Open with LBRYDr. Heather Heying shares that the high-voltage lines going up near people’s homes could have the aesthetic and—more important—health costs mitigated if those lines were put underground, due to the potential to insulate the magnetic fields.

They're doing this in your backyard. They're not doing it in their backyard."
