wireless energy transmission before it gets launched

It won't get "launched" for economics. I don't mean that it is 2 or 3 times more lossy than wired power transmission, I mean 10 times or much greater.

Would you be willing to pay 10 or 100 times more for your energy use?

Probably for the pennies it takes to charge a phone or tablet — sure. Charging my EV with many tens of kWh? No way. Probably not for the myriad battery chargers on a construction site, either.

“Economics” isn’t just the operating cost — it’s the old “total cost of ownership” which is capital, operating, life, and energy cost.
