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.
