The pessimist in me says developing this tech into a standard would be handing terrorists a very quick and effective way to shear power lines.

"Terrorists" could just bolt a buzzsaw to a drone, drive a mile away from the power line in a truck with a few barrels of extra diesel and a generator and cut away until they get bored of it.

But I see an opportunity for the security theater industry there...
