[...] "I can see from my tractor that they are all skin and bones. It's enough to make you cry." On the other side of the small road that winds along his property, a short distance from the town of Mazeyrat-d'Allier, in the Haute-Loire department, Frédéric Salgues can spot what he considers to be the cause of his cows' problems, less than 300 meters away: a cell phone tower commissioned by Orange on June 28, 2021.

[...] On May 23, the administrative court of Clermont-Ferrand ordered the 4G antenna's cessation of operation for a period of two months.

This measure, unprecedented in France, should become effective within three months. The objective is to carry out an expert assessment in order to "establish a potential causal link between the behavior of the cattle and this antenna." The administrative court highlights "a significant drop in the quality and quantity of milk produced, a serious disruption in the behavior of the herd and its voluntary denutrition and abnormally high deaths.

    I've lived in California since 1961 and have driven past San Onefre a lot more than a couple times and never had any problems there. I've never heard of cars stalling because of electrical fields there, and neither has Google nor Duckduckgo. Do you actually have any reference, or are you just testing your troll chops?

    It was in the local news around 1975... about the same time EI replaced points. IIRC it was the Ford EI box causing problems. Those same Ford EI boxes had a problem with engine stalling over rough roads or by simply tapping on the module box.
