Another pipe dream. Electricity needs a path to conduct. It needs a high potential and a low potential to flow to. If you plug one wire nto the ground to draw the electricity, where is the low potential that it will flow to, i.e. where will you plug the other wire?

NO pipe dream... just greed, my opinion. electricity, and drains it into the ground. Because the ground is conductive, it doesn't stop. Rather, it spreads out like a radio wave, traveling at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. And it keeps going, because it's a powerful wave; it doesn't peter out after a few miles. It passes through the iron core of the earth with little trouble. After all, molten iron is very conductive. When the wave reaches the far side of the planet, it bounces back, like a wave in water bounces when it reaches an obstruction. Since it bounces, it makes a return trip; eventually, it returns to the point of origin. Now, this idea might seem wild. But it isn't science fiction. We bounced radar beams off the moon in the 1950's, and we mapped Venus by radar in the 1970's. Those planets are millions of miles away. The earth is a mere 3,000 miles in diameter; sending an electromagnetic wave through it is a piece of cake. We can sense earthquakes all the way across the planet by the vibrations they set up that travel all that distance. So, while at first thought it seems amazing, it's really pretty straight forward. But, as I said, it's a typical example of how Tesla thought. And then he had one of his typically Tesla ideas.

(my comment) One time I'm not sure if this article covers it, but he blew out they hydroelectric dam, and light up a city in long islad, where sparks would fly out of furniture ground etc..(my comment)

Not true. Ever hear of Electro Motive Force or induction? His theory was based on induction. You can run things without wires you just need a lot of EMF to drive a motor or light a lamp. In todays world each of our homes would such a large coil that it would fill a basement.
