"From what I understand, the idea was to transmit ground currents, not
radio
waves. Several people have done the ground current experiments, and they
seem to work. However, the environmental impact of such a system can
only
be imagined ;)

	The key word above is "SEEMED" <to work>.  All of the conditions which
Tesla imagined have existed since the early 1900's, in the form of
innumerable low-frequency high-powered transmitters, both spark and CW. 
If ANY of the ground-current effects existed, they'd have been exploited
long, long ago.  The reason for the construction of gigantic VLF
transmitters is because the path loss is very high.

Who knows there are here who will disagree.
