When you say "Tesla never succeeded", you make it sound like he tried
one transmitter after another, and never got them to work. But this
is not the case: the one plant that would have decided the issue one
way or the other, was Wardenclyff, and it never got completed! He
never got funding for anything else approaching that scale after
that. So I don't think the issue is settled at all. Why won't anyone
try to duplicate his experiments? all anyone does is see how big of a
spark they can make...

Hi Dan,
The reason is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!
Not too many people want to invest their life savings and decades of 
work in a project that
1) Is theoretically unlikely to ever work.
2) If successful, would destroy all global communications and 
possibly all air traffic
3) Would have possibly terminally destructive environmental consequences.
