As long as they're not touching more than one wire, or a wire and a metal object, they're safe. If they touch multiple wires or metal, the electricity uses their body to travel through, and it's bye-bye squirrel.

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.

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.
Electric lines are used to transmit electricity from power plants to homes, businesses, and industries. They create a network that distributes electrical power to different locations for lighting, heating, cooling, appliances, and machinery to function.
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.
No, not with current technology.
