House Resolution 178 HD1 (on the effects of 5G wireless technology on biological life) died in committee this past legislative session. I was very disappointed to hear about this, as well as many other Hawaii citizens who signed the Hawaii 5G petition. In my opinion, this is a very serious health and safety issue that will have a far-reaching impact on Hawai’i’s future.

Isn’t the health and safety of our citizens paramount above the economic impact or gains expected by the implementation of 5G technology? What good is the creation of more jobs, if the people filling them are exposed to dangerous levels of radiation caused by 5G and the IOT (Internet of Things), once these devices go live?
