Beutel (713ICS)) Followup-To: alt.fusion Organization: Rochester Institute of Technology, Information Systems Lines: 13 I remember hearing about pioneering experiments done by Nichola Tessla (sp?) in the field of electricity. ;-) The gist was to broadcast electricity like the radio waves of today. The idea was scrapped because there was no way to charge people for it. ;-) ;-) If electricity became so cheap that a blanket tax could cover the cost, then could we really do away with power lines? I'm just a humble computer science major. Could some knowledgable person set me straight on Nichola Tessla's technology? -- 11011011 ___jdb9608@ritvax.BITNET or @ritcv.UUCP___ "I am, therefore I am."
