"Let's Get Technical." (Pt. 1)

Technology, like money, is not inherently bad in and of itself.
It can also be used to do good, make our lives easier, or more convenient.

After doing the required research, one way I noticed that society could be improved is through the wireless transmission of energy and information. Telephone poles, wires, and "conventional" methods have been holding us back for quite some time. Just like most other people, I get tired of power and information outages that occur during/after inclement weather strikes my area.

Inventor Nikola Tesla began transmitting electricity wirelessly over 100 years ago. Although this is not a new concept, he died broke and penniless at the age of 86 in 1943.

Concerning the nature of this wireless transmission of RF energy, a few general facts should be made plain:

1) It is of high-voltage, but also high-frequency.
In other words, it is totally harmless concerning human exposure.

"In the early 1970's, (William) Hooper had been showing that not all electrical fields are the same. What he called a "motional electric field" was different from the well-known electrostatic fields; the motional electric field results in a force that passes through lead. In other words, the field is unshieldable."- "Angels Don't Play This HAARP" (1997)

2) It can be transmitted over 20 miles in this fashion.

In order to make technological and service advancements like this happen, things would have to be shaken up in the corporate world: mergers and cooperation amongst both information and energy interests.

What are some potential fixes/outcomes of these changes?

- "Flex Fuel" capability to power the turbines that create energy (coal could be phased out for natural gas over time in accordance with free-market principles). Natural gas is cheap, (33% more) efficient (than gasoline), and will become ubiquitous in nature over the coming years.

- Receivers of wireless energy can be placed indoors, avoiding vandalism and vulnerability.

- Reduced staffing at energy and information conglomerates.
This means lower rates.
(Think in the 50% range.)

This also opens up the possibility for localized/personalized, right-sized solutions for high-speed bandwidth access, bringing the internet into reach for more of those who may just have to currently go without, due either to prohibitive cost or geographical reasons.

One potential issue that will arise for some people is loss of use of their kitchen ranges when and if their services were to be shut off.

- Potentially eating corn instead of burning it in our fuel tanks.
Any time you can lower rates or costs, improve services, and increase the expendable income of the average person, this is a plus.
