Informed Life Radio: Smart Meters, Informed Consent, and the Right to Opt Out

(Sept. 11, 2026) In Episode 383, Cecelia “Cece” Doucette, director of Massachusetts for Safe Technology, makes the case for a meaningful right to opt out of wireless “smart” utility meters.  Cece explains how smart meters differ from older analog and digital meters, why their constant two-way radiofrequency transmissions raise health and informed-consent concerns, and what advocates are doing to secure an opt-out without punitive fees. A regular guest on CHD.TV, Cece is also a public educator and legislative advocate who has taken the stage at the last two Children’s Health Defense national conferences. Through Massachusetts for Safe Technology, she offers no-cost monthly webinars, practical safer-tech guidance, legislative education, and resources citizens can use in their own communities.
