A lawyer recalls a transmission-line proceeding involving health and environmental evidence and describes…

As an attorney, I participated in litigation to oppose the placement of a High Voltage 765 KV Transmission Line across farmland and Native American territories in upstate New York in 1977. We presented evidence of harm from Canadian records where such lines already existed. The evidence showed genetic changes in farm animals and in farm vegetation, and increased cases of cancer in people who lived and worked close to the high voltage lines. The Court wrote a thorough opinion reviewing the evidence and concluded that the New York State Power Authority had to purchase a right of way twice as wide as the one they proposed, to minimize the expected harm to surrounding human and other life. AS a result of our experience, my husband and I have minimized our exposure to EMFs and WIFI and mobile phones as much as possible and will not live within sight of a medium or high voltage transmission line. As a wellness adviser in addition to my legal practice, I advise the same to my clients and have met a number of people who feel uneasy and hypersensitive around EMFs. Recent research continues to accumulate the same kind of results as we heard during that court case.
