Dundee Council are planning to build large new primary school and nursery alongside high-voltage overhead powerlines. Despite the advice from both the UK Department of Health SAGE Process report, the Health Protection Agency and the Westminster Parliamentary Cross Party Inquiry Report (see below) into developments close to powerlines, Dundee Council rely instead on information gained from mis-interpreting an electrical industry "Fact Sheet". They have decided to build the new school and nursery right next to the powerlines when they have another site, well away from the powerlines, that would cost the same to develop and meet all their non-financial requirements.

Parties object to placement of 280-mile line across West Virginia

by George Hohmann

Daily Mail Business Editor

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The state Public Service Commission has granted 285 county commissions, communities, companies, groups and individuals the right to participate in a case that will decide whether two utilities will be allowed to build a 280-mile electric transmission line across West Virginia.

The Barbour, Braxton, Jefferson, Lewis, Tucker and Upshur county commissions were granted permission to intervene, or participate, in the case, as were the Jefferson County Board of Education, the city of Charles Town, the Sierra Club, the West Virginia Nature Conservancy, the West Virginia State Building and Construction Trades Council, the commission's own Consumer Advocate Division, and the West Virginia Energy Users Group, which represents large industrial electricity customers.

NV Energy's request to build a transmission line through three Henderson neighborhoods met a brick wall in the Henderson City Council on Tuesday night.

After taking more than two hours of testimony from NV Energy and concerned neighbors, who filled the council chambers and spoke against the proposal with voices that frequently rippled with emotion, the Council unanimously denied the utility's application.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News

Like so many West Virginians, Virginians and Marylanders who are affected by the proposed PATH power line, I am trying to sort out fact from fiction. I am really troubled by the risk of childhood leukemia being imposed upon our children, grandchildren and future generations.

The high-voltage alternating current in the transmission lines like PATH causes “electro-magnetic fields” or EMF. The power companies behind PATH deny any connection between EMF from high voltage lines and health risks.
