Physicians are increasingly confronted with health problems from unidentified causes. Studies, empirical observations, and patient reports clearly indicate interactions between EMF exposure and health problems. Individual susceptibility and environmental factors are frequently neglected. New wireless technologies and applications have been introduced without any certainty about their health effects, raising new challenges for medicine and society. For instance, the issue of so-called non-thermal effects and potential long-term effects of low-dose exposure were scarcely investigated prior to the introduction of these technologies.

There\u2019s the right to equal opportunity, the right to sustain a livelihood, the right to access all the services and amenities available to non-EHS citizens, the right to good health, the right to live in a safe environment, the right to choose whether to be exposed to harmful radiation and maybe even the right to exist, given the foregoing.

Today Microwave News released an exclusive story <a href=\"http:\/\/microwavenews.com\/news-center\/ntp-cancer-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/microwavenews.com\/news-center\/ntp-cancer-results<\/a> on the upcoming announcement that rats in a National Toxicology Program study exposed to cell phone radiation developed tumors of the brain and heart. This is the same radio frequency radiation the World Health Organization classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans a few years ago and the same radiation the Maine Public Utilities Commission found \u201csafe enough\u201d in their multi-year investigation into smart meter safety. The WHO was clear their classification included all non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation including smart meter emissions, not just that emitted from cell phones. The Maine Coalition to Stop Smart Meters has issued a detailed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/NTP-Press-release-5-25-16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">press release<\/a> on this huge news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January 26, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As many of you already know, the Maine Law Court found against us today. Thanks to all of you for your tremendous support over the years in our effort. While this probably marks the end of the Maine legal battle on the health question, our resistance is far from over. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s Supreme Court decision [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2016-ME-19-Friedman-Appeal-Decision-1-26-16.pdf\">click here<\/a>] in our smart meter case is not unexpected but of course a great disappointment to any who care about this issue-the health and safety of all citizens and to any who still have some lingering faith in the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to make a finding that evidence is credible regarding potential harm and quite another to find there is a legally credible threat of harm-that a credible threat of harm is in fact credible: likely and probable to result in harm.\u201d Huh???<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doublespeak and flagrant disregard for the health and welfare of citizens is why justice will rarely be found within the law and ultimately why laws will collapse. That and perhaps societal greed reflected in the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a long and convoluted road from \u201cshall ensure safe, reasonable and adequate service\u201d, what state statutes requires, to the PUC\u2019s marginalized version accounting for \u201cmagnitude of risk, the probability of harm, availability of alternatives and mitigation techniques\u2026\u201d, essentially a risk assessment evaluation of acceptable harm, one that by their decision the Court endorses. Explain this to the many thousands injured by smart meters and to all those who refuse to pay what amounts to extortion fees to avoid the actual or credible threat of harm from RF exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court has miserably failed the people of Maine, instead relying on CMP supplied evidence from the FCC [FCC exposure standards admitted by even the PUC to be obsolete and irrelevant], Trilliant [vendor for the smart meter project], Exponent [a well-known product defense firm], and the Maine CDC finding from 2010 [a 2-week rush job about which the CDC admittedly knew nothing and that predated both this investigation and the WHO classification of RF as a possible human carcinogen]. The Court ignored when they needn\u2019t, independent testimony from international experts on the credible threat of harm RF exposures at smart meter levels poses and instead chose to believe the \u201cMarlboro Man\u201d that smoking is good for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appropriately enough an excellent UNESCO presentation on the growing EHS\/Bioethics problem has just been released and is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Stein-et-al-2015-EHS-Ethics-UNESCO-reduced.pdf\">linked here<\/a>. Unfortunately ethics remains a subject far distant from the law. We would do well to leaven our rule by the latter with a strong dose of the former. Relevant material is also below thanks to Richard Conrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart meter deployments are equivalent to experimenting on humans without their consent, and if an application for such an experiment were to be submitted to an Institutional Review Board (which is the requirement prior to experimenting on humans) it would be rejected outright. Smart meter deployment is in violation of all ten points of the Nuremberg Code, a set of ethical research principles to be fulfilled in any human experimentation, laid down at the end of World War II.<\/strong> (See the end of this letter for the ten points of the Nuremberg Code).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Nuremberg Code<\/strong> (From the U.S. Dept. of Health &amp; Human Services website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/ohrp\/archive\/nurcode.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/ohrp\/archive\/nurcode.html<\/a> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved, as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that, before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject, there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person, which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study, that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. No experiment should be conducted, where there is an apriori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. During the course of the experiment, the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end, if he has reached the physical or mental state, where continuation of the experiment seemed to him to be impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. During the course of the experiment, the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgement required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart Meter Oral Arguments Heard (again) in Maine Supreme Judicial Court<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 3, 2015 in Portland, attorneys on both sides of Maine\u2019s ongoing smart meter case presented their oral arguments to Maine\u2019s highest court. Each side had 15 minutes in which to make arguments supporting written briefs submitted in the first months of this year. Theoretically there is time to make the arguments but in reality attorneys are constantly interrupted with questions from the justices. While our attorney did very well, appealing any agency final decision is an uphill battle against reluctance on the part of courts to overturn or vacate decisions made by lower bodies. Approximately 20 supporters from as far as Camden, ME and Worcester, MA came to show support in the courtroom. Some rallied outside the court afterwards where they were photographed (see below). It will probably be several months before a decision is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/image003.jpg?resize=656%2C493\" alt=\"image003\" class=\"wp-image-1423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/image003.jpg?w=656&amp;ssl=1 656w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/image003.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Grounds for appeal can be an error of law, error of fact and or a decision that was arbitrary and capricious.<\/span> Our arguments are laid out in our written briefs. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/2015\/07\/remaining-legal-briefs-submitted-in-maine-smart-meter-appeal-to-state-supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/2015\/07\/remaining-legal-briefs-submitted-in-maine-smart-meter-appeal-to-state-supreme-court\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are at minimum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Error of law<\/span>: CMP had the legal burden to show smart meters were safe, we maintain they did not meet their burden and the PUC basically said only \u201cthey are safe enough.\u201d Commissioner Littell admitted they probably do cause problems to those with sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Error of fact<\/span>: Meter testing by CMP\/PUC was unrepresentative of entire meter population, worst case meters and exclusive of other system components like collector meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Arbitrary &amp; capricious<\/span>: The report conclusion was contradicted by much of the discussion, at least by one commissioner.

The decision includes an opinion from each commissioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Littell wrote approximately 62 pages of thoughtful but ultimately tortured opinion. He thought well of our experts,&nbsp;recognized RF sensitivity was an issue for some people and thought those affected who supplied a letter to this effect from their&nbsp;physician, should have a no-cost opt out using a smart meter without transmitter [as distinct from the bulk of opt out customers who&nbsp;retain their analog meters]. The crux of Littell&#8217;s opinion was that while smart meters emit RF and RF may have biological effects,&nbsp;the exposure from smart meters is relatively small [when compared with a cell phone] and does not pose a credible risk of harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Vannoy&#8217;s shorter opinion reflects the typical industry view where he disregarded the evidence and expert testimony we&nbsp;supplied and thought Maine should defer to the obsolete and irrelevant FCC guidelines from 1996. The final conclusion does not allow&nbsp;for Littell&#8217;s no-cost opt out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned for our response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9\/23\/14: Maine Public Utilities Commission final deliberations in their investigation of smart meter health and safety.

The MPUC&#8217;s comment period remains open until 11 April. Kit Weaver of SkyVision Solutions has posted a very fine analysis of the report (read it <a title=\"here\" href=\"http:\/\/smartgridawareness.org\/2014\/03\/27\/maine-releases-seriously-flawed-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>). Our own Dianne Wilkins has this to say about the report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The PUC refused to even look at over 1,300 peer-reviewed, published research studies showing harm to humans from the level of radio frequency radiation emitting from smart meters. Read the transcripts of the PUC to find this truth. Since the PUC had already approved and installed the smart meters before even determining if they could cause harm, it is highly unlikely any of them has the integrity\/honesty or guts&nbsp; to admit they were wrong. Instead they are cowards who will radiate children, pregnant women (the most vulnerable) with&nbsp; toxic levels of radiofrequency radiation before admitting they are wrong. I was there and read all of those studies and heard the majority of the expert MD\/PhD witnesses say this stuff causes cancer, infertility, brain damage, learning disabilities and much, much more.&nbsp; Trust me: throw the bums out, they are corrupt, this stuff is hurting people. Write your congressmen, protest\u2014this is wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s Ed Friedman take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>While not surprising the PUC staff continues to thumb their nose at the law [ensure safety] and show their bias in favor of utilities, it\u2019s particularly egregious they rejected something like 800 peer-reviewed scientific references submitted to them as evidence of RF bio-effects while casually accepting at face value, testimony from CMP\u2019s product defense consulting firm Exponent, a firm that would be hired to assure citizens it\u2019s perfectly safe to leave young women with Jack the Ripper.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>27 January 2014\u2014click <a title=\"Join the Resistance!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/2014\/01\/resistance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to find out about what the Maine Coalition to Stop Smart Meters has accomplished and why we need your help now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>27 January 2014\u2014click <a title=\"go to reply briefs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/2014\/01\/reply-briefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to read about the Reply Briefs filed this month with the MPUC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22 December 2013\u2014<a title=\"summary of legal briefs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mainecoalitiontostopsmartmeters.org\/2013\/12\/summary-legal-briefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a> to go to Ed Friedman\u2019s update about our grassroots case against Central Maine Power through the Maine Public Utilities Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPUC has opened a new investigation into CMP!
