City leaders champion smart meters in Burlington - Burlington Free Press
About five percent of Burlington residents - most of them residents of the New North End - have opted out of option for the new meters, said Ken Nolan, the manager of power resources at Burlington Electric Department. Recent state legislation eliminating an opt-out charge resulted in a noticeable spike in meter rejections.
Nolan said widely circulated claims that the meters are health risks ignore vetted tests that indicate cell phones generate far stronger RF signals, and over longer periods of time, than the smart meters.
