Tesla insisted he was sure that wireless power transmission could be done (and 
in fact that he had already done it in Colorodo).  If air is a non-conductor, 
then how can the electrons flow in a lightning strike?  Also, isn't it well 
known that a human is in danger of electric shock even near, without touching, 
insulated wires of extremely high voltage?
