[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by nobullchitbids Query: Everyone has been talking, assuming the transmission will be with wires; however, I read somewhere that the way to do it in the future is to convert electricity at site to microwaves, then send it via satellite to where it is needed. Certainly, that would allow locating the combustion plant closer to the coal. I assume it also would eliminate much of the NIMBY problem since only the origin and destination would be affected. Any comment on this? [/quote] Have you ever read the legend of Tesla's experiments with sending electricity in concentrated beams through the air? Supposedly the first time he and his team ran this experiment, a large bird flew through the path of the beam and was instantly pulverized. This affected Tesla so much he abandoned further experiments in concentrated beams. Or something like that.
