    I routinely drive under a +/-500KV _DC_ international power
    line, calmly moving megwatts, likely including some of those
    that power this message.

Yes one runs down the Sacramento- San Joaquin Valley PG&E from Diablo
Nuclear Plant I think and Lake Shasta.

Have you hooked this to your service entrance yet? :-^)
