live near powerlines?

[Matt Batson]

I'm looking at a house on 5 acres in central florida as my primary residence.
At the back of the acreage are some of those really large powerlines (sorry, not a electrician...dont know how many KW).
I would say they are about 3 to 400 ft away from the house...a decent distance away.

Anyone know about the risks involved? I know living underneath can cause certain cancer...but how close is too close?

I would imagine this has been common knowledge for so long that homes are not built within a dangerous distance anymore?
