I don't think high voltage distribution wires (in air on poles or towers) are coated with insulation. That would just add weight and... -

W = I ⋅ V ; If you double the line voltage, then for the same power, the load current will be halved. Then consider power lost in the...

Power lines are resistors. The more current that flows through them, the greater the voltage drop from source to user, and thus the...
