Time to put on my rant hat for a minute, folks. I just read this story and have to get some things aired out in the open. Maybe I'm not seeing this from the perspective the government wants me to, but I kinda pride myself on that.
Here's the headline: Power Lines Probably Risky
Read that again. Probably risky. Let's see here. Exposure to massive amounts of electromagnetic radiation, the likes of which were never apart of our (or any things) evolutionary past, just might not be the best thing for us. Well. If that isn't a solid "maybe", I don't know what is!
And how did they (this time the California Department of Health Services
) come to this iron-clad conclusion? Nothing like an eight-year study costing seven million dollars to do the trick!
Here's an example of just how far they stick there necks out after eight years and seven million bucks:
"To one degree or another, all three of the DHS scientists are inclined to believe that EMFs (electric and magnetic fields) can cause some degree of increased risk of childhood leukemia, adult brain cancer, Lou Gehrig's disease and miscarriage..."
How do I sign up for one of these studies? Just think what we could do with eight years and seven gazillon dollars! Probably come up with something better than "to one degree or another", don't you think?
