The electromagnetic waves given off by high voltage power lines are beyond the visible part of the spectrum.
They are too long. For a good comparison of different waves, look up "electromagnetic spectrum".
There is only one type of wave that humans can see. Visible light. If the wave given off by the electric power line is visible light, then yes. If it is any other type of wave than it is not possible to see.
Yes. What you need to look at is the electromagnetic spectrum. There are many great graphical illustrations of this on the web.
They are way below the frequencies we see as light. Their frequency (60hz) is just inside the bottom of the audio range.
No, an electric line itself is not a power source. The power source is typically a generating station that produces electricity, which is then transmitted through the electric lines to a house or building to provide electricity for various appliances and devices.
Your electric company- SMUD, for example.

The customer care number for Tucson Electric Power in Arizona is 520-623-7711; the number to call Tucson Electric Power for emergancies such as downed power lines is 520-623-3251.
No, pylons (or transmission towers) are not electric at the bottom. The electricity is carried through the overhead power lines that are attached to the pylons. The pylons are designed to support the power lines and keep them elevated above the ground.

Yes. Even fairly weak tornadoes can bring down power lines. These power lines create a risk of electrocution in the tornado's aftermath.
The power lines are the responsibility of the city or county you live in and are not things that a contractor will accept jobs to work on. If your lines are obstructed, call the county electric officials and they will come out and help, it's their responsibility.
