The Examiners’ Report and the Legal Arguments
On March 26, 2014, three (3) hearing examiners for the state of Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) released a report (and Appendix) concluding that the “installation and operation of … smart meters and related devices and systems are consistent with [the utility’s] statutory obligation to furnish … safe, reasonable, and adequate service.” The report was issued in the form a draft Commission order. Affected parties had until April 11 to file comments or exceptions to the report.
On April 11, 2014, Complainants filed comments and exceptions in opposition to the Maine PUC Examiners’ Report on smart meter safety. The comments highlight the fact that the Maine Supreme Court in July 2012 ruled that:
“[N]owhere … did the Commission conclude that smart meter technology is not a credible threat to the health and safety of [Central Maine Power’s] CMP’s customers.” [emphasis added]
After reading the information provided in this blog article, maybe we can start a campaign to have some personnel transferred from the Department of Interior to the FCC. The people at the DOI seem to have a better grasp on the hazards of radiofrequency (RF) radiation and might be more inclined to take measures to protect humans as well as fauna and flora.
“The smart meter is a canard — story or a hoax based on specious and grandiose claims about energy benefits ostensibly derived from the promise of ‘two-way’ communication with the customer. … These energy benefits have not been delivered, or have been only minimally delivered by the meter networks.”
As electric utilities in Hawaii continue to deploy smart meters across the islands of the nation’s 50th state, a legislative house resolution was introduced on March 7, 2014, “expressing support of an immediate moratorium on the installation and promotion of smart meters until they are proven safe to the public health and the environment, economy, and security of the state.”

On January 28, 2014, Dr. Karl Maret gave a presentation at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, California on the potential biological and adverse health effects from the radiofrequency radiation emitted by “smart meters” and other wireless devices.
