I suspect the root of all of this is the fear of powerlines. When someone pointed out the field from your house wiring is stronger than the field from that 100' tall power line they say "Oh no! my house wiring is going to kill me faster than that dangerous power line" and off you go.
You define a fear, real or imagined and someone will come along with a solution, real or imagined.
There is a guy who will take care of your pets after the rapture, for a small fee.
