Florida power companies got hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to install smart meters, but these devices have created a storm of controversy across the nation.
Critics said they expose you to around-the-clock electromagnetic radiation that can be linked to cancer and other health problems.
A study last year found exposure levels from a smart meter are far lower than you would get from a cellphone and within safety limits set by the Federal Communications Commission, but it was immediately criticized by doctors across the nation.
They claim the study didn't take into account what could happen when you group smart meters outside an apartment complex or with the other exposures in your house, such as your cellphones or microwave.
