Note that all of the above involves small amounts of power,
not the output of a commercial power plant. Concepts for
transmission of large amounts of power have been around for
decades (going back to at least my childhood 40 years ago).
You mentioned Tesla repeatedly, but wasn't that his idea? More than 40
years ago.
Probably the idea of actually pointing a multi-gigawatt beam
anywhere near a residential area gives investors enough pause
that it isn't considered practical.
You think? You mean, people who become hysterical because a local
radar may be adding 10^(-7) watts/cm^2 to their environment might react
negatively if a beam with enough power to make their home into a
microwave oven were somewhere in the neighborhood? Let's from a
company to do this; and let's get the power from large nuclear power
plants: "100% ecologically green power transmission! No coal, no
soot, no carbon; and no unsightly power lines". It's a win/win
concept.
