What if someone planted a bunch of flourescent bulbs in the ground and no one

[HysteryDiagnosis]

came to see them? I think this is a pretty cool idea/art form/whatever you want to call it.

They are being lit by the magnetic fields generated by the high voltage cables above them. Makes one wonder what else they are affecting, perhaps teabaggers are more susceptible to em interference, at least that's the way it seems to me.

1. Tesla did this over a hundred years ago

in Colorado Springs, at his lab.
Nice article ... btw

2. I was an electrician in the Navy. We had to be real careful with fluorescent tubes.

Even "burned-out" ones could still glow so you would never have them outside at night because the radar would light them up. And when we threw them out they would be tied to a line and smashed against the side of the ship. If you just tossed them over the side, an enemy aircraft could make the tubes glow with their radar and have a nice lighted trail to your ship.

3. The Navy throws trash like that just out into the sea? F!

I guess I should've known, but it didn't occur to me.

8. That was in the seventies.

All trash and waste went in the water. Even in the harbor--although solid trash was taken away in trucks--the raw untreated sewage flowed out scuppers in the water. Ships didn't have any kind of on-board treatment facilities. Things are very different now.

6. I remember a photo from "OMNI" magazine back in the late '70s

of a crowd of protesters waving fluorescent tubes under a high-voltage tower like this.

The takeaway from this is that it seems prudent not to live too close to these things, although of course we are constantly bombarded by all sorts of radiation.
