Mind you, electricity in living things - including us - is everywhere. And, as well as the electric impulses and potentials in nerves, muscles, inside and outside cells etc etc, some creatures use electricity to communicate, navigate and obtain a mate or what they just ate. Wouldn't be surprised if you could run your kettle off a trained electric eel. Or at least a lightbulb. Don't suppose anyone has tried it though.
This might be a useful starting place for some people. Once upon a time I was given sight of a classified MOD report but I better not say anything about that.
"Think kettle,…” Nice list. I’d also add the “return currents” passing through the earth by one’s abode on their way back to one’s local electricity generation plant.
In addition to the electric fields from potential, there are also the magnetic fields to consider which are related to the current vector by the right-hand rule.
Well that's the billion dollar question. At some stage I might review some of the studies. OK, so we better make that a multi trillion dollar question.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the US lawyers who negotiated the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, earning fees in the billions of dollars were looking for another large harmful industry to go after. The big telecoms companies were riding high at the time and there was emerging medical evidence of brain damage caused by use of mobile phones. As far as I know they abandoned any potential class action activity. Whether that was because the link was not proven or they were bought off in some way, I have no idea.
We may never know given our civilisation has no option but to continue pushing out greater levels of electro anything. Casualties and poor health will simply become part of the equation of modern life even if the WHO/IARC boldly declare RF EMR to be a class 1 known carcinogen tomorrow.
"A kettle does not communicate in the formal sense of communication"
Hmm, if my kettle spoke to me I would freak out!
LOL - I’m sure Elon is working on it!

But maybe your kettle whistles at you?
No it's a dumb electric kettle and I'm too old for the sort of whistles young ladies get :-D
"Don’t get electrocuted folks and you’ll be fine.” - Love it. It’s like “Don’t take <new pharma drug X> if you are allergic to its ingredients."
Sometimes the elephant is so big all you can see is grey.
🤣
This landed in my inbox this morning too, which I’ll share at risk for having not first read far into it -https://open.substack.com/pub/unbekoming/p/interview-with-roman-s-shapoval

Good thing you haven’t or I’ll have to proxy shoot me

A week’s holiday with Mrs. Dee might provide the imposition sweetener for a week’s worth of measurements with the big switch in the off position. :-)
I'm also thinking Bollinger and trashy novels...
C'est magnifique

Oh yes indeed! I'll be swinging over to magnetism at some point. (see what I did there?)
Surprised you haven’t built a FaraDee cage to protect yourselves.
The interesting thing about Faradee cages is that they can backfire. I might cover this later on.
What evidence is there that electro smog is harmful?
