...interesting, but *I* would hesitate to walk, bicycle, or drive UNDER those lines for just the reasons Wiki quote (corona, insulation breakdowns, ozone problems,etc.).
...it's also instructive how nowhere is there a direct statement of AC-efficiency vs. DC-efficiency.
...sorta like comparing passing XX-watts through a transformer: AC is easy and about 85-98% efficient; but DC cannot be passed through a transformer. Of course, conversely, DC can be 'stored' but AC can't.
...and, either way, just about ANY voltage, AC or DC above 50V can and often is lethal...just two different ways to get zapped.
