The fluorescant bulb trick only works directly UNDER the lines, and the EMF field falls off at a geometric rate the further you are from the lines.. 20m away, and there's almost nothing.

| Wi-Fi for Sebastopol Sonic.net is the ISP who had a contract to install access points to provide free Wi-Fi on city light poles, at our expense (the project is not taxpayer supported).
Here's my blog article on this topic from this weekend: »corp.sonic.net/blog/2008/03/23/s···ontract/
And the local newspaper (the comments are interesting): »www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/2···ate=kart
Meanwhile, our Wi-Fi mesh deployments in other communities are doing well, with over 250 users per day utilizing the free network. Info and a map linked here: »www.sonic.net/wifi/

| Re: ppl that's correct if it said wifi was good for health ppl would probably actually claim it helped them
just like when they had on the radio years ago that there was an alien attack (it was a show pretended to be a news broadcast)even though there was no attack ppl were panicked they left there house stoves caught fire ppl blamed aliens and all heck broke loss | |

| These people remind me of the type of individual that no matter how strong the evidence is they put their hands over their ears, close their eyes, shake their head, and loudly say, "La, la, la, la" over and over again.
Just goes to show you that some people will always take their beliefs and fears and trump them over reality and reason. I guess irrationality is one of the prices we have to pay for being the most intelligent organisms on the planet

| safety is good.. It's good to investigate these things, but low level radiation effects on people have been tested plenty of times with no bad results. Being near a high power line could have some effects, wifi isn't powerful enough to do anything though. Of course, it IS microwave radiation
How can a few people derail an effort? What about democracy? I'd think it should take more than a few. | |

| Hot Head "Ever notice that your skin gets warm after a long call? That’s the only side effect of RF energy - warming. That is how microwave ovens work, at a much higher power level of 500-700 watts."
Ummm... actually, that's the battery warming up. I don't recall my head warming up due to RF energy.

| Re: Hot Head If I remember my phys chem (it's been a while) RF emissions cause changes in rotational states of molecules, while microwave ovens are set up to cause changes in the bending and stretching frequencies of the bonds in water and most fats (which is how they heat food). Not the same thing at all—there's a lot more energy in a microwave.
RF emissions don't have anywhere near enough energy to actually alter chemical bonds (and thus cause cancer). | |

| Re: The first problem said by La Luna :Maybe these people are hired shills for the telcos. Nope. The town is run by a bunch of kooks. Be thankful you live 100x farther away from there as I do.
Lastest population estivate for Sebastopol is 7500. Superpages.com lists 67 providers of Mental Health Services in Sebastopol, CA, nearly 1 for every 100 residents! I suspect that's a booming industry there.

| Re: The first problem DOStradamus: you are misrepresenting Sebastopol.
Sebastopol is the shopping center for all of West Sonoma county, and even for a reasonable part of Western Santa Rosa.
Using the same switchboard.com as you used you can see that on a per capita basis we have far more gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores as Santa Rosa (those were the only services I looked up).
For example:
We have one gas station for every 937 residents, as compared to one for each 3,650 residents of Santa Rosa.
We have one 'mental health services' per 112 residents, versus one per 335 in Santa Rosa.
Your assertion that only 'kooks' use mental health services
seems unworthy. | |

| Re: The first problem Science! I love it when the facts are viewed with objectivity.
It's rhetoric that got us into this "ban the Wi-Fi" situation, so I love your statistics Rich.
The net result (DOS) is that it doesn't take a large population of irrational but vocal people to sway the political process. The outcome is the same, but it's painting with a more narrow brush.
