I would tell everyone to read this book. Then as the auther Joy tells us speak up. Don't let this happen in your area or any others you become aware of. It's too important to just ignore.

We all have to be aware and responsible for these heath hazards around us everyday.

  This is an Ed Begley Jr type of book. It really makes you aware and called to action. We all have to work and make choices for a better world.

Review:

an amazing story of issues with oil. Even american oil. It makes you wonder if oil was discovered today would we even touch it or use it ?

I have just started reading this and admire the author for being so brave in telling this true story. Her easearch was blocked at every path. It really makes us aware of how much we don't know or can find out.

This really hits home. I saw first hand the very high amount of sickness in New York State from high power lines and chemicals. The chemicals were at love canal. Thr high power line EMF was at schools who got free land right under power lines.

It takes a long time to notice the links . We are all exposed as resonable risks. This really makes me mad. I measure the very high EMF from powerlines with walking paths right under them. The power companies ignore and issue.

Just like cigartte smoking we continue to ignore health risks. Even when they are very clear and proven.
