gc1111 is on a distinguished road
There are some small racing boats (e.g. Hobie cats) that allow carbon fiber usage in the masts. At every regatta (and other places) there are major warnings about power lines and carbon fiber masts. So I think lots of people are aware of the problem. Whether or not they respond appropriately is another matter :-)
