• Retired Air Force Sergeant Isaiah Brock says he began experiencing headaches and losing sleep shortly after Florida Power & Light (FPL) installed smart meters in his neighborhood, prompting him to ask the company to replace the device with an older model that doesn’t transmit data wirelessly.
• According to an FPL spokesperson, the signal strength emitted by smart meters is “miniscule compared to other [domestic] radio frequency devices,” although there is a continued debate over the effects smart meters might have to people who are “sensitive” to certain radio waves.
