For people who have spent any portion of this year trying to protect their health from the rising tide of electrosmog, Smart Meters have loomed large. Yes, those pesky utility devices intended to save money, the environment, unnecessary driving, an overburdened grid, and our economic and energy futures. There are so many issues with the new digital wireless meters that a significant portion of the population would have reason to be concerned, if there were only more information coming from the mainstream media. The amount of advertising revenues provided by booming companies in the wireless and electricity service markets is enough to temper the reporting some Smart Grid developments, including the increasing backlash.
A small sampling of what Smarter Meters has pursued this year:
March - LightSquared gets special treatment amidst interference concerns
April - FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski at The Computer History Museum
May - Electrosmog damages trees
June - Burlington, VT votes on Smart Grid
July - Montpelier, VT electrosmog levels
August - 100 Watt incandescent ban
September - FCC allows more microwave backhaul
October - Analog Smart Meter shows usage with no load
November - Radio frequencies for pain relief
December - 450 Mhz "most efficient for penetrating tissue"
