How feasible is Tesla's wireless energy transmission?

Reading a biography on Tesla, one of his many ideas was using places like the abandoned Wardenclyffe Tower to transmit power across entire hemispheres (his words), however it seems like it was shut down to to businessmen concerns of "How do you put a meter on that?" and not because he was wrong about the physics.  I actually know little about electrical engineering and curious as to if this can even happen over long distances.  I've seen it work with Tesla Coils, but you need to be very close to it just to light a bulb.

We already use it in the form of Qi mats for phones or wireless chargers for electric toothbrushes.  Crystal AM radios work on the same principle.  

The problem is the amount of power you can induce drops rapidly with the distance (and cross section area of the receiver).  

Aside from that if we just [say] blanketed a city with enough EM such that you could induce a households amount of power (100A * 220V => 22kW) anything remotely metallic would also allow a charge to be induced.  Sitting on your metal framed bicycle would be hazardous, specially if you were in contact with the ground, etc...
