First, the "miles and miles" of power lines is a neat tidy FALLACY that gets used to turn off the brain from thinking.As some folks have pointed out, it can certainly be looked at the other way, that the power cord is the first M, not the last, and in like manner, that it is an extension of the power supply wiring.
But the fact of the matter is, as far as your home electronic equipment is concerned, the power line 'starts' at the transformer out on the pole outside your house. This is the local low impedance source of the 240/120V power that enters the home, and thus, is the real beginning of the AC power line circuit.
For more on power cords and AC power issues, see:

and all the previous posts it references.That is, if you really want something reasonable to think about.
