An Attack on U.S. Citizens
Many U.S. citizens are being attacked, and the warfront is much closer than you may realize
Another Major Side Effect
So imagine the power lines get built. We go about our daily lives trying to ignore the towers in our yards and the loud crackle of the power lines that is augmented by humidity and rain. Some of us try to sell our homes and land in search of something uncorrupted, but will probably have to settle for a price much smaller than if the towers were not present. Those of us who stay eventually learn to live with new landscape and eventually our rage dissipates somewhat.
Fast-forward ten years and check the leukemia and cancer rates among the citizens, especially children, of Fauquier County. Chances are Fauquier has a much higher rate of cancer, leukemia, and depression than it did in 2005. Proximity to such power lines have been proven a likely cause of almost 1/3 of the incidences of leukemia, cancer in both children and adults, depression, and even 1/10 of miscarriages, according to the UN’s World Health Organization and other specialists.
The Good News
The good news is that this hasn’t happened yet. The power line plan is still being negotiated and many citizens are standing up to fight Dominion. Virginia still has it’s beautiful countryside that can trick a visitor into thinking he has been transported to Western Europe, and the important historical landmarks have not yet been ruined. Now is the time for people of all ages and locations to take up in the fight for, not because we are protecting Virginia’s citizens and history, but because that history is important to the evolution of our entire country, and those Virginia citizens are also citizens of the United States of America.
The Piedmont Environmental Council is actively fighting Dominion Power and their website provides ways for citizens (of all states) to help protect Virginia. Please visit pecva.org to learn how you can join in the fight.
