EMF is an issue and it costs utilities and rate-payers a fortune.

Google EMF lawsuits.

Undocumented info on Path 15 - millions paid to a rancher when EMF readings were not as promised in the design.

Utilities spend money putting cable underground or re-route around schools and hospitals every day. Here's a paragraph taken from a proposal to a city that had EMF problems at a school. The document is confidential so I can't share all of it.

Option 1 for overhead construction of a single circuit 66 kV line in a relocated 105’ wide easement as shown in Figure 2 – Profile #A and Profile #B does not result in magnetic field levels that are acceptable. Table 1 shows that at Building E (at 150’ from the transmission line to the nearest building edge) the magnetic field level is 2.9 mG under 95% loading conditions. Building E would have to be moved significantly farther west (more than 200 feet) to achieve target EMF levels. For Building A – Profile #B shows the magnetic field level is 2.0 mG (at 185’ from the transmission line to the nearest building edge).

2003 Kinectrics tests of ACCC showed a decrease in EMF. At some point CTC will try to quantify. They discovered another part of the EMF equation which they can use to their advantage as well as a way to configure cables that reduces EMF. This is not in the public domain. I prefer not to share it because I am not fully comfortable in describing it technically.

Right now they have less sag going for them. Believe it or not, 10 to 20 feet means a lot in EMF reduction.

Good reading:
