  Perhaps.  Based on speculation from 100 years ago....


With this highly charged troposphere, try getting a signal through to 
any satellite or use skip.

    Rather depends on the actual, as opposed to speculative, efficiency.
  And the side ffects actually achieved.



Dump a few terrawatts into your global capacitor then put a tiny 
piece of metal (aircraft) into the middle of the dielectric and stand back!!

Keep your global "capacitor" from shorting out internally due to 
natural lightning?

When Tesla was working on this, there was no significant air traffic, 
there was no significant radio communication to interfere with, so IF 
his system worked, he wouldn't have been disrupting much, while he 
tried to bring his system on line. That is not the case today.

  Since no one has built one that worked, in any useful sense, perhaps....
Try to guess how charging the global capacitor would affect the 
earth's natural protection against cosmic rays, UV intensity etc.etc. 
Do you think the world's population would let you risk it?
