Posted by timothy on from the distance-rocks dept.

Joe Decker writes "The Nevada Lightning Laboratory has experimented with Nicola Tesla's methods of wireless power transmission to push 800 Watts over 5 meters, besting MITs mark of 60W over 2 meters last year. (May I dream of wireless laptop power? I hate power cords.)"

    And the beauty of tax credits is that, unlike our zillion dollar bailouts to mismanaged corporations who sold us down the river to make (and keep!) irresponsible short term profits, don't actually require the government to borrow money from China and bury our entire economy even deeper than it already is.

    Now if only we could stop pointlessly burning money out in the sandbox, maybe we could be not completely fucked for the next century or so.
