But when Edison and Tesla were doing their little competition, Edison won out initially because it was easy to monetize his. Tesla was, I think, the superior thinker, and AC power and DC power are thanks to Edison and Tesla, okay? But there was something else Tesla did that looked like magic that did not get put into play, and it was the beaming of power, okay?

What is interesting about this is that it didn't get put into play because, again, Edison was a better marketer and it was easy to monetize his invention. And we're still stuck in that paradigm. But it's a paradigm of low efficiency. It's a paradigm of danger.

We still put little baby plugs in our electrical outlets because if you stick your finger in that thing or you stick a knife into it, you're gonna die. and that ain't good, and it's right there. The bathtub and the blow dryer, you're gonna die. That's not good. But we live with it because that's what we came in, and that's what everybody, it's back to innovation. Why haven't we innovated?

But what's interesting about what Tesla did with beaming energy is a lot of that literature went into the hands of the Trump family. President Trump talks about this, okay? And so we've now proven, Tesla's original experiments on beaming energy using the Air Force Research Lab and the X-37, beaming solar power from the sun down to a rectenna on Earth.

The Navy is also pursuing this, and there's a lot of companies pursuing it, more so than you might know. and many countries pursuing it because they see the promise of a high efficiency of delivery of electricity that will usher in a portion of the new energy market and deliver it to any person on the planet, no matter where they live.

How is this not a bigger discussion? Because of the price of entry in the past. But it's what Jeff Bezos has said in the past. If we do this right with space, we can turn the earth into the park and all heavy industry is off earth. And we can...

They're all within reach of the earth right now. And so one of the reasons we haven't done it is one, the price point was too high, okay? So you needed a government that was actually willing to invest in it. But now those price points are coming down.
