There are many causes to hum, IMO. John is just postulating a general case here Vic. There are only two fullscale BPL circuits in the UK when I looked a few months back - checked on your prompting. This does not make the general case you investigate in the US- nor does your pollution get over here by your own admission that humans cannot affect worldwide balance that much. Your point doesn't discriminate between broad hum pollution and specific cases like BPL.
