I understand that some of the power poles where the tee cross is attached are where the danger lies. The power company was approached in that area and has been placing a perch above the normal "t" which provides protection to the eagles when they land. I am sure someone can explain the actual electric contact dangers.
Many of the larger power companies in the mid west and west are installing very large poles along the power lines with a prebuilt nest on top and the eagles HAVE been going to them and nesting so more are being installed in many, many areas. I believe I got this from the old Decorah comment section last year.
