During an approach to land, the pilot elected to go-around. When he advanced the throttle, the engine lost power. Subsequently, the airplane struck a power line along the extended centerline for runway 21, then impacted the ground in about a 60 degree nose down attitude. The temperature and dew point were 59 and 35 degrees F, respectively. According to icing probability charts, conditions were conducive to carburetor icing. The pilot stated that he had not used carburetor heat before the loss of engine power.
