1. An electrical grounding assembly, comprising: an electrically conductive metal grounding substrate that is electrically connectable to a structure to be electrically grounded; a corrosion-protective jacket on the grounding substrate, wherein the jacket is electrically conductive and water impermeable, and comprises a polymeric matrix that provides the jacket with water impermeability and an electrically conductive material dispersed in the polymeric matrix that provides the jacket with electrical conductivity; and
a connector for electrically connecting the grounding substrate to an electrically conductive line, wherein the jacket has a jacket thickness of at least 0.6 inches.
