Well, we can't be absolutely sure of this due to not understanding
exactly what Tesla thought he knew about the method of transmission. If
through the earth only, and not by classic RF, then the airwaves might
not have a microvolt in them. Agreed, that if the system worked, the
ecological questions and problems might outway any real advantage to his
system. But without proof of operation or knowledge of the method
envisioned by Tesla, we can't make blanket statements.
For a long time, the Shumann Cavity Resonances were touted as Tesla's
method, but the Corums recent work now looks like this is out and true
ground transmission might be the method. I must reference their talk at
the 1996 ITS conference. Again, I'm not big on wireless transmission of
power and think it a probable Tesla false vision.

Tesla never finished his station.... I don't think we need worry about
one of us crankin' one up again. Whose got the know how, much less the
bucks!
