Dr. Moira Gunn speaks with Paul Brodeur, author of "The Great Power-Line Cover-Up ... How the Utilities and the Government Are Trying to Hide the Cancer Hazards Posed by Electromagnetic Fields," They discuss the basic reasons why this exposure is unhealthy, the problems that have been found, and the groundswell of citizen response to the severity of the problem.
