INN - In a communique today, The Exalted Royal Academy of Scientific Studies (ERASS) proclaimed to have fulfilled a life-long dream. Wireless power transmission to any place on the planet through the very earth itself. The system is based on the non-Hertzian wave research of the famous Dr. Nikola Tesla, but this is the first time a WPT system has been tested in real-life conditions. The small town of Thun has been running the system for six months now, and all results have been satisfactory. The Green Earth society has expressed concerns regarding environmental effects from the system, but leading project scientist Dr. Aaren says "We've already tested the system for every possible environmental effect for half a year now. It's not a problem."
The original project was plagued with many difficulties, such as exploding power stations and complaints from the townspeople of power shortages, but now involved scientists claim a 94% transmission efficiency. Chairman of the Joint Business Alliance JBA, Crispin DeLaGuardie also responded with some concerns around the project. "Yeah, it's all good and well that we can send wireless power to every corner of the nation, but how the are we going to charge people if anyone can tap into the power grid?"
The Royal Court has not yet replied to any questions regarding the WPT project, but the Minister of Domestic Affairs, Ruedi Wallmarc says to INS that "It's the perfect solution for the future. My department is working on a fifty-year plan for gradual implementation of the WPT system as older system needs to be replaced. There's no need to rush this thing. I have no doubt that we're going to see cars and in the future even planes run on wireless power as well. Just imagine the power export possibilites, but that's not my department."
