German snake oil wizards to the rescue! The "Atomstromfilter" (nuclear

at _least_ 20+y now: https://traumshop.net/produkt/atomstromfilter/
It claims to filter power generated by nuclear power plants out of
your power flow at the wall socket ;-)
That's a wonderful joke site. They don't make it really obvious, but products
like a "dark LED" and "frozen hot water" are a hint.

electrical wire through the walls directly to the breaker box.
Then you gotta upgrade to the breaker box that was disinfected from
transient spirits through an exorcism, and then special 24K solid
gold-contact breakers in inert nylon housings.
But, how much good will that do, if you don't also upgrade the drop from the
pole?
. . . and, do you know whether the electrons that you are receiving are from
nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, or fossil?
