This is the fundamental problem with conspiracy nuts.
They want the unprovable thoroughly disproved, and when that disproof is brought forward they deny its validity merely because of the source, or because it doesn't disprove everything in one go, or because it is printed on blue paper. It is impossible to get any solid facts into a conspiracy nut; ...[text shortened]... rove - that it works. Not, I cannot repeat this enough, not the other way around.

I have stated more than once that world wide wireless energy probably would not work. I never once claimed there was a conspiracy regarding wireless energy. I clarified that to that other guy that started out making false assumptions just like you did. We just digressed into another subject because (like you) he likes to insult people by calling them nuts because of some unrelated thread.
All I did was ask how an undisputed genius like Tesla could become so convinced something like Wardenclyffe would work. He said Tesla was mentally ill and I asked him what his source of info was because I had not heard that claim before. I am always willing to look at something new, but he offered nothing but his same unproven claim. Maybe he was mentally ill. I don't know, but at least present something to verify that claim. If it was merely Googlefudgepacker's opinion all he had to do is say so. In the end, all he did was claim that he was mentally unstable and became senile later, or he had an obsession. Or maybe he meant both.
I never claimed radio waves could power anything significant. That was merely an example that the earth can contain electromagnetic energy of certain frequencies similar to the way a microwave oven does. Nothing more. It is not clear Tesla was not going to use microwaves either. Radio communication did not exist back then either. Implying Tesla was foolish because his experiments would interfere with things that exist now but not then means little. As Sh6 always points out, you can't compare the two.
I could give examples of other statements you made that I agree with, but what is the point if you present them as if I don't? Seems to me that you are not following this thread very well. If you had been, I would not have to correct your inaccurate assumptions right after correcting another person's inaccurate assumptions about the very same thing.
Let me put this in concise terms so another insulting jerk does not make the same false assumptions. I never disputed any numbers. I asked how Tesla could get his numbers wrong after he did such brilliant things to advance modern civilization. He was obviously good with numbers at some point in his life.
It is possible a brilliant man like Tesla let something get in the way of good science. After all, Thomas Edison did. He wanted to confine modern civilization to direct current. Of course, Edison and Tesla did not like each other after their work together so that might explain it. Edison may have let his personal grudge get in the way of good science. Kind of like a democrat lets his partisan bias get in the way of criticism of a fellow democrat. They hated Bush for going to war with Iraq for the reasons he did, but when I prove to them that Bill Clinton tried to do EXACTLY the same thing and failed despite his best efforts.....oh no! God forbid should they be confused with facts. The nerve of me to expose their hero as being no better than Bush. If you hate me for it don't kill the messenger. Lose the grudge.
