Stone Harbor - The new power poles in Stone Harbor are not only ugly, but they will create a serious health hazard. ELF radiation is a byproduct of high voltage lines and has been known to cause serious disease in children. 69KV lines do not belong in residential neighborhoods, period. The new substation should have been relocated to a non-residential area with lower voltage distribution throughout the island. I have no doubt that cost concerns drove this ill-conceived plan but the long-term cost with increased health costs, law suits and reduced property values will be greater.
