And when you get that information (don't forget the relative position, 
spacing, and bend of the power lines), I'd like to see at least a summary
of the relevant equations, hopefully obviously related to Maxwell's equations
(I doubt you're going to find any standard transformer equations for *that*
geometry), which say it can't be done. I'm not convinced it can't.
