Independent science, free of vested interests, shows biological damage including insomnia, metabolic disruption, cancer, DNA breaks, infertility, headaches, flushing, heart problems, decreased learning, memory problems, irritability, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and oxidative stress. RFR exposure increases with each tower, antenna, meter, device, or wearable which emits it. If it were visible, we would find ourselves enveloped in thick electrosmog. Smart meters emit—24/7—polarized pulses, unlike radiation found in nature. Smart meters are placed on homes’ outside walls, which the RFR penetrates. In New Hampshire, good government allowed an inquiry into checking sources to find the best science. This is what reasonable people found. On November 1, the New Hampshire Commission to Study the Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology released its final report to Governor Sununu. The majority supported 15 recommendations, including reducing public exposure to cellphones and wireless devices, replacing Wi-Fi in schools and libraries with superior wired connections, establishing radiation-free zones, and protecting trees and bees. https://ehtrust.org/new-hampshire-state-report-on-health-and-environmental-effects-of-5g-and-wireless-radiation/ Most medical doctors don’t know how to prevent, diagnose, or treat the illnesses caused by Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs). (RFR is an EMF.) Fortunately, Continuing Medical Education credits are available to medical professionals in an upcoming (January 28-31) EMF Medical Conference because illness from EMFs is rapidly growing: https://mdsafetech.org/2020/09/12/emf-medical-conference-2021/ Not only is it unhealthy, but wireless technology exacerbates climate change. An Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) publication asserts: "Wireless technologies will continue to consume at least 10 times more power than wired technologies when providing comparable access rates and traffic volumes." Just above the Conclusion, the article indicates hard wiring with fiber-optics to the premises is the most energy efficient solution for broadband, video, and other communications. https://people.eng.unimelb.edu.au/rtucker/publications/files/energy-wired-wireless.pdf Especially now, the rollout of this ill-conceived and opportunistic program will jeopardize physical and mental health. Smart meters add an invisible environmental toxin to the air in a pandemic. The solution is less radiofrequency radiation, not more, by using wired technology. It’s faster, more reliable, and safe.

You’ll be told, by sources misinformed by the FCC, that wireless radiation is harmless, but independent science, free of vested interests, shows biological damage including insomnia, metabolic changes, cancer, DNA breaks, infertility, cognitive impairment, memory problems, and depression. While the FCC’s outdated standards limit only heating from RFR, thousands of studies show other biological effects. Not every study shows harm; but these do not cancel out studies that do. There are over 30K studies on EMFs, 10K in just the last 5 years. Hundreds of these point to serious harm from RFR. https://www.emf-portal.org/en To learn more about why we must reduce wireless radiation, and for practical solutions, use this site by Cece Doucette.

This should be considered and discussed by all groups seeking a safer, healthier planet and people. This problem is already affecting folks here in Rhode Island - see below re: my conversation with Bob Cooper of the Governor's Commission on Disabilities, a few years back. I hope to bring this up especially with our RI Rights group, since we are especially focused on protecting people's right to safety from wrongful and dangerous intrusion on their lives, health and well-being. NOTE: The first "low-hanging fruit is the right to refuse a "Smart Meter", a totally unneeded, job-killing and people-sickening thing which is facing rightful resistance around the country. A simple action being taken by places around the country - require a Free opt-out - don't let utilities charge for your right to say "No." A PREVIOUS IMPORTANT LETTER TO LOCAL NEWSPAPERS Hi Sheila and Liberty, Both of you were kind enough to allow me to add your names to the letter I submitted to the South County Independent as well as the Narragansett Times newspapers. I sent them an earlier version, but the Independent said it was too long, at over 1000 words. So I whittled away at it and sent this 447 word revision, which actually might be better, as it is more focused on the FCC as the crux of the problem. I hope it is something you are happy with signing. I gave it my English major best. Please see it below.
