Cell Phone Group Sues San Francisco Over Radiation Law

crimeandpunishment writes "The wireless industry wants to put San Francisco's cell phone radiation law on hold. An industry trade group filed a lawsuit Friday trying to stop the law, which requires cell phone stores to display how much radio energy each phone emits. The group says the law, which is the first of its kind in the country, supersedes the authority of the Federal Communications Commission, and will mislead consumers into thinking one phone is safer than another."

    They've earned their place in history all right, the coal industry would be dead and buried as a relic of history like whale oil if it weren't for Greenpeace. I have long wondered if the coal industry discreetly financially supports Greenpeace, much like some republicans spent a great deal of money on Ralph Naders 2004 campaign.
