Press
Release Body: (DEPERE, WI)—As the country’s economic
crisis worsens even while the US government pumps billions of
dollars into failing banks and industries, another major threat
to the nation’s financial stability is going unnoticed.
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-dollar lawsuit
against Wisconsin Public Service, which he won.
“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. He won a
multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Wisconsin Public Service for
the damage they caused because of a poorly designed electrical
distribution system.
