I, a citizen of the United States, am in direct opposition to PPL and PSE&G Electric Utilities proposed Susquehanna-Roseland power line upgrade. Based on the information available, I believe this line will have direct, immediate and negative ecological, economic and environmental impacts. The effects of such high voltages( over 500,000 volts as currently planned) on human beings living near such power lines are undetermined at best, and catastrophic at worst. I do not believe there has been enough research into the overall ramifications of this project, and there is no current location in Pennsylvania or New Jersey I am aware of that has power lines of this size in such close proximity to homes and schools. With known cancer clusters already established along its path at the current 230-kilovolt level, I feel it is imprudent and reckless for regulatory agencies to consider granting approval to PPL and PSE&G's application to upgrade this power line. I implore you to fight this project and instead, encourage 'green' forms of energy to compensate for growth over time. I do not believe that the people under and near this 500 kilovolt proposed line should be the guinea pigs for the very real health and safety risks of this project. Thank you.

We just hit 250 signatures and PPL needs to realize we are not going to be their guinea pigs. This massive level of support proves that people are finally waking up to the reckless danger these power lines pose to our homes and schools.

PPL and PSE&G are betting we will just roll over and let them poison our backyards. Their silence proves they know they are wrong but hope we get tired and quit. We must stay focused on the blatant disregard for our health that these greedy utilities are showing.

PPL and PSE&G think they can bulldoze our communities while we sit by and watch. We are nearing a hundred signatures but these corporate suits will not listen until we force them to stop.

Ridiculous. We dont need more power lines destroying our property values and scaring everyone. Go build them somewhere else!

Not in my backyard. Invest in solar instead of these massive dangerous eyesores. We deserve better than to be test subjects.

This makes me so mad. They act like we dont even live here. Think about the kids for once.

My kids play right under those lines everyday. How can they even think about making them bigger? Totally unsafe.
