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.

Yes. Tesla said this would be possible and he did a bunch of research trying to invent a mechanism for doing so. He did not succeed obviously.

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?

I'm not saying I believe it, but over the years I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories that he was able to successfully do it, but either Edison, GE, or some government(s0 suppressed it.
I am not Serbian, or Slavic at all, but I don't understand why people in the U.S. hates Serbians so much.
To: Red Badger
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.

Of course, they also say Tesla fulfilled the dream of all Serbs, by blowing up a small part of Russia. “Pan-Slavism my ass,” he said.
