   I really do not understand the question/comment you made and all of your edits.
   There are a few people that have modified cars to run on methane (typically pig or chicken farmers) but bluntly there is not enough crap produced to make it viable, not withstanding the cost to try this in great numbers. Its kind of like “electric cars” oh they don’t produce pollution but people do not want to take into account the pollution created to produce the electricity to re-charge them.
   Tesla had a great idea, but you know what it didn’t and couldn’t work, research the idea and realize it was not viable when he was alive and is not viable today, could it be viable in the years to come with advances in technology? Maybe, then again that power has to come form somewhere, Coal, oil, nukes?
   Funny how your edit to my response concerning Tesla says exactly what I said, it was not viable then is not viable now and maybe in the future, 2020 is the future!

   How do you monitor who receives power?
   Suppose someone intentionally makes a device that just sucks power, causing power outages? To dive into such an endeavor would be completely irresponsible.
   Such a construct could also provide limitless power for energy weapons.
   This doesn’t sound like bettering humanity to me.
   We have wires, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

   We’re in an a period of economic instability. We don’t exactly have the money to just throw out on scientific research, especially when we don’t know if we can get anything useful out of it.
