Edison and Westinghouse had to ruin Tesla because they saw the massive profit potential of putting a meter on everyone that needed this "new" electricity commodity.
Edison's power transmission technology was specifically designed to cover up Tesla's findings, namely, that energy (and messages) could be broadcast from any point to any point on earth, without wires or metering.
Edison's "power transmission technology" was direct-current power lines. They lost out in competition with Westinghouse's alternating-current system devised by Tesla and still in use today. Long-distance message transmission was first achieved by Marconi (to Tesla's chagrin). Long-distance broadcast power, no way. Bad idea. Tremendously dangerous. I worked on "megawatt-class" laser transmission, and it was a weapon. Civilian power transmission systems start at much higher power levels. You really need to do your research.
You are still assuming Tesla tech was transmitting energy using waves in the ether, instead of transmitting directly through the ether. It is difficult to leave the “matrix” of fake science we’ve lived in our whole lives. Tesla did, and they bankrupted him for his troubles.
Westinghouse paid Tesla quite a bunch of money. Which Tesla happily spent. Tesla was not successful as a business man and lived in fancy hotels, this why he was why he was in debt so much.
He was a great showman but he ultimately didn't deliver. The myth of Tesla doesn't live up to the reality.
Well, there was also the point where he granted Westinghouse free use of his patents, as Westinghouse was in a financial struggle to stay afloat. That easily stripped Tesla of income---but he realized there was no profit in killing the milk cow, and he was desirous that his technology prevail and be accepted.
They didn't have to lift a finger. Tesla was pursuing a phantom, in this case. You tell me how meterless power could ever be produced by a free market. "Something for nothing" seldom occurs. Who would bear the cost of producing the power or constructing the distribution scheme? (Tesla had already won the competition with Edison over whether alternating current or direct current would be a basis for power distribution.)
You ever see the videos of people high on a mountain top when it's breezy? As the air molecules rush by you, static builds and wants to discharge someplace. An electrical "Aura" will develop that is visible to your naked eye.
Lots of neat electrical phenomena in the air. Corona discharge (St. Elmo's Fire) is one of them, but I haven't had the pleasure of witnessing it. There is, of course, lightning, built up by the same mechanism. Airplanes are built with electrical "wicks" to stream off any surplus charge.
Something deep in the earth's core is producing enough electrical charge to cause non-stop electricity to pass through miles of barely conductive dirt, rock, and soil, and then arc across miles of barely conductive atmosphere and cause the production of ozone high above our heads. This same power source is constantly deflecting the solar wind miles and miles above the surface of the planet.
If you were a clever ant standing atop a running dynamo, you might notice that there is a gradient of electrical charge, going from deeply negative way down beneath your feet, to high positive way above your head.
The earth is a dynamo and relative to it, we are much smaller than ants. What if there were certain points on the earth's surface where the charge differential between deep down beneath us and way high above us could be used to generate power?
I shake my head. The ozone is produced by the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, not by any nonexistent, undetectable terrestrial power source.
Dynamos are not supposed to have significant external electrical fields or they would short out. Regardless of dynamos, there is a terrestrial electric field gradient. But that's not the same thing as electric power. It is also very weak. The greater likelihood is that it is the result of static electricity produced by the friction of winds across the surface of the Earth. The brainy ones among us have proposed windmills to harvest this wind power. A more expensive, inefficient, and massively wasteful method is yet to be devised.
Did you know ozone is produced on the surface of a plasma globe? An electric charge is generated in the “core” of the plasma globe by a tesla coil, radiates outwards to the surface of the globe, and the high frequency voltage causes oxygen to form ozone. The earth’s charge used to be much stronger than it is today and, wouldn’t you know it, ancient accounts of conditions in those days claim that the sky glowed purple 24/7, same as a plasma globe does.

The more you learn about Edison, the more you realize what a scumbag he was. I think Alexander Graham Bell was similar if my memory is correct.

Here's a great example: Energy from the atmosphere.

You mean like the Antarctic area?
I don't know what's up with antarctica honestly. I was thinking of ley lines.
