A cordless future for electricity?

Actually high tension wires are aluminum. It would cost a fortune to have copper wires.

Not around here. They tried to switch them over in the 80s, but the salt air corroded the wires right off the poles. Now they're back to copper.

As everyone has said, Tesla was way ahead of his time and totally
believed in this concept. I seem to recall reading about the military experimenting
with this at some point. On a different but similar tangent have any of you guys
tried out these ethernet adaptors that use your homes electrical cabling ?
They modulate the data over the AC sine wave.. I like them ! they work
very well...
