We are Suing the CPUC!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On June 7th, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) denied the EMF Safety Network Rehearing Request on the grounds that, "the evidence does not support re-opening a review of Smart Meters." 

 

Because our Rehearing Request is denied we can now sue the CPUC for failing to address serious Smart Meter issues, including health and safety impacts, and FCC compliance.  

The CPUC has buried it's head in the sand! 
The CPUC rubber stamped PG&E claims of Smart Meter safety!

Although no new evidence can be added to the lawsuit in Appeals court, this lawsuit is important because it could force the CPUC to address the issues it has been ignoring. 
 
The CPUC has NEVER addressed the health and safety impacts of Smart Meters. They've only provided an opt out...with a penalty!  

 

We need to raise $25,000 for legal costs ASAP! 
 
James Hobson of Best, Best and Krieger will represent us in the California First Court of Appeals. We will file this lawsuit by the July 11 deadline.

If every customer on PG&E's delay list would donate 15 cents, we'd have it covered! Considering we probably won't reach those 177,000 people, if people donate $10-$100 this will help! Please give whatever amount you can.

The results of suing the CPUC, if we win, will be that the Court will mandate the CPUC to address our original EMF Safety Network Application which includes: 
  1. Re-opening both of the Smart Meter proceedings (D.06-07-027 and D.09-03-026)
  2. Evidentiary hearings on radiation health, environmental, and safety impacts
  3. Review of actual Smart Meter program performance
  4. An independently prepared RF Emissions Study 
Your contributions will enable us to step up and challenge the CPUC!! 

Thanks to all of you who've already given to this cause. Legal costs are ongoing, as we are still participating in the CPUC opt-out proceeding, so any amount you can contribute is a HUGE help!

 

We believe that whatever the CPUC rules for PG&E, they will eventually apply to other utilities! So, please support our efforts, even if you are a customer of another California utility!!

Inching towards justice!  Thanks to all of you for your efforts!

Medical and Scientific Experts Call for Safe Technologies in Schools 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More Medical Associations, medical doctors and scientists, many of whom work on the biological effects of wireless technologies, have expressed their concerns about the safety of wireless devices for schools. 

 

They are asking for wired information and communication technologies to be used in order to safeguard children and young people, protect and promote healthy development and maximise learning and achievement.

 

These experts do not agree with the health protection agencies which currently support or allow the use of microwave, radiofrequency-emitting technologies by children and young people in schools.
