Well I always watch this debate whenever it comes up, but this time I 
have a question.

Can someone please explain to me how TC's transmit electricity and 
why they're so inefficient, in terms that someone with a basic 
knowledge physics (AP next year!) and  precalculus could 
understand?  Also what is it that proponents of wireless power 
transmission propose we do to 'light up the world' and why is this 
"against the laws of physics", as i believe a lot of people say?  One 
last question- I remember hearing that when a coil is tuned for 
maximum energy transfer it produces minimal sparks, is this true?

thanks for any responses, I'm sure there are answers in the archives 
but I'm too lazy to sort through all of the flame wars.
