Nothing dumb about smart meters

RE: Worried about smart meters

"Radio frequency (RF) emissions from smart meters fall within the FCC standard for safety, according to a report from the California Council on Science and Technology.

Smart meters have been the controversial focus of protests, lawsuits and calls to block deployments from consumers concerned about the possible health hazards smart meters could pose.

The council report made it very clear RF emission levels from smart meters are MUCH lower than for common household electronics like microwaves and cell phones in terms of thermal (tissue heating) health impacts"

The operative phrase here is"much lower."

How does my water meter work, how often is it read, and can I read it?

"Your meter is a Neptune R900 radio transmitted water meter. The meter reader drives down your street, or nearby, and information automatically transmits to a Mobile Reader located in the meter reader's car."

Water meter information is "Transmitted" inside my home   ???  Oh No

Many homes already have Wi-Fi routers in them constantly "transmitting" and whose home doesn't have a "cordless phone" spreading those radio waves throughout ?

How will we ever survive ?
