Hi Adam,

Even if Tesla had been able to iron out all of the problems with efficiency,
noise, etc., he would have run into a major funding problem.  How much was
your electricity bill last month?  Now, how much was your radio bill?  You
don't get a radio bill.  Anyone with an antenna can get as much radio as they
want.  The same would be true of broadcast power.  It would still cost just
as much to produce the power, but you would not be able to charge for it.
They can afford to do this with radio because they can sell advertising.
That would not work with electricity.
