Five-percenters and lynx hair to me.
Rent "Neighbors" starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.
Drive by on a foggy day. See if the hum will bother you; if not, its a free clothesline.
Exactly -- that's one of the reasons why we ARE able to transmit electricity over long distances -- and why it must be three-phase (tri-pole) alternating current, as opposed to direct current.
Folks who want to fear "electricity" can do so. They ought to fear the sun as a source ...
As a disclosure, we moved out of a house near hi-tension power lines, but not because of the power lines. They do tend to hiss and buzz and hum on foggy days, which can be annoying.
If you would ever want to have a backyard swimming pool, then DON'T buy this house. Whether your choice would be above ground or inground, pools cannot be installed under the path of power lines (be they pole to house, or transmission type lines). Jsut oen more thing to consider.
PS...you have FReep mail coming...
Plenty of truth about statistics.
However, life is incredibly complex. Even at the physics level. And I'm not AT ALL impressed with the accuracy, authenticity, truthfulness, integrity of a very long list of experts.
All the more so when we are talking about experts connected with government entities.
I'm skeptical anyone knows definitively on this subject--at least--anyone willing to lay it all out extremely fairly.
Sobering.
Prayers.
It's probably more of an eyesore than a danger unless a severe storm knocks them down.
New meaning to
ROCKY THE FLYING SQUIRREL!
Yeah. This group asserted that such things were particularly hazardous over the long term.
What do I know.
But I would not use an electric blanket or normal water bed heater any more given all I've read.
Given all the other electrical stuff near my head much of the time, it's probably of little benefit to avoid such. Still . . . that much is doable with little bother.
Overall a bad idea! If there is an easement on your property it is a resale disaster. If the easement is not actually on but near your property remember that you will be unable to fight any effort in the future to increase that easment onto your property and you will NOT be properly compensated for it. And, this is not a scientific obsevation, but a personal one. Most all of my close relatives have been blessed with exemplary health. My folks moved their young family to the proximity of rural high tension transmission lines . My youngest sibling was actually born and raised at that house. She now suffers from MS, a hideous ,cruel thing.
As I understand it, the Scandanavians collect--rather routinely--all manner of statistical facts about 100% of their citizens.
And various 'studies' are ran on that mass of data all the time.
Oh, and another thing. Power Lines make a wonderful back yard neighbor. They never have wild parties and they don't care if you do.
Our power lines are in a green belt too, and the county keeps the lawns mowed and the landscaping in shape. Sometimes I feel like I live on a 40 acre estate with gardeners, because no one is allowed to trespass underneath them.
L
the greenbelt where they are actually has a playground there where tons of kids play, and a jogging trail and basketball court. So I guess people are exposed even if they don't have their house right there.
And some of us are hypersensitive to electrical whine/humm noises on frequencies others seem not to hear at all.
But, yeah, the transmission line hummm is real annoying to me.
I understand, but running analysis on pure data without holding certain variables constant, double blind experiments, placebo groups etc.....well it is just correlational or standard deviation......it doesn't prove a whole lot about causes of things
