In the early 70’s I gave comprehensive presentations about all manner of power production.

One of the more ‘interesting’ comments I fielded from an audience - in FAR west Oregon - had to do with the commenter worrying about the radiation that would get into the house through the electrical outlets.

I countered with: “there’s a large garbage-to-electricity plant a few miles from here. Are you also worried about your house filling up with garbage???”

I kept a close eye on my rear-view mirror all the way back to ‘civilization!

“had to do with the commenter worrying about the radiation that would get into the house through the electrical outlets.”

I’ve known people that thought electricity would leak from the outlets if they weren’t covered.
