As we look back at the messes humanity made while industrializing this
world, leading-edge thinking has evolved beyond the goal of dominion over nature.
Instead, an emerging outlook respects each form of life as having an integrity of its
own while at the same time inter- related to all species.

Nikola Tesla's thinking was a product of his times, and therefore his genius
was limited by a sometimes mechanistic viewpoint. Tesla wanted his inventions to
help humanity. He can be excused for not mentioning ecology, because in his time
the word had not been coined yet. As a trailblazing technophile, he thought it would
be exciting to manipulate weather and light up the ionosphere just as you would
charge up the contents of a fluorescent bulb. He imagined the upper atmosphere
glowing over a selected region of cities to illuminate the earth at night. This
megaproject mindset lives on, a century later.

What has happened to Tesla's ideas of sending vast amounts of electrical
power wirelessly? The ideas are out of date, now that inventors are making rapid
advances in tapping the free energy in space which Tesla prophesied could be used.
(The topic is beyond the scope of this book, but we will mention that in 1995 John
Hutchison, mentioned in chapter one, was one of those who successfully built such an
invention - a small scale electricity generating device that could make the central
power station obsolete.) Nevertheless, it seems that engineers are still fascinated by
354
wireless concepts. A paper presented to an engineering society talks about
Tesla's idea to use the electrically-conductive layers in the upper atmosphere as the
conductive path, and other possibilities for beaming power. We excerpt a comment
from the Weather Modification section of the paper: "Since the potential of the
electrosphere is about 300 KV relative to the earth, and the wireless system as
proposed by Tesla was designed to operate at 30-100 MV, there is a significant
potential for electrically disturbing the atmosphere. It is not known whether this
would be beneficial or harmful."

Under the heading of Economic Viability, the paper notes, "Multiple
transmitters could conceivably be phased to control the location of antinodes from
which power could be extracted,.." (By the way, the paper's 76 footnotes includes the
Eastlund/Ramo patent 4,712,155, "Method and Apparatus for Creating an Artificial
Electron Cyclotron Heating Region of Plasma", cited under the heading Transmission
Line Coupling. The often cited patents...)

In his autobiography, Tesla said the impulse that dominated him was "to
harness the energies of nature to the service of man." A fine sentiment, but it can be
carried too far when the Sorcerer's Apprentices try to harness the electric rivers in the
sky through HAARP.

The tones of voices talking about HAARP range from helpless anger to calm
determination. The man called Gregory whom you met in Chapter One, on the one
end, had shouted that the "Mad scientists are getting even with all the crap they had to
put up with as kids and as nerdy adolescents, and they want to kill our planet!"
