"Ultimately, the technology may help power rural areas or transmit energy from offshore wind farms, both cases where it’s expensive to build physical infrastructure to tap or feed the grid." While I understand case 1 and I worry some people don't understand that even if we get the tech figured out it's going to only make sense in certain contexts (at least until/unless we have infinite `free` power), but I think #2 is a bit weird. Yes building that infrastructure to the wind farm is costly/difficult but also... It seems weird to bottleneck the generation at the gen site. I guess if the infrastructure costs for wireless transmission are minimal you could get things bootstrapped easier/cheaper but it def seems shortsighted if you're already creating a big loss at the first stage of generation.
