"In any tank circuit, the reactive power between inductor and capacitor
is far higher than the real power driving the tank circuit's losses."
Only if the circuit Q is very high. One definition of Q is "the ratio
of energy stored to energy dissipated per cycle". If the Q of the
Schumann resonances is less than 10, as measurements show, then to keep
12,500,000 MEGAWATTS stored the input would need to be 1,250,000
megawatts, not "a few horsepower". If the Q were a million, which it's
not, then the input would still need to be 12.5 megawatts, which is
about 16,762.78 horsepower.
