Does anyone know if there are any rulings from TVA or the state of Va. on how close power lines can be to ones home. There are 4 lines within 25 -35 feet of my home, they are level with the house and one carries 75,000 volts on it, one is a cable line and the other two carry electricity also. I've been reading about the effects of EMFs and I am very concerned. I've asked them(the local electric company) to move them but their response is we will put a pole in your front yard and elevate them, thats all we can do. First I don't want a pole right in my front yard a few feet from the house nor do I want to continue to have these power lines in front of my house. Are there any laws that might help me? I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but the truth is I'm more concerned about the health risk than anything else.
