I g g g grew up grew up up quite near high t t t ten tension tension lines, and I t t t turned out turned out out okay okay! Seriously, one thing that left a big impression was being up in my tree house, looking over the fields at the quite noticeable "bump" running directly under the lines where all the crops grew bigger. My dad always said he wouldn't make any money farming if it weren't for those power lines! The latest Science News reported on research that showed statistical correlation between leukemia and telephone linemen. One interesting point was that the researcher had been a skeptic, and had in fact produced an earlier study sponsored by the electrical power industry that showed no correlation! Details on request, but first see if your library stocks Science News.
