I know this has been discussed in one form or another. Food for thought for those who deal with this topic and customers. Electrosensitivity.

Thought of this last thread.

Thanks, but my job is to fix electrical stuff, not customers.

This lady was the subject of discussion a while back on a ham radio forum I belong to. As you can imagine, the consensus was she needed a foil hat to wear around.
 
After the cancer, the doctors recommended we enjoy a nice holiday somewhere and the whole family went to the Greek island of Kos for two weeks in September 2008.

While I was there was I was fine, but when I got home I felt ill again almost straightaway. It wasn't until afterwards that I considered it might have been because of all the 'electrosmog' we were experiencing at home.

yes, because it's a well established fact that there are no cell phones, radios or electrical devices in Greece...

And did anyone else notice that she is HOLDING an electrical device in her hands that is supposedly MEASURING the EMF? Oh brother.

Methinks she is angling for an extended holiday on that island.

We have a 345kV line running through our county. Most people don't have a clue as to what it is. If you set a no contact voltage tester (tick tracer, cheep tracer) on the dash of your car as you drive under them it sets them off and they indicate for a short distance after you pass under them. Now, were talking a distance of well over 100 feet before the tracer stops indicating. That same tracer stops indicating a couple inches from a 120 volt conductor.

Why don't we get a disproportional amount of sensitivity complaints in proximity of HV tranny lines? I suspect that they don't know what they are and how much EMF they generate.

I think the big reason for so few complaints is most of us have no time to worry about those details. Two busy fighting cancer etc.:)
 
Problem is the people that would want to see the transmission line removed because is is an environmental and health hazard are the same people that will say you can't turn off or regulate their energy use. They also are not very open to most alternatives, and certainly do not wish to see increase in cost of energy.

They want all the conveniences there are but 'not in my backyard'.

I would also bet that people that are vocal about birds hitting windmills have picture windows that have taken out few of their feathered friends.

Birds are not able to see windmills, but an eagle can spot a mouse in a field from 1/4 mile away, a barn swallow can see a mosquito from 20 feet away.

I have hit more birds just driving down the highway than have probably ever come close to running into a windmill. Not like the windmill is moving laterally at 60 MPH.

Pheasants and turkeys have enough mass they can bust your grille or crack your windshield, can't recall even coming close to a goose - well maybe domesticated geese.
 
Birds and windmills is an older windmill design issue -- back in the day when commercial windmills turned a lot faster and were a lot lower, they had a lot of bird strikes. Now that the big turbines are higher and slower, fewer bird strikes.

If these people love birds so much they should outlaw any animal that eats birds. Including other birds. Because I've see the result of an owl taking out a mockingbird and it wasn't pretty ...
