My first knee-jerk reaction was rather negative. But I came across this:

> The system uses a net of lasers surrounding the beam to detect obstructions, like a bird or person, and it automatically shuts off transmission until the obstruction has moved on.

...which seems to be proof that you're aware of it's dangers and have taken steps to mitigate it. This is a good sign in my book.

I also note that the beam is controlled by

> relays, which are like “lenses” extending the beam beyond line-of-sight by refocusing it, are nearly lossless

If you've not reached coherence, how do your control diffusion? Do you have plans to have 'relays' at very regular intervals in order to constrain the beam to an (cross sectional) area so that it remains safe for organic life?
