FIRST, this is BLOG SPAM which posts false information to try to get gullable people to purchase one of their books (banner ad at bottom of that blog linking to http://products.techswarm.com/teslasecrets.html).
This thing was built in the 70s and is nothing more than a very dangerous Marx Generator. It's purpose was to test aircraft against lightning, not solve the world's energy needs.
I think people are getting it confused with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower and two random Russians attempt to get an Indiegogo project funded ($40k out of $800k at the end).
This part is very interesting though: "Though the dome crumbled because of mistakes in its construction, the collapse had unintended historical consequences. The high-ranking Soviet Communist Party official in Moscow supervising the construction of the Istra dome was fired from his job and sent to a remote posting as punishment. He was replaced with fellow Communist apparatchik Boris Yeltsin, who was invited to work in Moscow and eventually became Russia’s first president."
Tesla Tower != Marx Generator != Tesla Coil != Van de Graff Generator

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Pulsed_Power_Facility (cool looking)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Livermore_National_Lab... and https://lasers.llnl.gov/ (where near-unlimited energy might actually happen)

I'm curious as to whether the Tesla Tower was a hoax or just a miscalculation by Nikola Tesla.
"However, so far that potential has only been measured in microseconds."
I'm no engineer, but for such a large generator, I would call that a pretty inefficient system.
Can anybody give me more information on the claims the article makes?
