There's been a lot of debate about how living close to power lines and towers can be harmful to your health. What do you think? Do you live near any, and do you think your health has been affected?

I don't think that they're really that much of a factor. The science just isn't there.
I'd suspect that you actually get much more of an effect from all the electronics in your home. After all, you're much closer to those than you are a powerline 20 feet in the air. And think about all the wires inside your walls.
On the other hand, I probably wouldn't buy a house underneath one, either.;-)
