If I remember correctly, what is "moving" to generate the current depends on the medium - in metals, it is electrons; in electrolytes and gases, it is ions; in semiconductors, it is the 'holes' formed in their structure when an electron is released from the covalent pair between atoms. Anyway, I don't think it is as simple as you make it.I am pretty sure that household electricity is unattached electrons, not ions. So, the way to disrupt electricity without shutting down bio-electricity is to just make it so electrons can no longer float free of a nucleus. That way, ions can still exist because ions are primarily created when one atom steals an electron from another.
Again, the big problem with this change to the way electricity would work is that it would literally snuff out the sun in an instant because the sun is made of plasma and plasma is unattached electrons. If the sun turned from plasma into just hot gas, it would not be able to last much longer after that and would become destabilized and dissipate. Or, even if it did stay together and stay ignited, the level of heat it put off would be reduced to less than 1/10 of it's current heat, and it would no longer be able to reach Earth.
Again though, if I looked into household/industrial electricity a little more then I am pretty sure I could find a way it could be disrupted without disrupting bio electricity or plasma. I think you are getting way too bogged down in the definition of electricity and not thinking enough about the manner in which electricity actually works right now. Try to think outside the box a bit and consider other solutions.
You can't say that electricity does not exist only because metals will magically stop being conductive. If so, just use a water solution of a soluble salt as the medium.
These two statements sound mutually excluding each other. If electrons can not be released from the atoms, then you won't have ions either.just make it so electrons can no longer float free of a nucleus
That way, ions can still exist because ions are primarily created when one atom steals an electron from another.
If you mean that there won't be free lone electrons, and electrons will only hop between atoms when they hit each other, then I don't really think this is possible. And even if it is, unless ions cease to exist as well, electricity would not either. It will be equivalent to having a lesser number and variety of conductive materials. Metal wires may stop being usable, but then people can switch to thin long pipes full of solutions. Well, it is just an example. I am not certain if this is possible, but at least I find it logical.
