He was a visionary. He wanted to give everyone access to power. His transmission scheme at Warden was to ionize a channel to the ionosphere and not to broadcast. Broadcasting was a different device. The Warden tower had a bank of mercury vapor uv lamps to give the high voltage an assist in breaking down a channel. The ionosphere is fairly conductive compared to the trophosphere. It would conduct to another ionized channel at a power station such as the huge falls in Africa. His idea was to cheaply link loads to sources. The miles of wire and towers is what he was going to eliminate. As to converting this enormous power to the local grid or whatever I have my doubts. He was playing with enormous power. Makes our hv transmission look simple.

One of his biographers thought he came from the planet Venus. Well, 
maybe he did. Maybe what he was trying to do with all his fireworks 
was warm the place up a bit, it's such a cold planet by comparison. 
As yet, anyway (watch this space)...
