Excellent point, Jim. Except for one thing: when I last visited, they'd
replaced the tepui with a geodesic dome...
I'm surprised at the list, actually. Everyone latches on to the "fringe"
stuff and nobody notices the coil construction? Come on, it's not like
anyone's built coils like this before in the community, except for maybe
Jeff and the Kinraide replications.

remember to keep things in the realm of practicality.
Of course, nice proofs of why XYZ (advocated by some earnest crackpot) can't
work are probably appropriate.
But we don't want to venture into the fringey areas too far.
(Mostly because I'm afraid someone will reveal my secret knowledge that
Edison and Tesla are living in retirement on top of a tepui in the Venezuelan
hinterland above Angel Falls.. Elvis plays guitar while they sing around the
campfire. But you didn't hear that from me..)
