A letter exchange between two people then forwarded to me:
Dear R,
I had heard about them being put into Mpls, but hadn't heard about St Paul parking meters until now.
Yes, they do transmit microwave signals. So, they have microwave transmitting antennas on them and add to the EMF pollution that we are generally getting. When we approach such a meter to look at it and, say, swipe a credit card, we are getting very close to that source of microwave pollution. This adds to the concern about health impacts to our citizens.

Hi L.
I just read about parking meters that are called "smart meters" that
can accept credit cards and other methoids of payment. Do you know if
they have any EMF issues? They're being installed on University Ave. in St. Paul.
R.
My Comments I sent back to them:
Here is a good reason not to live in the city anymore. The more we install in the metropolis areas, the thicker the cloud gets. It's getting to the point and beyond that having a meter to measure sources is just not going to be useful anymore. Just a meter that measures ambient levels will be all that is needed due to the sources being completely around us. It will be too difficult to mitigate all of them since as soon as we reduce or eliminate one, six more pop up.
I know people will be looking for solutions to this problem from us. I see it as move out of the city & only go in when you have to. I know that’s not the answer people are looking for , but constant bombardment is what is taking place. We need to build safe houses that have reduced RF penetration, but the problem is they still need to breath and be toxic free. Then what does one do when they leave the home? In Europe there are people that wear metallic beehive type suits when they go out in public, otherwise they are locked in their RF fortresses.
I'm not trying to sound bleak, but it gets frustrating when they just use and put technology somewhere just to put technology up somewhere. Now you have smart readers to read meters, what happens to all the meter readers and coin collectors? So we get smarter and put more people out of a job just because someone does not have 25 cents in their pocket.
This is also pushing us towards a paperless society. Now we lose even more jobs because we now don't need bank tellers, money handles, Brinks security drivers, etc. Just click and go. Also now, the government now tracks every single movement you are doing due to all of your transactions. When does the chip get installed and when do we have credits applied and what are the consequences when you cannot pay your credits back?
We are not the government where we can push off our current debt to the next three generations. So they take your house and put you on the streets so you need govt assistance anyway. I think we need to slow down a bit and breath. We are losing our connection to the earth and all that is good and healing about it. We are more worried about who's gonna win "Dancing with the Stars" while heating up our instant "food" in a microwave oven killing any nutritional benefits it may have had, while altering the chemicals in it we will ingest.
OK, off soap box for now.
We, us techno-geeks will look at some parking meters when we get a chance and see what they are doing. Meanwhile avoid smart meters being installed in your own home. For now that’s what we can do.
