Why hasn't another Tesla power broadcast tower been errected?
Why haven't inventors and investors not built another tower to broadcast power and radio waves like Tesla's? I have been waiting to invest in a workable system like Tesla's there are other inventions which could put the big businesses that run the world a run for their money and reduce their hold on us.
Does anyone know of a site that might be set up to allow others to help in fund raising, donations or volunteer to help get these established?
That's just it I would love to start or work with a non profit org that would take this as well as other "not profitable" inventions that do not pollute and will help the world and its people as well as replace Big business. People give to wild life, feed the hungry, etc which things like this and others would provide world wide power so the ability for wells where they are needed in 3rd world countries and reduce pollution, A ton of things that could benefit all movements backed by both Organisations and businesses the little guy wants to start.

If you want to do it yourself, build the tower and the rest, you will need money.
There are a number of sites dedicated to funding projects like yours.
The one I am most familiar with is Kickstarter.com. At this site the entrepreneur or inventor or whatever sets a fundraising goal and a schedule. People make pledges that go on their credit card. They are not actually charged until the goal is reached.
I put a few bucks into someone who wanted to make a TV program pilot. Unfortunately she couldn't meet her goal so I and others cards were not charged.
Google turned up a bunch of other sites like Kickstarter. I don't know how the others work.

Wardenclyffe Tower (1901–1917) also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early wireless transmission tower designed by Nikola Tesla and intended for commercial trans-Atlantic wireless telephony, broadcasting, and proof-of-concept demonstrations of wireless power transmission. It was never fully operational and the tower was demolished in 1917.
So why do we need another I think things have advanced a bit since then.

I wish I fully understood that aspect of Tesla's inventive mind. It has been said that Tesla had found a way of having energy freely available (or at least cheaply available) for everyone.
There's no profit in cheap energy.

If something like this was as simple as getting an email newsletter from some website then everyone would be doing it.
If this is something you're serious about it'd take so much time you would not believe.
If you are serious about something like this your first step would be finding people who would be interested in this, pricing a proof-of-concept & applying for grants/funding etc.

Investors will invest money to develop and build with the selfish desire of PROFITTING from the endeavor.
The only way to build this is to ask the people to contribute for the sake of their childrens futures.

Less difficult to climb the tower of vigour but once you attain the top it's simply harder looking to keep there. Tougher to climb the opposite tower however when you get there you can relaxation

Most people are not able to understand it or find the time and energy to do it. Or they are scared to talk too much into it.
Also he was not allowed to do it by the "big guys" and I think he would have been gone if he did it....some people try to do stuff like this and they disappear.

people are always on about 'free energy' sources, but apart from the ones we have like wind, tidal. hydro etc - I doubt the other 'magic' ideas work, or we would use them.
