Residents of Nassau County, New York, are significantly impacted by the PSEG Long Island’s plans to install high-voltage transmission lines across our communities. These lines, meant to strengthen the area's power grid, pose several risks and have ignited widespread concern among community members.

The proposed high-voltage transmission lines will have towering structures that stand meters above homes, disrupting the scenic beauty and neighborhood aesthetics we cherish. Such developments are not just unsightly but may also decrease the property values in our beloved neighborhoods, translating to economic losses for homeowners.

Moreover, the potential health impacts associated with high-voltage power lines are alarming. While research is ongoing, some studies suggest a possible link between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from these lines and an increased risk of health problems, including certain types of cancer. It is imperative to err on the side of caution when it comes to our community’s health.

Let's not forget the environmental consequences of installing these lines. The construction process will inevitably lead to land disturbance, which can result in the destruction of local ecosystems and habitats. We need to protect our environment and ensure that any technological advancement does not come at the cost of nature.

PSEG Long Island must explore alternative solutions that do not carry such heavy costs. Options such as underground cabling or enhancing current infrastructure could be viable without compromising the wellbeing of our communities and the environment.

Demand action now—urge PSEG Long Island to listen to its community members and withdraw support for this detrimental project. Sign this petition to make your voice heard and help safeguard the future of Nassau County.
