To the original poster who wanted to know the effect of power lines
on the home resale value.  I just bought my home and hopefully will not
be in the market again.  Anyway I would not buy a home near power lines.
Maybe it's because of all the speculation of EMF and cancer.  Other than
that I really can't put my finger on it.
On another note, that house I just bought is in a small neighborhood,
about 40 residents, where everyone has a lagoon in their back yard. 
I've been talking to the neighbors and found out that at least 9 people
in the neighborhood died of cancer in the past 5 years, including previous
owners of my house.  Maybe it's that Jersey water..........
