202. Let me tell you someting I'm very clear on, regarding research.

Sun May 19, 2013, 10:42 PM

May 2013

You don't trumpet your hypothesis as a proven conclusion. To demonstrate a cluster, you have to show that there's an above-expected incidence, and thus far, I've only see references to anecdotal reports. There may be a cluster, but that hasn't been confirmed.

As for genetics, you apparently don't understand that genetics can play an important role in disease, including cancer. Yes, environment is important, and environmental factors could certainly be at play here if there's a cluster, but with a group living in relative isolation genetics might be a factor, as could other things like contaminants in the water supply.

Stray voltage? Where do you imagine all this voltage is coming from? Are we supposed to think that the turbines are so poorly designed that significant amounts of stray voltage are gadding about, waiting to zap unwary cows? I'd like to see some documentation for that.
