From RT:

Leonid and Sergey Plekhanov, graduates of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, claim they have spent years scrutinizing the Nikola Tesla's patents and diaries and they believe that with his most ambitious project - transcontinental wireless energy transmissions - Tesla came very close to unprecedented scientific discovery that could be brought to fruition.

The enthusiasts say they need about $800,000 to reconstruct the famous Wardenclyffe Tower once created by Tesla himself to implement his ideas and find a commercial application for his ideas on long-distance wireless energy transmission.

The Plekhanov brothers are raising money through IndieGogo croudfunding.

    Simply convert the energy to mass; move the mass on the back of a truck; then convert it back to energy again.

    No wires required!

      Sure. You convert energy to mass by dividing it by c^2. If that's not simple, then what is? ;-)

    you need to raise a new RFC for this... can't re-use the avian one.
