Tesla originally developed the concept of wireless power many years ago.
Edison killed it for the same reason that someone will kill it again.
If there are no wires...how do you meter it and send bills??
A bit more detail on Tesla There was a post on this forum (I looked but could not find it) about a man who built his house too close to over headlines so was getting electric shocks for his building. Obviously eddy-currents induced by the electromagnetic fields of the lines, and was he not trying to claim from the Power Company for his own stupidity ? In fact if I remember was there not a photo of him holding a flourecent tube which was lit due to the EMF?
