Hi,

So, why can’t people living within a few hundred feet of high voltage
transmission lines tap useful “free” power with a 60 Hz receiver circuit?

Are you sure they can't?
I heard that a man with a house near a power line built a circuit which
tapped 60 Hz energy. Shortly after turning it on however, he got a visit
fromt the power company, who confiscated it.
