It's one thing if you use a phone yourself, but the energy hitting you from the base stations is far less than what you get in that area of frequencies from the sun.

If that's true, how does the phone manage to pick the signal out from all that solar radiation?

You can filter out a stable amount pretty easily but oops I just checked the blackbody math again and an exponent flipped when I changed one of the ranges while everything else stayed almost the same, I screwed up and ignore everything I said.

frequency filtering.

True. Most of the fight I've seen has been at the city level, debating the regulations for where the base stations can be placed, and what ROW is granted to support them. But if people fail to engage with their local government when the topic is discussed, it would be difficult to fight after the fact.
