Is it just one person who is charging their phone wirelessly, or does it have the potential to be a large societal trend?

Assuming everybody were doing it, the percentage of residential power wasted on it would still be miniscule. And residential is only about a third of all power consumption. You may as well try to empty an ocean with a thimble.

This conversation is already about quantifying the impact of trends. If just one person is doing it, it's not worth talking about.
