It seems that lawmakers or/and journalists do not understan= d the difference between:
a. milli and mega (who cares ab= out ratio of 1000000000)
b. power and energy (but that differ= ence is subtle if time is not relevant) 
 
I know even a better one:
In order to reduce the "radiati= on hazard" to children a city council member (green party) sugge= sted to limit the height of GSM antenna towers in a radius of 100m arround= schools to 10m.
