According to the theory, developed by Masahiro Hotta of Tohoku University, Japan, a series of entangled particles could be stretched across an infinite amount of space. By inducing an energy change in one of the particles, the other entangled particles would change as well. Eventually, to preserve conservation of energy, the original particle would be destroyed, with its energy passing to the final particle in the chain. Thus, the energy has been teleported from one particle to another.
Naturally, Hotta doesn’t present any blueprint for replacing power lines with teleporting energy, concentrating instead on the implications for studying quantum mechanics. However, with a concept this profound, the implications beyond theory are nearly endless. So let’s hear what you’ve come up with! Commenters, I want to know: how would you use energy teleportation?

Nikola Tesla would have given us wireless transmission of Energy, decades ago (The Wardencliffe project). Sadly his funding was pulled, by those with vested interests in the pylon and cable grid that we have today.
Wow, in future we can get rid of this tangle of appliance wiring. We probably can get rid of battery chargers and batteries? This is going to be too good to be true!
