Ridiculous. There is a very severe difference between holding a radio transmitter right next to your brain pan (cell phone), and having one (smart meter) sitting in your basement/garage at many yards removal. The “1/r^2” law applies.

Same thought.

The only place I’ve ever been in where I felt like I was being radiated was at a little church in WV which had big HV power lines passing right overhead. We found that if you stood outside and held one metal end of a 4-foot fluorescent bulb, it lit up quite nicely.

My power meter is about one and one half feet from where you would sit on my front room couch. It’s not on the other side of the garage where I would like it to be. I opted out of the Smart Meter and so now I pay an extra ten or twenty a month because someone has to come and actually read the meter each month.
