   The lead article describes Soljacic's stupid paper from MIT.
Nothing of any use in it and, in spite of a mention of Tesla, no 
evidence of any kind that he understood what Tesla proposed or that 
resonance was a key element of his power transmission system.

   The "power from space" article seems to say a lot of people are 
advocating "further study", presumablyi with someone else's 
money.  As they say, "breakthroughs are required" and some of them 
require violating laws of nature which seem immutable.

   The Japanese scheme sounds perfectly workable but probably 
prohibitivelyi expensive.  Induction as short range works and has 
been in use for a century in a variety of short-range applications.

   I liked the wireless extension cord best of all.
