Electrical Shielding for the Homeowner?

AugstWest asks: "As more research comes out showing that high voltage electricity sources can cause cancer and other health problems, I was wondering what the geeks among us could come up with for electrical shielding ideas. I've got a high-voltage transformer just off my backyard to power the train that also runs practically through my backyard, and it would be nice if I could somehow shield us from it. Of course, if the shield could also be an induction coil to sap power for my house, that wouldn't suck either..."

    But TFA is from 1996!!??

    Obviously you weren't paying attention. It's clear that there's a conspiracy to cover up the truth here, because in nearly 10 years the [Clinton] White House hasn't commented on this issue. I for one am going to rush out and build a device to stop any more EMF from entering my home. I'll do that as soon as I finish building my equipment that prevents the last great White House coverup - alien anal probes.

    Seriously, I've thought about taking myself off Ask Slashdot, but it's like turning away when you're about to witness a train wreck. It's just too hard to ignore.
