About 15 years ago a link from the Crystal River nuclear power plant
to the east coast of Florida was being built. A group of
environmentalists and an unnamed "Ph.D." were making the claim that by
quadrupling the voltage on the new lines that they were also quadrupling
the magnetic field. The new lines were twice as high as the lines they
replaced, but no one could convince the environmentalists that the field
would be reduced to one eighth of what the old system produced. They
were screaming that it would cause all kinds of cancer and kill all the
farm animals in the rural areas where most of the system was built.
