Any way to save a wisteria vine on a power line?

i bought an older house 3 years ago and one of the selling points was the mature vegetation/landscaping, namely this very large wisteria plant that runs up a utility pole. it must be decades old as the trunk is huge. a tree group working for the power company came by yesterday and said they needed to cut it down. i about died. any suggestions? they said an estimater could come out and give me a bid on putting up a new pole, but it could cost thousands. as this is what i see out my bedroom window each day (and smell in the spring) and it is a huge screen of privacy with my neighbor's property, i'm wondering what my options are -- if i have any rights, can i take cuttings (it's winter now), what would it take to plant another? i'm just desperate to lose this...
