re: #162 A Cranky One

I wonder if the utility companies use herbicides to stunt plant growth (and hence maintenence costs) under the HV lines? If so, that is a more likely cause of cancer clusters.

If the study didn’t evaluate other potential causes it’s worthless.

Here in Michigan they don’t use chemicals. I’ve been monitoring the quarter-mile stretch of big power line right-of-away on the west edge of my property for 34 years now. They cut stuff they should not, but I’ve never have seen or smelled chemicals.
