EMFs are so ambiguous and ubiquitous that its impossible to say for sure if they are universally safe. Most of the man made EMF radiation we have been exposed to has only been around for the last 60 years, and only in the last 20 has it been taken to the level it is now. How could any study show the trans generational effects of EMFs, when there is no control data available. The effects could be literally entirely in ones head, in the way it interferes with circadian rhythm or other neuron electrical signaling.... these subtle metalogical effects are extremely difficult to measure scientifically. There is also the possibility of these energy fields disrupting our genetic structures, causing infertility or even degenerate offspring.
Animal studies have shown negative effects of chronic emf exposure
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3553569/and though most human studies are very uncontrolled and incomplete there is anecdotal evidence of possible issues
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1071010/It would seem like taking precautionary measures are responsible in the absences of absolute proof either way. I worked as an electrician for years inside panel rooms, next to transformers, holding power tools for countless hours....... so I do the best to mitigate my past exposure by avoiding as mush as possible EMFs at home.....I sleep on a magnetic bed, and make sure all electrical devices are turned off at night. I don't carry a cell phone on me, don't have a smart meter on the house, don't live right next to a cell tower and basically try to limit my exposure to the best of my ability.
A primary concern with EMF, which may have some scientific legitimacy is the way it can be mistaken for solar energy by the Pineal gland, and if you are exposed to high levels of EMF after dark it can trick your brain into thinking its still daylight, and thereby cause the suppression of the excretion of melatonin...... as well as interfere with other hormonal systems that rejuvenate during normal sleep cycles, which overtime can lead to insomnia, depression, behavioral issues, adrenal burnout, and a host of other related degenerative conditions.
The trouble with all these alternative technologies is the vast expense. Indeed, Huebner et al are predicting that future technologies will cost such vast amounts that, eventually, they will become unfeasible.
I feel the same...... it seems like even the cheapest electric vehicles coming to market in the next decade will be far beyond the average 1st world worker to afford, and even if the price comes down to reasonable levels the environmental cost with electric cars, though not as directly felt as combustion engines is still extremely high. The Batteries are insanely resource consumptive and full of toxic materials that would require extensive cost to maintain and recycle.
Solar panels are also resource intensive and contain very toxic substances which must be carefully disposed of?
There is still a lot of uncertainty about the possible issues with wind turbines...a google search will show conflicting evidence regarding wind turbine syndrom
http://www.windturbinesyndrome.com/2011/animals-too-suffer-from-wind-turbine-syndrome/The energy saving light bulbs full of poisonous gas, give off a horrible depressing light frequency which is causing much more harm than good to both the earth and the human race.
Then there is "crack pot conspiracy theorist " whom believe that the entire green movement has been taken over by Phonies and useful idiots, and is simply an empty front being run by cartels that are more interested in profits than they are creating real viable solutions.
Still, I wonder if the resource that have been used on combustion engines where poured into other avenues of technological development, human ingenuity could find a way to provide effective, affordable and clean transportation to everyone. With the same effort that went into the Manhattan project we could avail ourselves of the need for fossil fuels.
