Tesla and broadcast power stories aren't COMPLETE rot.  I grew up near
Tesla's Colorado Springs lab (actually Manitou Springs and I grew up in
Pueblo) and got interested in Tesla.  I have spoken with old folks who
remember Tesla driving a buckboard through the streets of Manitou, miles
from his lab, with big flourescent lights burning attached only to
copper plate antennae.

But it apparently burned power like crazy -- effiency was *real* low.
