he FCC has 30 days to explain why it hasn’t complied with a 2021 court order requiring the agency to reveal how it determined that current radiofrequency radiation exposure limits adequately protect people and the environment. The ruling stems from a petition Children’s Health Defense filed earlier this year to obtain the information.

“Your home needs to be a sanctuary”: Berkshire residents clash with Eversource over smart meter safety
An Eversource representative defended the benefits of the smart meters, while others reported health issues and alleged privacy claims resulting from the device’s rollout.
Written byLeslee Bassman
March 24, 2026Lee — Following several meetings discussing the rollout of new smart meters by electric provider Eversource, the Lee Select Board hosted a community forum on March 23, hoping to resolve some of the questions Berkshire residents—like Courtney Gilardi—have about the program. The new smart meters will replace the current meters of all Eversource customers in Massachusetts.
Gilardi’s two children suffer from electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitivity, an issue stemming from exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals. The illness prompted their physician to suggest the girls stay away from devices that emit those signals. As a result of EMF exposure, Gilardi said her daughters experience skin rashes, nausea, dizziness, and headaches.
For Gilardi, the problem is that the new digital electric meters transmit data from homes or businesses through a communication circuit, ultimately landing in the company’s information system. That transmission is accomplished through a constant pulsing of radio frequency (RF) signals, an issue for the Lenox/Pittsfield mother who has tried to maintain a hardwired household to minimize the risk of EMF contamination for her family. At the session, Gilardi voiced concern over the safety testing of such devices that lack an evaluation for their biological effects and asked Eversource to offer a program for elderly, disabled, and medically impaired individuals so those groups can avoid RF emissions. “Your home needs to be a sanctuary,” she said.
Eversource addresses benefits, concerns surrounding smart meters
Eversource Senior Vice President Jared Lawrence touted the smart meter rollout as one of corporate efficiency, obviating the need for drivers to go through community streets to collect ratepayers’ energy usage data. Likewise, the benefits extend to ratepayers endowed with increased control over their usage by gaining information in real time as to how much electricity they are using and avoiding a surprise bill at the end of the month, he said. The technology will also assist in power outages, allowing company technicians to detect outages as they occur, even if the homeowner or tenant is away.
Although smart meters have been in use in other states across the country, some users are opposed to the devices and have reported that, in addition to health risks, the units cause home fires and higher bills and constitute an invasion of privacy with the minute-by-minute data submitted to utilities.
Lawrence defended the product as “100 percent safe for our customers.” He countered that the unit would communicate with the system for only about 60 seconds daily but will sound a “chirp” more often to maintain contact with the network in place. The data accumulated by the device is not shared with outsiders unless the ratepayer agrees, Lawrence said, and smart meter communications are made through a single, closed system to prevent cyber issues. With smart meters, entire communities are better off as the site of a problem—such as a fallen tree causing a power outage—can be immediately diagnosed remotely, he said.
Lawrence noted that not a single smart meter of the 8 million devices under his purview has ever been the source of a fire. He advocated that the smart meter contains the same type of battery that is installed in a home smoke detector and the new technology has withstood testing by its manufacturer and UL. Lawrence said his data shows that the intensity of the RF pulses produced by the device “are drastically less” than what is emitted from other home devices.
“I do believe that it’s well within the range of what is considered safe,” he said of the smart meters.
For Gilardi and others, opting out of the new devices comes at a cost: $34 per month, representing the cost to Eversource to send a technician to the home to gather the billing cycle data instead of a smart meter offering remote transmission. A one-time $42 fee will also be charged to a customer who opts out if a smart meter has already been installed.
Lawrence said he supports the right of customers to choose not to have the communicating smart meters in their home but held firm that the opt-out fee is needed to reconcile the additional effort his company must make to retrieve the pertinent billing information. That rationale did not bode well for most forum attendees.
“It’s very expensive for people who are on fixed incomes,” Gilardi said. “Our taxes and even just our electric bills, we’re having a hard time paying. For many people, they’re choosing between eating and having to keep their electricity on or medications. So, $400 [a year] is significant to many of us in the community.”
According to Lawrence, all Eversource customers are destined for a new meter. The only difference in the meter for those opting out is the communication switch that will be toggled off. For those opting out, the smart meter will post “radOff” as its status to indicate the device is not communicating or connected to the Eversource network. Should a consumer deny the Eversource technician access to the meter for the changeout, electric service to that ratepayer will be discontinued, Lawrence said.
Other participants asked Lawrence if his company would consider retaining analog meters, with the ratepayer held to email in the meter reading and eliminate possible surveillance issues or fire and health risks.
Safer technology as an answer
Cecilia “Cece” Doucette, co-founder and director of both Massachusetts for Safe Technology and Safer Screen Time, alerted the audience to the “invisible serious risk” posed by EMF exposure and the heightened RF pulses inherent in smart meters. Those risks reportedly carry long-term effects such as cancer, DNA damage, infertility, neurotoxicity, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as short-term effects including insomnia, headaches, nosebleeds, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, and behavioral issues. Children are most at risk for negative impacts from RF exposure as they develop.
Doucette advocated for safer technology—that is, actions residents can take to hardwire their homes, thereby lessening RF exposure. She countered Eversource’s opt-out fee with data that Vermont customers have not been subject to an opt-out fee since 2012 and pointed to promising pending legislation within Massachusetts that would eliminate opt-out fees.
Doucette’s slide presentation can be found here.
Building biologist Rex Funk, who is also an electromagnetic radiation specialist based in Woodstock, N.Y., offered a historical overview of electric meters that began as analog devices requiring a meter reader to gain data. The technology then moved to battery-powered devices before evolving into automated meters that broadcast to a utility networking infrastructure but require a drive-by vehicle for reading. With the current advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), or smart meters that offer two-way radiation transmissions, Funk agreed with Doucette that this final iteration means “much more radiation.”
When it comes to smart meters, he offered methods to lessen RF exposure such as not installing the device on a bedroom wall, requesting an opt-out meter that does not radiate RF, relocating or shielding a broadcast antenna, and agreeing to upload a monthly photo of an analog meter for a reading.
Funk’s slide presentation can be found here.
Lee Select Board members previously submitted a letter to state officials supporting pending legislation promoting a no-fee smart meter opt-out choice for customers and signed a resolution placing a moratorium on smart meters within the town. However, the latter measure has failed for other municipalities that passed a smart meter ban as determined to be “non-binding” by the state’s attorney general.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tells USA Today cell phones, etc. are a health concern!
The Defender. Children’s Health Defencs News and Views Jan. 26, 2026
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told USA Today that the wireless radiation from cellphones, cell towers and other wireless infrastructure is a “major health concern.”U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with USA Today on Jan. 16, one day after HHS launched a new study into the health effects of wireless radiation — a step that advocates say could reflect a major shift in federal policy.
January 20, 2026 • Updated January 21, 2026
Kennedy spoke with USA Today on Jan. 16, one day after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a new study into the health effects of cellphone radiation — a step that advocates say could reflect a major shift in federal policy.
The same day HHS launched the study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under Kennedy’s direction scrubbed old webpages stating that cellphones aren’t dangerous.
Kennedy said he was “very concerned” about the negative health impacts of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), a term that encompasses both radiofrequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
According to Kennedy, there are “literally over 10,000 studies” on EMR documenting “ill effects, including cancer tumor growth.”

Electric Vehicles and your health
Modern electric vehicles make this shift impossible to ignore. These cars are high voltage electrical systems on wheels. Massive lithium ion batteries run beneath the cabin floor. Power electronics cycle continuously. Antennas handle cellular data, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and telemetry at all times. Large touchscreens glow inches from the driver and passengers. All of this takes place inside a metal shell that traps electromagnetic activity close to the body. People sit in these environments for hours, often daily, without thinking about what prolonged exposure might mean for a biological system built on electrical signaling.
The effects are becoming increasingly visible. Adults report strange rashes that do not behave like ordinary skin conditions. Persistent brain fog that feels physical rather than psychological. Fatigue that never fully resolves. Head pressure. Sleep disruption. Heart rhythm abnormalities. Neurological symptoms that never land neatly in a diagnostic box. Some develop serious illnesses that are written off as unlucky coincidences. These complaints are not scattered randomly across time. They cluster in the same decade, alongside the same environmental changes
RF RADIATION 2021 RULING
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TRUST, ET AL. PETITIONERS V. FCC AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RESPONDENTS
“For the reasons given above, we grant the petitions in part and remand to the Commission to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect against harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation unrelated to cancer.
It must, in particular,
- (i) provide a reasoned explanation for its decision to retain its testing procedures for determining whether cell phones and other portable electronic devices comply with its guidelines,
- (ii) address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure to RF radiation, the ubiquity of wireless devices, and other technological developments that have occurred since the Commission last updated its guidelines, and
- (iii) address the impacts of RF radiation on the environment.
To be clear, we take no position in the scientific debate regarding the health and environmental effects of RF radiation — we merely conclude that
the Commission’s cursory analysis of material record evidence was insufficient as a matter of law. As the dissenting opinion indicates, there may be good reasons why the various studies in the record, only some of which we have cited here, do not warrant changes to the Commission’s guidelines. But we cannot supply reasoning in the agency’s stead, see SEC v. Chenery Corp., 318 U.S. 80, 87–88 (1943), and here the Commission has failed to provide any reasoning to which we may defer.
So ordered.”
PA woman scores temporary win against smart meter mandate.

A Pennsylvania woman won a temporary ruling allowing her to keep her mechanical meter and requiring her electric company to maintain her power while her lawsuit against the state’s smart meter mandate proceeds.
Madison Rose Lucey, a 23-year-old who has a physical disability aggravated by wireless radiation from smart meters, accused the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC) and FirstEnergy of discriminating against her by refusing her request to keep a mechanical meter as a disability accommodation.
According to her amended complaint, filed Nov. 3 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, PAPUC and FirstEnergy rejected her request despite a letter from her doctor stating that she needed to avoid exposure to wireless radiation. Lucey filed her original complaint in September.

Addiction to cell phones = symptoms of drug/alcohol addiction
CELLPHONES: Scientists observe that smartphone restriction for three days can alter brain activity The researchers recruited young adults for a 72-hour smartphone restriction diet where they were asked to limit smartphone use to essential tasks such as work, daily activities, and communication with their family or significant others. During these three days, the researchers conducted psychological tests and did brain scans using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the effects of restricting phone usage. Brain scans showed significant activity shifts in reward and craving regions of the brain, resembling patterns seen in substance or alcohol addiction. There is an ongoing debate about the term “smartphone addiction” (SPA) making an appearance in many psychological tests, as experts believe that this term might create an inaccurate image of the complex emotional, mental and social aspects associated with smartphone overuse. Nevertheless, neuroscience has seen a growing focus on excessive smartphone use (ESU) due to its association with negative physical and mental health effects, and its links to addictive behaviors. []After the three-day restriction period, participants underwent fMRI scans while being shown different sets of images: neutral scenes (such as landscapes and boats), smartphones turned on, and smartphones turned off. The scans revealed that limiting smartphones led to brain activity changes in areas associated with dopamine and serotonin—neurotransmitters that regulate mood, emotions and also addiction. The researchers noted that smartphone restriction can resemble withdrawal from addictive substances or even food cravings in some ways, which was noticeable in both heavy (ESU) and regular smartphone (non-ESU) participants. As technology advances, recognizing how our smartphone usage habits affect our brains is crucial for building healthier digital routines. More information: Mike M.

Lyme ticks love EMFs
HEALTH: Infected Ixodes ricinus ticks are attracted by electromagnetic radiation of 900 MHz Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Abstract The electromagnetic field (EMF) is known to influence functions of the nervous, cardiovascular and reproductive systems of many animals, including ticks. The aim of this study was to test the behavior of ticks in the presence of radio-frequency EMF. For testing, 160 adult male and 140 adult female unfed Ixodes ricinus ticks were used. Individuals were exposed to 900 MHz EMF in the Radiation–Shielded Tube (RST). Ticks were attracted to the irradiated area. This effect was significantly stronger for ticks infected with Rickettsia spp., suggesting that pathogens can alter the ticks’ response to environmental stimuli. These results lead to the question of whether man-made EMF may have an impact on I. ricinus activity and, as such, be a contributing factor to the ongoing changes in the distribution of the tick and its pathogens currently observed in Europe and elsewhere. Conclusions In conclusion, we showed in experimental conditions that I. ricinus ticks sense EMF from artificial sources and that they express affinity toward the irradiated area. Interestingly, this effect was significantly stronger for ticks infected with Rickettsia spp., suggesting that these pathogens can alter tick host response to EMF. It is thus possible than man-made EMF can have an impact on I. ricinus questing activity and that it could be partly responsible for the dynamic changes in the activity. -Courtesy Dr. Amy
