Summary: Living Under Powerlines -Imminent Danger-
Review: Since there was not a review on this book, I felt COMPELLED to write one. This is a must read for anyone living near High-tension Powerlines or near a Power Substation. This book is well written, with documentation of events that everyone should know about. Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) have been in the news for many years. The implications of the danger of EMF's and the Health-cancer threat is just too great to ignore. In this book the author documents real life experiences of people who have experienced "SHOCKING" events that have occurred to them after High-tension power lines came through their properties. These people lived under or near these lines. One of the most "SHOCKING" (literally) was the fact that the owner was unable to paint his tin roof without getting shocked until he had run a chain down his pants leg to keep him grounded! Big Business has spent a great deal of time and money to cover-up stories like this. I live in a state where power companies are very big business. Not only are they big business they have the legislators on their side. Congress has given Utilities the power of "eminent domain" where they can build these high tension power lines where ever they please. The people in this book were affected by this law that allows Utility Companies to condemn land. The people in this book didn't want power lines on their property, but power lines they got. Some paid for these lines with their lives. When this book was first published in 1973, one of the major power companies in my state bought every copy of this book they could find. Today, this book is still hard to find in many of my State's Public Libraries even though the author's other books are readily available. Does this tell you something? Power Companies feel very threatened by this book? This alone should make everyone rush out and buy it. Read it, share it, give a copy to your local library, community planning committee, and congressmen - urge them to read it. It is definitely a keeper- The orginial version (1973) has lots of "shocking" pictures, the updated version (1992) has a wonderful review by Stewart Udall with a 20 year follow-up on the families from the original, some of whom developed cancer. If you liked this book, I would recommend reading several books by Paul Brodeur. "Currents of Death," and "The Great Power Line Cover-up."
