The MPUC has issued its\u00a0Examiner’s Report<\/a> (see also the appendix<\/a>). The MPUC’s comment period remains open until 11 April. Kit Weaver of SkyVision Solutions has posted a very fine analysis of the report (read it here<\/a>). Our own Dianne Wilkins has this to say about the report:<\/p>\n

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\u00a0 to admit they were wrong. Instead they are cowards who will radiate children, pregnant women (the most vulnerable) with\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Trust me: throw the bums out, they are corrupt, this stuff is hurting people. Write your congressmen, protest\u2014this is wrong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here’s Ed Friedman’s take:<\/p>\n

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><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
