I found out that the grass within the wind farms were shorter than the grass outside. I could not tell the reasons from electrical aspects or maybe the wind farms I have been to are special cases because the soil under that two wind farms are just not as good as the these of the other parts.They are in different locations. people always say wind farms is the most clean energy in the world now.
More Occam’s razor type discourse here. I too have been to MANY wind farms, and your observation is not without basis. But I came to a totally different, and in my opinion, more plausible explanation. Raptors, a major natural check and balance to rodent overpopulation, get killed in very high numbers by rotating windmill blades, especially the 3 blade smaller varieties. With fewer surviving raptors, the rodents eat more of the grasses, not just the seeds, as their population explodes rapidly. My conclusion was formed by seeing countless little field mice and prairie dogs scurrying around everywhere I walked. If EM fields were affecting the grass length, shouldn’t it have been affecting the rodents too? If not first? Same base observation, different conclusion based on evidence at hand, not pre-conceived ideas. Like the mercury rectifiers, a much more likely explanation.
I might be mistaken, but in one of the previous discussions I've been involved in on this very subject, someone had pointed to an epidemiological study on electric power line workers, a group that is disproportionately more exposed to HT lines and their magnetic fields, and there was no conclusive evidence of any increase rates of anything, including cancer. I'll see if I can find it.
