      I see you’re buying into the corporate propaganda. Guess who paid for “studies” to clear power companies from liability.

      Here are a few of the conclusions from studies that have discovered a strong link between proximity to power lines and health problems:

      Cancer: Exposure to power lines has been connected to cancer. Brain cancer is the most common type, but associations with breast cancer and leukemia have also been claimed;

      Tumors: Some studies have shown associations between brain and other cancerous tumors and exposure to power lines.

      Miscarriages;

      Increased susceptibility to illnesses such as cancer;

      Depression;

      Electric shock;

      Electrocution.

        Please get your science information fro text books not youtube.

        You live in a house that is lined with electrical wires but for some reason they are not an issue to you because no one has told you to be scared of them.

          I mean, there’s a bit of a difference between the 240/120 going through your house and the 100s of KV going through transmission lines

          Do you also believe that fracking is clean and safe?

            Do you always change the subject when you don’t win an argument with the talking points you read online?

        Power lines are more visible in areas with greater poverty, and poverty are risk factors for things like leukemia and miscarriages and depression. No animal trial has shown a link between the type of emissions that power lines give off and any medical issues. Additionally no one has been able to even demonstrate any possible mechanism for action.

        But hey go ahead and prove me wrong. Get some rats and do a controlled study.

        To be fair, you should probably back claims like these up with some references. Google scholar has a few.

          No one online is going to change their beliefs no matter how many references are provided.
