PLC up or down?

Several experiments find place in Europe to develop PLC (Power Line Communications).
The European Commission finances for 9,06 million euros the PLC European Research Alliance.

However this technology is prohibited in Japan. Indeed, electric cables are not shielded, thus they emit strong radiations! The higher the speed, stronger the radiations. These radiations disturb other electronics components or even the people.

Thus PLC seems to ba a bad deal!
