If you'll pardon a rather satirical comment, what one needs to do is 
convince the public that all these sources of electrical noise are 
interfering with their precious bodily fluids (sorry, reading too 
much milspec390),  and things would change overnight.   A better case 
might well be made for this than for the dangers from emanations from 
high voltage power lines, cell phone towers etc., which for most 
people are a long way away, yet are apparently terribly frightening.

Think of all those household appliances etc. gently toasting you for 
24 hours a day, then wonder why you don't feel so good these days.

Sorry, I have the day off, and the mental wheels are spinning a bit 
before settling down to the projects for the day.

best wishes,

Nick
