Funny Story About Living Near High Voltage Transmission Lines

This was kind of a funny story I heard about some years ago: A dairy farmer living in Wisconsin close to high voltage utility company transmission lines could not turn out the lights in his barn. Even with the switches in the off position, night after night when he had finished his chores, he'd return out to the barn to see the light bulbs still glowing from the electrical charge hovering within the air. The cows were none too happy about it either, as a result of the constant light prevented them from sleeping, and they gave less milk. Though it received scant awareness from the mainstream press, this report leaked last October from the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection said there is a strong body of impressive evidence showing that even very low exposure to electromagnetic radiation has long-term effects on health.
