I have had a similar situation come up and we did successfully install a wireless network under high voltage lines. These were the main lines coming into the city on the HUGE tower. They were probably 100 feet to one side. I used this router:

Seems to work for the client. We had to travel about 250 feet to the next computer, through a metal building.

So to answer your question, while it MAY have an effect on your wireless I don't think that it makes it dangerous or impossible.
