Ha...power diminishes according to the inverse square law....so expect high power microwave transmitters...and a lot of fried birds bugs and butterflies....and any inquisitive human that gets too close to the antenna.

If you have power lines passing over your property, you’ll play hell selling it because people are scared of sixty hertz. You do know how a microwave cooks food, right?

Electromagnetic radiation is used to make electric power at the Ivanpah Power Plant in California. The guys at the plant call the smoking birds that drop out of the sky "streamers" because the stream of smoke goes from mid air to the ground.

If we start beaming power around, make sure you aren't in the beam or you could be a "streamer," too.

Leave your popcorn in the beam path for TV time.

Ignore the cooked birds all over the lawn.

I’d guess it is possible.

But it is probably not wise.
Nor healthy for carbon based lifeforms.

I think I’ll just keep most of my electricity flowing through wires.

So…same stuff, again. I hope it happens this time, but hey, there’s still cars that needing plugging in to the power supply too.

Sort of like Cold Fusion, I want to see the successful tests (longer than 20 seconds), engineering designs and commercial feasibility studies, safety studies and health dangers and financial feasibility studies.

Steaming bovine excrement.

Is is possible? Iduuno but I suspect it might be. Is it intelligent to do so? NO!
