 Not to mention the people living within a 1/4 mile along the run,
(florescent lights that never shut off? a constant HUMMMMMM
reverberating from those big towers. ect.)
 But then,
In an ac , hv transmission area, you could steal a little reactive juice
with a cleverly built inductor/capacitor set-up?
