I went tot he link you provided jsut in case there was soemthing new but my provious knowledge and it said nothign about burning out electric motors much less power lines. You could certainly induce power surges in electric lines and cause blackouts but that wouldn't damage the lines themselves.
If you wanted to do long or at least medium term damage to infrastructure you'd drop a bunch of those armor-piercing 2000-lbers they used all over Iraq.
