Is living in close proximity to power lines no good?

There’s a new wind farm being built soon around my area. Well a couple hundred ks away next year. The government believe it or not are having a crack.
And the amount of solar farms around here is crazy.

Wind power kills more people each year than nuclear power does.
Same with hydro.

I looked into renewable energy for a business. It was just way too unreliable. Technology isnt right yet

Drop manufacturing for a day due to unreliable power and how much $ is lost. If you want emergency power buying at the spot rate, kill your business.

Until they get their act together it’s power lines, just don’t live near them so you don’t morph into a 2 headed person

Here's the thing, if you own a property with a tower on it, you could earn big $$$.

This is what happened to a mate of mine... a loaded guy he was close with passed away. He left a property to him in his will.
  • It is a duel property (2 blocks of land together)
  • One block of land is vacant land however it has a mobile phone tower on it owned and maintained by Telstra
  • The second block of land has a house on it which Telstra use as an office/NOC
  • He currently receives $200,000 rent from Telstra per year which also increases due to inflation

Yep. 100% true. And not just overall. Nuclear kills less people per energy created.

Coal kills the most, then oil. Nuclear kills the least.

I worked with a guy who had one smack in the middle of his back yard at Horton park
He got the land 10k cheaper
He looked like he had radiation poisoning before me moved there
I’ll try and find a google earth of it

These ugly fuckers is what I'm talking about...

I’ve seen a car right in front of me drive straight through one. White flame rose straight up and I felt like my eyebrows got singed (they didn’t though).
The guy ended up in another car, was absolutely plastered and smelt like he drank half a bottle shop

Alcohol,the substance that keeps on giving!

Btw would you pay over a mill to live under the powerlines of Punchbowl?

Only benefit is if you have powerlines aero time rules are no flights or helicopters to be within 800 metres of a power line so you can grow all the marijuana you want
