It's blowing in the wind.

UK researchers claim to have found sharply higher cancer rates in people living close to overhead power lines.
If their findings apply nationally, it would suggest premature deaths on the scale of the annual road accident toll.
The researchers say the excess cancers are found only in people living downwind of the lines and they say this is strong evidence to support one theory of how electric fields may damage health.
Scientists stressed that there are no accepted biological reasons for the results and that the findings could be linked to the environments where pylons are located.
Around 1% of homes in the UK are said to be within 200 metres of high voltage National Grid power lines.


It would be strange not to see these on our landscapes.
They are everywhere, is that why this has been kept fairly quiet?
Imagine the cost of a safe replacement.
