D#mned electricity. Not to worry. Pretty soon there will be less of it around, thanks to Barack.

More bad science. There have been countless reports on the effects of electro-magnetic waves on humans. You can take an IQ test under the genenerator at Hoover Dam, and re-take the IQ test in the middle of a meadow ... no significant difference.

We are surrounded by electromagnetic waves, and the studies have found that we are simply not affected by them, at the levels and frequencies used for power distribution (not so much for microwaves). There were even decade long studies of cattle raised in fields beneath electrical tranmission lines - the levels of cancer, deformed calves, tumors and other malignant problems were comparable to the control group.

However, a few milligrams of caffeine, LSD, sugar, alcohol or any other chemical can have dramatic affects on us. Electicity and Electro-magnetic waves - not so much.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. People die, people get sick - just like the Breast Cancer scare, bad science benefits no one, except lawyers.

There’s only one remedy for stray Volts. RPG.

Nope. It’s the jet contrails, er, chemtrails, in the sky. Or maybe fracking. Or it could be the Alar, or the trans-fats, or the carbon dioxide, or Fukushima, or Mitt Romney, or the Taos Hum, or White Supremacy, or....

You know, when I hear things like this, and the people bellyaching about smart meters, I begin to regret I ever became an electronics engineer.

These people don't deserve a better world. They deserve to not have cool houses in the summer, and warm ones in the winter. They don't deserve to have hot food from cold storage. They don't deserve to have electric pumps to bring water for drinking and to flush their shat.

They despise the very people and things that brought them out of the misery that was human existence before widespread electrification.

Got tired of all the stray voltage leaking out of my unused outlets so I closed them all with fence staples.

Time to get off the lap-top and turn the mains back on.

Of course it is very possible for there to be stray voltage from a substation. Improper grounding, shorts, inductance, any number of things with bad design or construction could have voltage going astray, but you’d be able to measure it and there would be observable effects - people getting shocked, damage to equipment or even accelerated corrosion of metal objects. But practically nothing of what the residents are complaining about.

If this is going on, it can be measured.

Once you have determined what fields are present and in what strength, then we can have the discussion about how harmful they are.

These are ALL people trying to gather evidence of their ‘disability’ for SS disability, pure and simple.

In my career I’ve had transferred calls routed to me to deal with individuals trying to claim the same crap...RF/EM waves playing havoc with this or that body part.....

In truth, they are looking for some scintilla of confirmation of the possiblity they can use for the SS claim.

Frauds all.

The only effect, after decades of building, and maintaining high voltage lines and structures I ever noticed (retired Power Distribution Lineman) was positive!

Working around up to 500,000 KVA made my arthritis feel GREAT! Makes your hair frizzy too!

“There’s people getting sick and there’s people dying,” a woman said at the meeting.
Wouldn’t the cure be to move?,oh wait it’s california logic never in use.

These folks should be mopping up all the spilled coulombs and selling them back to the power company.
