I have been using my solar clothes drier to reduce my electric bill to off set the $10 monthly fee. I will eventually make back the $75, ridiculous, origination fee.

Do everything you can to easily use less power. We should all reduce our electric use to conserve and also reduce the PGE profits. 50% of electric power comes from burning coal, that you never see, in another location anyway. Reduce your use; that will bug them.

Visit my solar clothes drier on YouTube. Search “Travels with Vin” on YouTube. Look for My efficient, simple, low cost, easy to instal and easy to use, “Solar Dryer.”
Available at your local Hardware Store

First, that was rather smarmy.

Second, I have never denied the sickness and suffering of people claiming to be hypersensitive to EMFs.

Finally, definitions are important in science and society, and to claim that the radiation of SmartMeters is “a carcinogen” is just plain wrong.

Good point, Richard. It’s important to remember that it doesn’t really matter if a particular agent is causing widespread sickness and suffering; it’s the terminology associated with its official classification that’s important.

These crazy bastards just have their priorities all mixed up, but I’m sure if you bait them often enough here in the comments section they’ll straighten out eventually.

Caprolactam is the only “IARC Group 4 carcinogen”

Here is what places a substance/emission in Group 4: “evidence suggesting lack of carcinogenicity in experimental animals, consistently and strongly supported by a broad range of other relevant data, may be classified in this group.” Hmmm, wonder why radiofrequency radiation was NOT placed in group 4 if there is no evidence of harm.

“…as a Class 2B agent”

should read “Group 2B” not Class 2B (please excuse the typo).

Then, as you interpret the IARC definitions, anything in their “Group 4” would also be a carcinogen, although “probably not”. Correct?

Would you agree with the previous statement?

If you agree with that, then where do we stop? — Is every substance “a carcinogen” to some degree?

The rampant mis-use of the IARC’s terminology needs to stop.

Then when the exact mechanism for cancer causation is known, the rating will go up to 2A.
