There are legitimate concerns with smart meters about privacy, inept installations, usage transparency, hacking, and aggressive access to meter locations, but low-power non-ionizing radio photons aren't one of the real concerns. Unfortunately much of this documentary is fear mongering, paranoia, cynicism, confusion of correlation with causation, misinformation, and irrelevant association with other things.

This is a very alarming documentary about what radiation from so-called smart meters can do to your health and wealth. It's well presented, interesting and even entertaining. Fair and balanced? I don't know. Indeed, can there at this time be a fair and balanced take on this subject? I suggest the reader see this and make up his or her own mind, perhaps with a little added research.As for my opinion, I think in the midst of so much misinformation, partial information, propaganda, paid lies, emotional lies, ignorance--especially ignorance since most people really know little to nothing about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on living tissues--we need to look at the broader picture and concentrate on what we know.How can we know the truth? I'm not sure we can. But how many smart meters are in operation throughout the world? That can be estimated to a fair accuracy. But how many people suffer ill-health or even death because of these meters? That is the problem: that number cannot be even estimated confidently. Why? Because a causal trail would have to be established from the meters to the ailing persons AND other possible causes would have to be eliminated.So what do I think? My belief is that (1) some people may be more susceptible to EMRs than others, and (2) it may be the case that the electric companies have mistakenly in some cases installed meters that really are harmful to our health.Probably the most frightening case given in the documentary is not about smart meters. It is about two faculty members and one student at San Diego State University getting brain cancer at a single location, Nasatir Hall on campus. Was this a cancer cluster caused by something on or near the site (the documentary points to a nearby High Performance Wireless Research Network Tower) or was it just a coincidence? One of the faculty members and a student died in 2008; the other faculty member died in 1993.Okay, again what do I think? My belief is that a cancer cluster of three people 15 years apart (with no new cases since 2008) is probably a coincidence. There's a whole world of science, pseudoscience and conjecture about cancer clusters that the reader might want to research. The problem is two-fold: probabilistically proving cause is extremely difficult, and even if there is no single cause there will be cancer clusters arising purely by chance.As in many other aspects of the environment concerning our health the truth is very difficult to find because there will be research on both sides of any issue sponsored by people with a vested interest in one side or the other.However, just as with tobacco and climate change, eventually the truth will out. I am waiting. Meanwhile I am pleased that there is no smart meter on my home, although if there were I don't think I would worry about it. But maybe I would do more research and then maybe I would worry. Maybe not.Life is complicated and although I think this documentary is a bit over the top I think it is worth watching. In a way it's a good place to begin your research if you are worried about how electrical magnetic radiation may affect our health.--Dennis Littrell, author of "The World Is Not as We Think It Is"

This work began on a very personal level with the unexplained illness of a friend of the director. During its development, it built into a powerful indictment of WiFi and smart-meter technologies which now are not only beamed in unprecedented and ever greater volumes indiscriminately throughout our common environment, but now even force active radio transmitters onto and into our very homes and castles. The possible consequences for our health and security are laid our clearly, forcibly and with authority.This film should be viewed by all who are concerned with our future well being and that of those who are coming after us. We are in uncharted territory like that of tobacco smoke, thalidomide, asbestos, lead in gasoline, etc. all of which proved to be disastrous for many but only showed up years later. We are no guinea pigs. Or are we?

I see from the ratings that 2 Utility company employees were able to get their votes in.Josh Del Sol really out did himself with this documentary. Personally, I don't think it went far enough pointing out the obvious corruption AND ignorance surrounding this issue. But then I do understand introducing the "masses" to this alarming information in a "slow and gentle" way in order not to shock and awe them. There are still those out there that believe Electromagnetic Sensitivity is "make believe", and I can't tell you how many people I have personally heard say "...the government wouldn't allow this to happen if it was harming people". How soon they forget tobacco, asbestos, lead, fluoride, pesticides, endless medications that kill etc. etc. etc. Never mind the FACT that NOBEL PRIZE nominated & winning scientists from around the world, as well doctors, surgeons, and endless numbers of experts are all screaming about the dangers of microwave & radio-frequency radiation - especially the pulsed kind as emitted by 'Smart Meters' cordless phone bases, & wifi routers. Do yourself and your family a favour, watch this movie and then do your own research and talk about it. The information is out there. Far too many are saying things like "what can I do" or "what difference will it make". To get started is easy, just spend a little time learning. Surf the net, watch this movie, check out other 'Smart Meter' vids on you-tube, and trust me - before you know it, you'll be hooked and joining the growing number of people fighting this.
