Wireless Energy Transmission by Nikola Tesla pointed to an entirely different approach. Using the earth as a resonant cavity, signals of electric conduition could be intoned and subsequently amplified by "striking" at the appropriate time and place on the globe, eventually saturating the well of the earth with such strong ambient electrical potential that anyone could stick an antenna into the ground and harvest electricity. Of course, no one has really demonstrated this yet, and these findings are based on my own research, but Tesla surely thought he was onto something and it does seem like a logical endpoint of wireless energy, that it would be freely and easily available anywhere on the planet. It is very much different from putting up cell towers and blasting powerful radiation, but maybe we will compromise with a hybrid approach.

My original comment was meant to remind you that many who looked at that part of tesla's work concluded it was mostly not going to work and kind of a dream.

Then I reminded myself that many of the technologies I'm using to tell you that suffered the same so, eh, I don't believe it will but who knows! And I hope it does.

:D Precisely!
