Hi everyone,
I read the postings about underground lines and I
have to say I found it interesting because when we first started looking into
the building codes here (Beaufort SC, which to borrow from luke skywalker, if
there is a bright spot in the universe this is the place it's farthest from) we
were told that all new construction is required to have the lines buried.
Of course we still have all the old overhead lines but it would seem that my
community, at least, is against putting up any more. What I wonder about
though, is that I have heard and read from lots of different sources that the
radiation or whatever it is from power lines and transformers can have bad
effects on living things, such as possibly causing cancer. There was a
program on discovery a few years ago about a community where several families
lost many of the members to cancer and it was attributed to the presence of a
transformer on their street. I also remember reading something about a
dairy farmer whose cattle were having problems that seemed unexplainable until
they were removed from the area of the power pole. Did anyone else ever
hear this?
