I'd like to hear opinions regarding supposed adverse health
effects of a close proximity to high tension wires.
I'm looking at a nice piece of land on the side of a mountain,
about 200 feet from the lines. I'm inclined to think a cell
phone is more dangerous. I know we have a few here who are
knowledgeable in the field (no pun intended).

Do they make noise? Some do. That would be annoying, to me.

There's a slight buzzing that you have to listen real hard to hear.

That's not the power lines.

Scout,

The Jury is still out on the actual proof but if you are worried about
it, why chance it?
The power companies usually run there lines in corridors of unused land.
Mostly because it is the cheapest available. That is one of the reasons
for the land around it to be available for a reasonable price.

I like your idea of the testing. I really don't know exactly what you
should be testing for? Not sure if anyone knows?

Good luck to you. Either way. Your decision. If you're worried about it
now, it certainly not going to get better. If the power companies have
the right of way there is nothing to stop them from running additional
lines.

Thanks Thom, that's good advice. I hadn't thought about them expanding the
lines.

The jury is still out on the health effects with excellent arguments on
both sides.

There are other concerns that are more easily proven.
Cell phones lose sync (if they can actually sync at all).
Radio interference.
TV interference, slightly reduced if you have cable.
Noise from the transmission lines (hum and/or crackling).
Etc.

I believe the Swedes did a study that showed there were know ill effects on
people, but I would pass on it if it were overhead. I believe their study
was directly overhead. 200 feet probably wouldn't be an issue. More
investigation is, of course, warranted.
