   ...Objectively, the field strength falls off rapidly with distance.
   But the article I read in Science said that even if the health
   effects are confirmed, the available evidence suggests that the
   health effects do not always decrease with decreasing field
   strength.

If it doesn't matter whether you're 90, 900, or 9000 feet from the
high-tension wires, I guess we're all cooked, so why worry?  Moreover,
at a certain point, you are getting more EMF from the wires in your
own house than from the high-tension wires, so distance to the
high-tension wires becomes irrelevant.
