Founded by Mary Zimmerman of Knox it is dedicated to bringing awareness to the health risks that may result from power plants and power lines. Zimmerman said there is medical proof power plants and power lines can harm the public's health. She said thousands of medical studies link exposure to power plants and power lines to leukemia and other forms of cancer, multiple sclerosis and Lou Gehrig's disease. The majority of the electricity does not return on the wires, so people standing on the earth become part of the circuit. The body cannot take it.
Cellular function depends on plus and minus charges.
When an electric field is in the body, it upsets this cell membrane and how it functions. Zimmerman said utilities and government officials realize the health risks. It's sad, because it's the people of the United States fighting the corporations of the United States. You would think that the people's voice could affect the corporations. Zimmerman said Wisconsin should follow the Michigan attorney general's example and force utilities to keep electricity in wires.
