I suppose this was a probably dumb idea, as attenuation is always greater in waveguides than in low frequency or DC conductors. Optical energy transmission might have a chance, but energy conversion is a problem. Microwave transmission (from solar collectors in space) to an ocean surface located antenna I think is already shown to be safe and feasible though. Regards, Horace Heffner
