he almost succeeded. the problem is that this is not allowed to develop, because then it will not be necessary so much oil.

No, the problem is that wireless power transmission is inefficient and only works over short distances. All these "Telsa invented free energy and why aren't we using it?" nutjobs fail to understand two basic facts:

1) Wireless power is already ubiquitous and is used in pretty much every application where it's physically possible.
Seriously, wireless power is everywhere, even in your very home. Your electric toothbrush charger uses wireless power. You probably have many devices that use wireless power that you don't even realise.

2) More importantly, power transmission is not the same thing as generating and storing energy.
To transmit power, whether with wires or without, you first have to generate energy and then store it somewhere. Hydrocarbon fuels contain more energy per unit mass than anything short of nuclear power. When it comes to storing energy, there's literally nothing better than hydrocarbons; no battery even comes close. Producing energy from hydrocarbons is problematic, due to pollution and the fact that we'll eventually run out, which is where renewable energy comes in, but work is being done on using renewable energy to convert carbon dioxide and water back into hydrocarbons to get the best of both worlds. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with wireless power transmission, which is completely irrelevant to the use of hydrocarbon fuels for energy.
