Investing in property near power lines

I was reading a post on another forum somewhere where a new homeowner was freaking out because they didn't notice that there were power lines 100 ft or so from their home. It got me to thinking, and I decided to dig up a site to help them answer their questions.

There is a great FAQ on Power Lines and Cancer from a PHD in the area. The link is: http://www.mcw.edu/gcrc/cop/powerlines-cancer-FAQ/toc.html

It is a good read for anyone nervous about the cancer risks associated with power lines. Personally, I am not convinced either way - I'm just here sharing the love.....
