**Correction** - You say use wired headset with cell phone. Best headset is airtube, it's wired, but different than usual headphones with cords, those may (I've heard this but am not certain), channel more radiation up to your head. But "Airtube" headsets greatly minimize radiation that reaches your brain. Defendershield is supposed to be good, also a company called Less EMF may have airtube headsets.
Yep, quite literally a plastic dummy (SAM) and very short tests was used to determine the specific absorption rate for cell phones. #WeAreNotSAM is a project of someone who worked in the industry and was fed up - https://wearenotsam.com/
And for what wireless infrastructure emits, like cellular transmitters outside windows, and probably the same tests determined the limit for smart meters (but I'm not certain) - studies of rats and monkeys from the 1980's, (yes, 1980's). These studies were about one hour in duration. In other words, clearly incapable of discerning long term effects.
The animals had been trained to push a lever for food, and were food deprived at the beginning of the study. They were exposed to increasing levels of radiation, and researchers noted the levels at which they became so disoriented they could no longer push the levers. That level was divided by 50, to become the radiation guidelines for the general public - with absolutely no consideration of long term effects of constant, cumulative exposure.
I have disabled wi-fi on my router, and connect all my computers to it via ethernet. It's a bit of work to bring cables to various rooms in the house, but the result is a more reliable network (no dropouts or lags due to radio signals having trouble getting through walls or to distant rooms), and better security. But most people these days will be unable to go this far because of their insistence on using crippled devices like "smart" phones or tablets, which don't have ethernet ports.
Today, I sent each of the seven a follow-up email (since I did not yet get a reply):
I hope this email finds you well. I am following up on my previous message regarding the Edwards family and their unjust predicament concerning the installation of a "smart" meter by Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) in Rexburg, Idaho.
I highlighted in my previous email that Idaho Falls Power and Fall River Electric Cooperative offer opt-outs for "smart" meter installations, demonstrating that it is possible to accommodate the concerns of electromagnetically sensitive individuals. However, it seems that Rocky Mountain Power has not extended the same courtesy to the Edwards family. This disparity is troubling and requires immediate attention.
I urge you once again to find a compassionate and reasonable solution that allows the Edwards family to exercise their right to opt out of the "smart" meter installation. By granting them this accommodation, we demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of every member of our community.
The Edwards family has already made significant sacrifices, depleting their retirement savings to create a safe home environment for Esra's unique needs. It is only fair and just that their efforts are respected and supported.
I kindly request your immediate attention and intervention in this matter. Your prompt action can make a significant difference in the lives of the Edwards family, reaffirming our community's commitment to serving the needs of all its members.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await your response and trust that you will make the right decision in ensuring the well-being of this remarkable family.
Oh, Stewart. Thank you for this humble and thoughtful letter. It brings tears to my eyes to know that we are cared about and known even by people we have never met.
Thank you for contacting my office regarding your concern for your friends, Peggy and Sam Edwards and their daughter. Your comments are very important, and I will have my staff look into it. I appreciate your perspective on how I may best represent Idahoans. There is much work to be done and I am honored to serve as Idaho’s Attorney General.
If you have any further questions or if my office can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

It's possible to have wired internet, it's possible to have landlines, but I hear you, wireless is here to stay for the foreseeable future. But smart meters don't need to be wireless, and should at least have an opt out possibility. And if there was more emphasis on wired connections, when possible, and some but less wireless, there wouldn't be a need to saturate everywhere on the planet with close range wireless transmitters.
My local utility, Pepco, is opt-in and my family skipped it about 10 years ago, as my mother was elderly (over 90) and we needed some a/c during the summer for her to be moderately comfortable. (She got cold easily, so we did not blast a/c, but needed it on very hot days.) I think Pepco is still opt-in. I see occasional notes asking people to sign up, but they are not too extensive. (Possibly I have mentally tuned them out.) Metro Washington DC is fairly liberal (sarc), but no oppressive requests for smart meters, that I know of.
Good luck in Idaho! Note I did not discuss EMF waves - just that the family did not want power turned off at inopportune times. (Possibly that EMF waves are damaging is a bridge too far for a utility company.)
Dear Sir,
The Sam and Peggy Edwards family in Rexburg Idaho has a special needs daughter, Esra, who has spina bifida and autism. They moved to Idaho and built a house to help Esra, including a ceiling track with harness and hook that can lift her out of bed into her wheelchair.
Smart meter electricity turns off when ever there is a high power load or a lack of power produced. The Edwards family does not want a smart meter as it may turn off power when they need it for their daughter.
Rocky Mountain Power has no opt out for a smart meter. Pepco in metro Washington DC has an opt-in system; only people who are concerned about environment and want to save money and feel they can survive safely sign up for the smart meter. People with elderly or special needs family do not.
Out west, both Idaho Falls Power and Fall River Coop have opt-outs. Why not Rocky Mountain Power? Let the Edwards family opt out.
The Edwards family does not want power turned off by an automated system at odd times that they cannot control. Please let them opt-out of the smart meter. Offer the opt-out to other families and customers also. Most other utilities in the United States offer an op-out or only offer smart meters on an opt-in basis.
Sorry to get my information mixed up. I corrected the seven letters I had sent yesterday.
Possibly a solar system with battery back-up that is off-grid might be the most free-thinking and independent option. If you lived far away on a farm or ranch, it may be goof to go off-grid.
However, it you live in a town, with existing utility service, it might be cheaper to ask the utility for the chance to OPT OUT of smart meters. Paying $75 up-front and $14/month is cheaper than buying an off-grid solar system. Plus on the chance power goes out due to a bad snow storm, say, utility crews will be rushing to restore power to you and neighbors (as food will spoil in refrigerators without power after a few hours). You and neighbors can telephone the utility and check on their progress.
I think you said you checked on an opt-out program for smart meters and it was not offered by Rocky Mountain. With this letter writing campaign, the utility management may change their mind. Some very large Investor-Owned Utilities do offer the opt-out program, so there is a precedent.
I sent a revision to all seven utility and regulatory officers.
Dear Sir -
In my email yesterday, I accidentally mixed up two Pepco energy savings programs - 1) Energy Rewards savings where customers may OPT IN to have their power occasionally reduced down and receive billing credits to save money and 2) Smart Meters which are a digital meter, where Pepco offers an opt-out if the customer wants to skip the smart meter, at a cost of $75 upfront and $14/month.
The Sam Edwards family would like to opt out of smart meters because their daughter is in frail health.
Please note that Pepco is a large investor-owned utility. It is not a co-op or municipal utility. Many IOUs as well as municipal and co-op utilities offer the chance to opt out of the Smart Meter program. Please extend this chance to the Edwards family and those other of your customers who might prefer it.
I am mistaken. The Pepco program where we did not enroll is called Energy Wise rewards. See https://energywiserewards.pepco.com/md/ . We have three small nail-holes in back of our house on the siding, under kitchen window, where a meter was briefly installed and I had them remove it. This is a Pepco voluntary program, for which customer receives credits.
Pepco says: "Pepco will install a web-programmable thermostat or outdoor switch at your home and cycle it during peak-use times in exchange for bill credits. During the “peak demand” times of summer, Energy Wise Rewards works to reduce electricity usage by “cycling” central air conditioners or heat pumps throughout the region, managing energy use, and reducing the need for costly, new electrical infrastructure." {Infrastructure = power plants.]
My latest bill says," Your smart electric meter is read wirelessly." Maryland PUC switched to smart meters about 2015 or 2016. For Pepco (and other Maryland utilities?), the Smart Meter Opt Out fee is $75 upfront and $14.month continuously.
I opted out of a smart meter about 15 years ago in California. It was PGE to keep the meter off of my daughters bedroom wall. i jumped through their hoops and got the opt out but they still bugged me for about a year. Repeatedly, I would get calls to confirm a time that the tech could come and install the smart meter,,,had to explain I had an official opt our. I think I finally just told them to fuck off already.
Thank you Peggy I am honored. Sorry about the taboo language at the end,,,just being silly. And thank you for fighting for what's right. Blessings to you and your family.
Toby, this is all about control and restricting usage as needed. This is another aspect of the panopticon control grid that tptb are erecting around us, day by day, year by year. A spirit of fear of death is motivating these measures--it is not ecological or otherwise. TPTB will argue they are just doing so for the good of humanity. It is the fruit of totalitarian thinking.
Solar power systems can be 1) off-grid or 2) connected to utility grid. When connected to utility grid, you can sell the utility any excess power you generate and do not use (net metering) and you can buy power from the grid if your solar power system is under-producing and you need back-up power. Net metering controversy is whether the price at which you sell electricity to the utility is wholesale [lower] or retail [higher]. (Some utilities pay retail, and some wholesale.)
For an off-grid system, the vendor might slightly over-size the system, so you will generally have enough power and do not need a back-up and he will have batteries or other back-up to store power for night or rare occasions when sun doesn't shine much.
People connected to the grid sometimes/often? do not have battery back-up - their solar panels on the roof contribute to producing clean energy and helping the environment, but it is not their sole source of power.
You probably want to go off-grid? As a backup, you might buy a diesel power generator. It would not get used much. Or possibly you do not need a backup? During a heavy snow, the utility power might go out - so then a diesel generator is a good back-up (for regular utility customers [without any solar system]). Possibly in rural areas, there are propane back-ups? Maybe, in 2023, some environmental company has figured a "clean," non fossil fuel back-up system for solar photovoltaics? Geothermal or a heat pump?
That is such a kind idea, Alice♥️. Any help would be a blessing. We have two quotes from the commercial federally subsidized solar vendors. One estimate was $80k and the other $100k. We were told we could not be completely off-grid with this scenario because when the power goes out we would need to shut off our panels (I do not have the tech jargon) because our power generation would put the line workers in jeopardy. So, we now are thinking pursuing installing them privately would cut the cost by half most likely. It’s still a lot though.
Be careful. Solar systems also often generate harmful EMR. Some don't, but many do. You need to really check that out with a biologic engineer who knows this stuff.
You know what’s crazy is if you have an RV & Lithium batteries to store power from the solar panels, & controllers - you can be completely off grid. There are RV’s making enough power for other RV’s to plug in. The batteries are maybe $3K for that setup.
So why is a home so expensive? In CA you can’t even do this - they require being locked into the energy grid. But if you’re not well then… no need to worry about those line men.
To be honest I think all of that’s an excuse. They say the same thing about running generators in your home which is ridiculous because it does not go backwards in the powerlines. This whole electricity thing is just to control us anyway. Who knows maybe this it could end up being an off grid blessing for you!!!
Possibly you are not thinking this through (no worry about those line men)?
During a bad rain storm, when a tree falls down and knocks out power lines in a neighborhood, the line men fix the lines and restore power. A line man can be electrocuted and die if a random source is generating power and sending it though distribution lines when the main power source is off and linemen believe all power is off. Mom's first cousin was electrocuted and killed as a lineman during an accident (1940s).
If Edwards family goes off-grid, this is not a problem. If they stay connected to the grid for back-up power, then they need to abide by the rules and keep everyone safe.
We are not in the 1940’s. Homes on generators are not sending currents back through the lines.
Homes on solar possibly could it depends how it’s configured. If the energy is going both ways, it could. In CA it’s required to do it this way (send it back & not be completely off grid.) I don’t know about ID.
My point was WHY??? The answer is they are trying to control us - period. We must stop every attempt for tyranny to rule no matter what disguise it’s dressed in.
Meanwhile this family has a right to safe energy & we should all want that for them & for all of us.
People with photovoltaic solar panels on the roof who sell excess power to the utility under net metering DO send electricity though the power lines. This is sometimes advertised as a benefit of installing solar - the opportunity to earn payments by selling power back to the utility.
When power is out, the grid-connected systems must be turned off. No one wants to electrocute a lineman/woman who is trying to restore power to a neighborhood. The Edwards family probably wants to go off-grid. Then they do not have to turn off their solar system. However, they will not have back-up power from the grid. If they have good battery or other storage, lack of back-up power from the grid may not matter to them.
In CA you are required to stay plugged into it - that’s what I meant. And until recently you could not even have a battery back up!!
Trust me I live in an area where they shut the electricity off multiple times and started several fires because of it - some devastating.
My point is the fight is the entire thing - it’s greater than one house. Because behind everything you just said is control by government and that’s an issue.
Here I hope they are able to actually go off grid. Could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
I only wrote to one of the people on your list, and slightly tweaked it, but this is the response I received:

Can we start a Go Fund Me for a solar power system for this family so they can get off the grid?
Solar power systems can be 1) off-grid or 2) connected to utility grid. When connected to utility grid, you can sell the utility any excess power you generate and do not use (net metering) and you can buy power from the grid if your solar power system is under-producing and you need back-up power.

Possibly in rural areas, there are propane back-ups? Maybe, in 2023, some environmental company has figured a "clean," non fossil fuel back-up system for solar photovoltaics? Geothermal or a heat pump?
Good luck!
That is such a kind idea, Alice♥️. Any help would be a blessing. We have two quotes from the commercial federally subsidized solar vendors. One estimate was $80k and the other $100k. We were told we could not be completely off-grid with this scenario because when the power goes out we would need to shut off our panels (I do not have the tech jargon) because our power generation would put the line workers in jeopardy. So, we now are thinking pursuing installing them privately would cut the cost by half most likely. It’s still a lot though.
Be careful. Solar systems also often generate harmful EMR. Some don't, but many do. You need to really check that out with a biologic engineer who knows this stuff.
You know what’s crazy is if you have an RV & Lithium batteries to store power from the solar panels, & controllers - you can be completely off grid. There are RV’s making enough power for other RV’s to plug in. The batteries are maybe $3K for that setup.
So why is a home so expensive? In CA you can’t even do this - they require being locked into the energy grid. But if you’re not well then… no need to worry about those line men.
To be honest I think all of that’s an excuse. They say the same thing about running generators in your home which is ridiculous because it does not go backwards in the powerlines. This whole electricity thing is just to control us anyway. Who knows maybe this it could end up being an off grid blessing for you!!!
Possibly you are not thinking this through (no worry about those line men)?
During a bad rain storm, when a tree falls down and knocks out power lines in a neighborhood, the line men fix the lines and restore power. A line man can be electrocuted and die if a random source is generating power and sending it though distribution lines when the main power source is off and linemen believe all power is off. Mom's first cousin was electrocuted and killed as a lineman during an accident (1940s).
If Edwards family goes off-grid, this is not a problem. If they stay connected to the grid for back-up power, then they need to abide by the rules and keep everyone safe.
We are not in the 1940’s. Homes on generators are not sending currents back through the lines.
Homes on solar possibly could it depends how it’s configured. If the energy is going both ways, it could. In CA it’s required to do it this way (send it back & not be completely off grid.) I don’t know about ID.
My point was WHY??? The answer is they are trying to control us - period. We must stop every attempt for tyranny to rule no matter what disguise it’s dressed in.
Meanwhile this family has a right to safe energy & we should all want that for them & for all of us.
People with photovoltaic solar panels on the roof who sell excess power to the utility under net metering DO send electricity though the power lines. This is sometimes advertised as a benefit of installing solar - the opportunity to earn payments by selling power back to the utility.
When power is out, the grid-connected systems must be turned off. No one wants to electrocute a lineman/woman who is trying to restore power to a neighborhood. The Edwards family probably wants to go off-grid. Then they do not have to turn off their solar system. However, they will not have back-up power from the grid. If they have good battery or other storage, lack of back-up power from the grid may not matter to them.
In CA you are required to stay plugged into it - that’s what I meant. And until recently you could not even have a battery back up!!
Trust me I live in an area where they shut the electricity off multiple times and started several fires because of it - some devastating.
My point is the fight is the entire thing - it’s greater than one house. Because behind everything you just said is control by government and that’s an issue.
Here I hope they are able to actually go off grid. Could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
I only wrote to one of the people on your list, and slightly tweaked it, but this is the response I received:

Good for them. They are harmful. It's really stating to look like everything $MART, is about money, control and surveillance; not to mention harmful to the environment! But the 'Climate Change Green Rants', conveniently leave that out! Not to mention the 5G.
