Sam, I love your enthusiam, your photos, your proof that a mystifying new way of gardening has yielded results. Of course I be like "Let's do this" and I show these electro posts to my husband, an electrical engineer. Skepticism (scoffing?) continues as I share this new (to me) topic of electroculture ... He's reading now about "promising results" from a 1918 study by Missouri Botanical Gardens.

I'm looking up "The Road to Wellville."
And this book:
The Invisible Rainbow, A History of Electricity and Life -- the author Arthur Firstenberg explores the relationship between electricity and health. He makes a connection between poor health and the rise of electricity, radio, TV, and cell phones.
@owasco you must have read this.

5g is being rolled out across the country, despite growing evidence that it is disruptive to our health, our safety, and the environment. The Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it’s never been told before—exposing its very real impact on the biosphere and human health.

Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before—from an environmental point of view—by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

My Double E (electrical engineer) husband says this example is misleading:

Thomas Edison began experiencing extreme fatigue after doing experiments with electricity and the light bulb...

Edison was getting two hours of sleep per night. Sleep Deprivation, or electricity: Ockham's Razor would look first at his sleep habits.

"Firstenberg tends to focus on the single factor electromagnetic frequency (EMF) as a cause of poor health," Aaron Olson blogs. My husband nods. On the job, he sees electrical engineers with their Mountain Dew, processed food, lack of exercise, and other factors (besides exposure to electricity) and....

Ok, we started out searching online for more about #electroculture and I've fallen down another Rabbit Hole of related topics. E.E., the double-E, the electrical engineer, has now gone upstairs and closed the office door, working his job from home (the pandemic ended and everyone else is back at the cubicles, but he prefers working remotely).

The Double E

There's a poem in this, or a book, or a movie....

Do we have any electro superheroes? (Besides you, Sam!)

John Travolta starred in a movie about a guy zapped by a lightning bolt and suddenly gifted with mad math skills. I soooo want that to happen to me....
