“Our group— we're formalized now and it's called Alaska for Safe Tech. And we're also connecting with other organizations to help our efforts.”
And the other thing I want to say is, uh, our group— we're formalized now and it's called Alaska for Safe Tech. And we're also connecting with other organizations to help our efforts. And some of the things that we plan on doing in the future may include canvassing neighborhoods where towers already are to explain the dangers of EF radiation, the cumulative effects, and also the compound effects of having multiple towers, Wi-Fi in the house, cell phone, all that all together, it adds up, and there are ways to mitigate that. So regardless of where this goes, whether the towers— numbers of towers increases or decreases, safer or not, we're going to educate folks the best we can on how to overcome these challenges with the side effects of this technology. Anyway, thank you.
The Petersburg Borough Assembly passed the second reading of its wireless communication facilities ordinance unanimously, but Vice Mayor Stanton Gregor put his procedural objections on the record, and residents packed the meeting demanding stronger setbacks and a moratorium on tower development.
