Very easy to say someone is lying. Are the other five research labs that found DNA damage lying too? Are you saying that Dr Lai is lying because he couldn't possibly be correct? Well I think it is possible that he could be correct.
I'd love to do so. Unfortunately neither I or anyone else knows how to describe the interactions.
Dr Henry Lai is the leading researcher in the field who has proposed a possible mechanism (see http://www.leukaemiaconference.org/programme/speak ers/day3-lai.pdf). He and others found that non-ionizing power-frequency EMFs can cause both single and double-strand DNA breaks.
More research needs to be done to understand fully and I hope they win the money. Just because we don't understand the mechanism, it doesn't mean things aren't happening.
Sorry AC but people _do_ complain about the EMF from flourescent lights, CRTs and powerlines. They are all possible health risks.
It is usually assumed that the earth's magnetic field is not harmful since we have evolved with it around us for millions of years.
Main-made electromagnetic fields have only been around for a hundred years or so at the most.
It is time to wake up to the fact that these studies show that there are mechanisms at work other than heating effects.
If these studies are correct, then it is wrong to say "people have not shown such interaction".
Actually there is a very real chance that FF will get more votes than the Democrats, particularly in South Australia.
As to FF supporting same sex couples... bullshit! Their policy says "Family grows out of heterosexual relationships between men and women" and they are committed to "Affirming and defending the institution of marriage as being a union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others".
Note that in the Senate, the Greens have still preferenced the Democrats above the ALP in every state despite the Democrats not returning the favour.
It would appear that Family First can't wait to get their censorship system started.
The website of their backers - the Assemblies of God -- has mysteriously become 'under construction' after being available and full of content only a few days ago.
1. A transformer is generally considered to be a point source if not observed too closely.
2. You will find a "line source" of magnetic field if you split the Active and Neutral wires of any power cord when current is flowing. Normally when the two wires are side-by-side the magnetic fields cancel each other out but dividing them will result in a magnetic field that drops off very slowly.
3. Blocking magnetic fields is indeed difficult. You can use something called "mu-metal" to help somewhat. It is very expensive.

I suggest you look at one of Henry Lai's recent papers at http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/members/2004/6355/6355.p
It has his email address and phone number on it and I'm sure he would only be too happy to discuss his research with you.
By the way, I like your Futurepower website.

I believe the precautionary principle should be applied here. It is not "BS" to take precautions when there is a reasonable possiblility of harm.

The Democrats and Family First have done a preference deal ensuring that Democrats have preferenced Family First above most other parties.
A vote for the Democrats in the Senate is a vote for the Family First party.
Voting "above the line" for the Democrats will help get Family First elected.
