Does charging current due to line-ground capacitance decrease as tower height increases?

 
I charging = w x C x V,

non of the above depends on the height of Tower. C depends on conductors radius, spacings and length of transmission line.

 
I believe that charging current will decrease as height increases. The capacitance is dependent upon conductor radius, spacing, length of transmission line... but these spacings include the distance between the conductor and ground.
