By: Arbor Books A particularly insidious form of pollution called “stray voltage” is impacting the health and agricultural sectors of American life and business, and the financial consequences could be enormous. Stray voltage—electrical current that travels through the ground and the infrastructure we all touch every day—has escaped the attention of major media. But its effect on the economy might be just as devastating as errant Wall Street banks, according to one expert. Russ Allen, author of Electrocution of America: Is Your Utility Company Out to Kill You?, says, “Stray voltage is a massive tax on the American economy because it causes health problems for people and losses in revenue for farms across the country. The cost to the government could be in the billions.” Mr. Allen also notes, “Because so many Americans are uninsured, and because stray voltage has been shown to exacerbate conditions such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis, the effect on the economy has been massive. The only problem is that no one is noticing.” Stray voltage has been deemed dangerous enough in Wisconsin, Michigan and Canada that legislation was introduced in an effort to regulate it. Most of that legislation has not passed and most people don’t know that it likely runs through the pipes of their homes, showers and pools, and that is has killed people, according to Mr. Allen. In Electrocution of America, Mr. Allen explores the cost of stray voltage to the economy through his own multimillion- “I wasn’t the only one affected. This happens all over the place,” says Mr. Allen. According to Electrocution of America, stray voltage hurts the economy in the following ways: • Increasing hospital visits • Loss of work time due to illness • Fines and lawsuits resulting from stray voltage mishaps • Decreased production of product on America’s farms Russ Allen lives outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and is a leader in the movement against electrical pollution animals.
