From the Citizens for Safe Technology's section on Smart
Meters and Grids: “…radio waves, transmitting 24/7, will
effectively blanket homes and neighbourhoods with radiation
that could adversely affect not just humans but all living
systems. In particular, these meters have the potential to
affect not only electro-hypersensitive persons, but children
and pregnant women, persons with medical conditions such as
heart arrhythmia, those with compromised immune systems, and
others who rely on medical and/or metal implants or
equipment. In addition to health concerns, smart meters
bring with them questions about fire and security hazards".
BC Hydro intends also to irradiate the Gulf Islands and
beyond with WIMAX —Wireless Interoperability for Microwave
Access. This is similar to Wi-Fi — wireless fidelity —
except that it blankets electrosmog over an entire area for
many miles around the powerful transmitters that are
required to transmit and receive data wirelessly. Sentinel
species — such as bees, birds, bats, insects, and various
plants —are adversely affected by what scientist Dr. Neil
Cherry called a “ubiquitous universal genotoxic carcinogen.”
In fact, reports worldwide cite EMR as the main factor
behind the alarming drop in numbers of many species. For
example, Cowichan Valley bee populations plummeted in 2009
by an incredible 90%, in lockstep with the introduction of
more area-wide wireless internet irradiation. Odds are high
that this is no coincidence.
Over all continents, at roughly similar times, the bees and
birds etc. have disappeared. The only common causative
factor among the many pressures humans bring to the planet
is the simultaneous roll-out of wireless systems according
to many scientific investigations. One wonders what we will
do without the precious pollinators on which we depend for
most of our food supply. Can we have a viable agriculture
without pollinators?
Common use of cell, cordless, wireless Internet, baby
monitors, etc., broadcasts far away from our irradiated
homes and places of work, and is not only harming occupants
but also nature at large. Add to our already excessive
radiation, the obscenely unacceptable levels found in
buildings plagued with these wireless meters, and we will
lose the choice to live in healthy homes.
Regarding smart meters, a source of good info is the January
2011 Sage Associates Report. From the report: “… smart
meters are a part of an overall system that includes a mesh
network or series of wireless antennas at the neighbourhood
level to collect and transmit wireless information from all
the smart meters in that area back to a utility.” Anyone
aware of these issues will know the significance of the
astronomical smart meter radiation levels from various
readings in the report.
Again, it falls to Salt Spring Islanders - chosen with the
other Gulf Islands as the initial experimental area for this
reckless plan - to embrace safe technologies and sustainable
community initiatives. We have a noble history of defending
nature, resisting harmful technologies, massive clear
cutting of our forests and aerial spraying for gypsy moths —
the list goes on.
We have now been given the challenge and necessity of yet
again defending our common futures.
