I was thinking of another way to move power from one wire to another and got this idea. We should be able to make and place metal poles. When powered it will start to spark at the top and if another is in range it will hit it with electricity, this will power the other pole and all wires connected to it. It could also be used to make electric traps for mobs.
We would have huge pole on top of our houses, with a humongous factory working in China, sending us electricity.
