Sure. In all seriousness, we're always exposed to unanticipated
dangers that take years to be understood. Rome and lead poisoning
spring to mind.
I do believe large power lines are problematic, I certainly wouldn't
feel safe living under one.
Actually, in this age of minimization, I'm hoping we can build small,
safe, independent power sources that work at the neighborhood level
and expand out in scope where needed into county and state size. Our
current grid (no pun!) is a mess and has huge losses. Kim Sorvig has
some great insights into these technologies.
But one does have to wince at Santa Fe's constant buffoonery.
