I'm really curious too, many anarchists seem to have bought into the idea that there is some sort of negative health effect. Ive read a little bit about it (also because I was talking to someone who was wary of microwaves) but as far as I can tell its really no issue. Scientists have been studying it since the 90s. Holding a phone up to your ear probably gives more exposure than you get from the tower

Thanks for the links. The supposed health effects are mentioned clearly in the first sentence of the piece as a given

I understand that there will be health effects and environmental damage from side effects like land clearing and industrial pollution, but to just automatically assume that any new technology will in itself be harmful is misguided.
