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. -s
