Wouldn't the power at the source of such a signal be so great as to cause harm to nearby life? If the "wow" signal actually originated from 2MASS 19281982-2640

Wouldn't the power at the source of such a signal be so great as to cause harm to nearby life? If the "wow" signal actually originated from 2MASS 19281982-2640123, whatever life that may have been there is now probably gone.
- imglorp 6y ago2MASS 19281982-2640123 is 1800 light years away. Eh, maybe if ET has solved war and politics, they're still there. But it also implies WOW was not a response to our RF emissions, which are reaching at most 130 LY out today. This raises other questions. Were they broadcasting to every habitable planet in sight? We did that briefly.
