Agreed, considering that air is one of the best insulators :)
Tesla did not distinguish between radio wave radiation and AC power
generation and considered both viable to transmit via the air. Can't hold it
is against him though since he did invent A/C power generation/transmission
and radio technology as we know it today!

Eh, no, those things where the sparks climbed up the wires were called a
"Jacob's Ladder". A Biblical reference to a stairway to heaven.
Telsa coils radiated high voltage high frequency power from a single point
at the top of the tower. Always struck me as stunningly inefficient.
Neat, though.
