You may be right Chris-there is no "body" of evidence. I've just read anecdotal accounts of rainy nights in Leeds or Bradford about the blue flashes, ozone and noise associated with Tram movements... leading to a certain "tension" in the air but "No ships and nobody drownded" as it says in The Lion and Albert!

Back at 240v 50 c/s, and a number of years ago, a young boy died from a brain tumour in Radcliffe near Bury. His parents ran a pub and he slept with his head right next to the mains distribution board for the very large premises [on the other side of the stud wall]. There was an unresolved controversy about whether this was a causal factor and the answer, in the end, was no! On the other hand Sweden bans properties being built within a certain distance of the mains [overhead grid] and you won't see a house with a Pylon next door although you might in the UK. The name of the pub? "The Sparking Clogg." I don't have fixed outlook on this, Tesla or anything else and there are always explanations either way but surely, that's the point! Remember when they said that AI and Robots would never be a threat and we'd all be on a 15 hour week! Tesla would definetely have a view there. Strangely and coincidentally Billion Dollar Deals [again tonight BBC2] covers it.
