How true. Otherwise we could conclude football brings on fall weather.
the numbers also match up with poverty figures, and guess where most high power lines run? through the poorer areas. there are too many factors at play. until i see a study with lab animals kept near replicas of high power lines, i pass it off.
That is an excellent idea - maybe even using lab animals ket under actual power lines. The effect might be due to changes in the soil chemistry, plumbing, etc..
Would make for a great high school science project. The main difficulty is the overall cancer rate is so low it would take a lot of animals. Then there is the cost of the autopsies. Otherwise it might make for an interesting nationwide school science project.
