How odd that they did. With France and Japan and
India in spades. Britain too and countless others.

Most US nuclear plants were built within 75 miles of a major
metropolitan center.

It makes sense to generate electricity where it's to be used, unless
it can't be of course.


Setting aside the losses transmission lines are almost as popular as
generating plants. Too bad Tesla's scheme didn't work out.

Good grief. Tesla was a loon. Positively insane at the end of his
life.

No, it's not too bad. Think about being between the transmitter and
receiver, not to mention the zero efficiency. Physics hasn't changed.

There are some far field technologies but they have limited range and
tend to be detrimental to humans or other furry things that wander into
the beam.

And zero efficiency.

I worked for a company that made dielectric heaters for the plastics
industry. Our quick and dirty test for a leaky RF cavity consisted of a
fluorescent tube taped to a broomstick. Transmitting enough power to
make it light up was not a good thing.

A tiny Tesla coil will do that. It's still zero power and efficiency.
