The correct answer is that this is a contract dispute, not a state or federal dispute.
The electrical company leases a right of way for the lines across private property. There's a contract in place for that lease.
Does that contract have anything to the effect of "property owner will guarantee a stable, non-interfering electromagnetic environment in this right of way"?
