There is a purposed route 250ft from our home for a grid growth project in Ohio (Greentown-Thistlewood (OH) 765-KV Line Project) and the grid company claims there is no threat to being so close. But if you stand under these lines with a fluorescent light bulb it lights up. I’m not believing there are no short or long term health effects to the environment or ourselves. We have a 15 month old son and plan to have more kids in the future. We are very scared and concerned about the unknown effects of EMF exposure from such power lines so close to our home. Thank you.
