I work for one of the largest power utility companies in NY state. Our lineman work on these lines daily at hands on distances while energized and a good share of them have over 30 years in the job with no ill effects. There was at one time, discussion about being in the near proximity of the magnetic field created by the current passing through the lines. To my knowledge it was proven that we are constantly being exposed to this from many sources, such as the wiring in our homes, or being near any electric device such as a toaster, television, or power tool. You are wise to be protective of yours and your family's health, but I don't see this as an issue in my opinion.
