Well, we can't be absolutely sure of this due to not understanding 
exactly what Tesla thought he knew about the method of transmission.  If 
through the earth only, and not by classic RF, then the airwaves might 
not have a microvolt in them.  Agreed, that if the system worked, the 
ecological questions and problems might outway any real advantage to his 
system.  But without proof of operation or knowledge of the method 
envisioned by Tesla, we can't make blanket statements.

For a long time, the Shumann Cavity Resonances were touted as Tesla's 
method, but the Corums recent work now looks like this is out and true 
ground transmission might be the method.  I must reference their talk at 
the 1996 ITS  conference.  Again, I'm not big on wireless transmission of 
power and think it a probable Tesla false vision.

Tesla never finished his station.... I don't think we need worry about 
one of us crankin' one up again.  Whose got the know how, much less the 
bucks!
