the choice is yours and you can choose not to.

Members of the Maine Coalition outside the Supreme Court.
After a two year campaign of opposition, the Maine Coalition Against Smart Meters
received ruling on 27 January in favour of electricity supplier Central Maine Power and the PUC.
In spite of acknowledging evidence of harm from EMR, the Court relied upon FCC regulations,
and invoked a convoluted form of risk assessment stating, “It’s one thing to make a finding that
evidence is credible regarding potential harm and quite another to find there is a legally credible
threat of harm that a credible threat of harm is in fact credible: likely and probable to result in harm.
” Where vested interests are involved, it apparently all comes down to obscure language not reality.

“The electromagnetic radiation standards used by the FCC continue to be based on thermal heating,
a criterion now nearly 30 years out of date and inapplicable today.” – U.S. Dept. of Interior, 2014
