If I have become mean-spirited (which I don't believe I have) it's due to the prevalent Anti-Scientific trend in thinking. If you don't or can't test hypotheses, then they remain unproven guesses. The hypotheses that Jack Campin just suggested is certainly plausible; the expected result if it were, in fact , true would be an increase in lung cancer near power lines. The supposed problem, I believe , is leukemia.
In any case, the hypothesis is easily testable by exposing lab rodents to dusty environments with and without low-frequency EMR being present.
