I remember hearing about pioneering experiments done by
Nichola Tessla (sp?) in the field of electricity.  ;-)
The gist was to broadcast electricity like the radio waves of today.
The idea was scrapped because there was no way to charge people
for it.  ;-) ;-)  If electricity became so cheap that a blanket tax
could cover the cost, then could we really do away with power lines?

I'm just a humble computer science major.  Could some knowledgable
person set me straight on Nichola Tessla's technology?
