Uhh reality check time... 
Even a wireless distribution needs a source. 
Who would collect the deadfall to build the fire to boil the water to make 
the steam to generate the electricity to power the bloody thing in the first 
place??? 
IF an intellect in the class of Tesla appeared today with the promise of 
making billions (trillions) of dollars of investment obsolete overnight , (as 
Tesla told Morgan, Westinghouse, et. al. that the Wardenclyffe project 
would,) he/she would, in short order be: 
1. Unfunded 
2. Locked Away 
3. Dead 
Like it or not, there is NO intrinsic humanitarian or altruistic basis to 
capital investment.
