"V2V" - Vehicle to Vehicle Technology


From EMF Safety Network:
The stated purpose of the V2V (vehicle to vehicle) is to improve driving safety by warning drivers of imminent crash risks in time to avoid them and pave the way for self-driving cars.

V2V is like a smart meter in your car! The antenna is omni-directional, allowed to transmit up to approximately 2 watts of power output at 10 Mhz and 5.9 Ghz with a range of 300 meters, or three football fields in length, every 100 milliseconds, or 10 pulses a second. The proximity of the transmitter to the driver and passengers is unknown, but could be inches to a few feet away from people in the car.

We strongly oppose mandating V2V in cars and light trucks. All roadway corridors will have significant increases in RFR (radiofrequency radiation) exposure from V2V and supporting infrastructure.  V2V poses increased safety hazards to drivers, passengers, people in homes who live along roadways, cyclists, and pedestrians. Increased RFR exposure from V2V threatens nature, trees, birds, bees and other insects. Vulnerable populations such as children, seniors, people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), and people with medical implants are at greater risk of harm.  Assertions of RFR harm are based in peer reviewed published science.

The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) states they are taking RFR concerns seriously, however they make a couple of important inaccurate statements: 
  1. No scientific evidence establishes a causal link between wireless device use and cancer or other illnesses.
  2. There’s no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure.
  3. The National Environmental Policy Act does not apply.
  4. V2V will not have a disproportionate effect on children.
  5. Consumer education by the Federal Government and vehicle manufacturers may help to alleviate RFR concerns.
We believe V2V technology will not make driving safer, but will make driving more harmful to people and the environment, create mobility access barriers, and should be stopped.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was taking comments on V2V technology at Regulations.gov until yesterday (April 12, 2017).

So I wrote the following impassioned comment:
V2V technology uses radiofrequency radiation.  Show me absolute PROOF that radiofrequency radiation is 100% SAFE.
Radiofrequency radiation IS NOT 100% SAFE as EVIDENCED by the above links.  THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR LITERALLY LIFETIMES. 
"Non-ionizing radiation is found in a wide range of occupational settings and can pose a CONSIDERABLE HEALTH RISK to potentially exposed workers IF NOT PROPERLY CONTROLLED."
We have lost all common sense and logic when it comes to radiofrequency radiation.  
For profit.  
For political contributions.  
For bribes.  
For money.  
Judas sold Jesus out for 30 pieces of gold.  YOU will be NO BETTER THAN JUDAS, selling the public out, for what?  
"30 pieces of gold." 
The NTP (National Toxicology Program) study shows an increase in tumors with exposure to radiofrequency radiation: 
WHY ARE YOU IGNORING THIS?  How many people MUST GET SICK and/or DIE from EXPOSURE to RADIOFREQUENCY RADIATION for you to LISTEN and NOT be SEDUCED by the MONEY?
Some people who have gone through chemotherapy are told by their medical doctors, "NO MORE RADIATION."  WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT IS? 
V2V technology *********IS MORE RADIATION.*********  More radiation that will be nearly UNAVOIDABLE unless one becomes a hermit. 
Some people will not be able to get NEAR new vehicles and ALL ROADS if V2V technology is mandated. 
Some people will abandon driving or even ENTERING vehicles because of the dose of radiofrequency radiation they WILL RECEIVE if they DO. 
I STRONGLY OPPOSE MANDATING V2V TECHNOLOGY.  And given the facts I have presented, SO SHOULD YOU, lest you END UP LIKE JUDAS. 
I REQUEST YOU MOVE TO ABANDON ALL MANDATED V2V TECHNOLOGY.

Eyes Are On Michigan!


Most of us are already aware of the issues with new public utility meters (sometimes called "smart", advanced, digital, AMI, AMR, or AMR ERT).  If you're not, please watch this documentary from Take Back Your Power, read through some of this blog, and/or listen to the testimonies given at the Michigan Energy Policy Committee public hearings, part 1, part 2, and part 3.  

There are very serious issues with the new meters, which is why momentum is building to pass legislation that will allow natural gas and electric public utility customers the right to "opt-put" and keep using analog meters (that have never had a fraction of the issues) without having to pay extra (extortion) fees to do so.

From New York:

Woodstock NY- This is a serious issue because once you all have smartmeters, you will not be able to get rid of them. Better to ensure a good opt out program, for now.
On Saturday, April 8th, at 7 p.m., the Woodstock Smart Meter Forum is showing a film on the smart meter hearings presently taking place in Lansing, Michigan. Afterwards, former Ulster County legislators, Terry Bernardo and Mike Madsen, will discuss legislative best practices on getting an analog opt-out bill through the NYS Assembly and Senate. Stop Smart Meters Woodstock’s presentation is free and open to all, and will take place at the Woodstock Public Library, 5 Library Lane in Woodstock. For more information call 679-8111.

Michigan - A Call To Action:

Please call one or more of the Energy Policy Committee members (listed below) who have not yet committed to supporting HB 4220, and ask them to support "no-fee" Analog Utility Meter Choice!  Here's a script of what you can say:

"Hello. My name is ______.  I live in  _____.  I am asking you to support House Bill 4220, which gives me the right to choose an ANALOG gas or electric utility meter, without having to pay extra fees .  I want the right to choose my meter.  Please support House Bill 4220."

Thank you for all you do to support this legislation!

"Radiofrequency Radiation Is Dangerous - It Could Kill You"

  Until about six year ago I had no idea there was a need for “safer technology.”  I’d been using computers ever since the 1970’s, though I ...
