Wireless Energy

Physicists at M.I.T. have discovered a way to transmit power wirelessly through magnetic resonance. Distance so far: six feet. Combine this with the cell structure of cellular phone networks (in fact, you might as well embed them directly into cell towers) and the result may be continuous, ubiquitous wireless energy. This could herald the end of batteries and perhaps even power lines. One of the big questions is: What are the longterm effects of all this constant wireless transmission on our physical bodies?
