That's a tough one! I don't imagine you can get inside this pillar,
can you? No, that would make life too simple, as then you could go
over to Akihabara's little stalls and get some mesh insulators, put
them around the power lines, and ground them.

I've never seen any insulators large enough to go around the outside
of the pillar, but they might exist in the somewhere. Perhaps if you
contact an electrician, he might know how to get such insulation.
