I don't have a link now but I saw a thread somewhere about the myth

calculation came to the point if I remember the numebers correctly
that you may be able to run a 1.5v light bulb using several tons of
copper if your are several feet from the power line.
The mythbusters did an episode about it.
The idea of remote power distribution without wires was killed off
because Edison (who supported direct current wired distribution)
destroyed Telsa, who proposed AC systems which are being used today.
