Now, Firm is going to hand me my ass about never, nevertheless; radio waves, and electromagnetic fields never...........never...........never can exceed the speed of light, because they are light. Just a higher or lower frequency than we are accustomed to looking at womens asses at.
Unless you can move light faster.............or slow time to a crawl...........
So no, it don't impress me much.

Oh btw. I would agree that the transverse part of the wave goes at the speed of light. However the scalar part is 1.5 times the speed.
Here is his lecture in print and it talks about how the transmission cannot be shielded by a faraday cage. If in fact you are correct how do you explain that the tesla wave slips right on through a faraday cage?

This guy presents a bullet example which I think explains it quite well.
This equation--Einstein's theory of relativity--tells us that to accelerate any mass to the speed of light requires an infinite amount of energy. The accelerated mass also experiences infinite time dilation, so that (for example) one second elapsing on a spaceship traveling at light speed equals infinity in the outside universe. Clearly these are not mere inconveniences--it's relativistically impossible for any material object to travel at the speed of light.
Another consequence of relativity--or more properly, of the early quantum theory Einstein developed at the same time--is that light, even though it's a wave, can sometimes act as a stream of particles, which we call photons. These can travel at "c"--the speed of light--because they have no mass, which sets a handy precedent: anything massless can travel that fast. But what about faster? Interestingly, the equations are symmetrical; it takes infinite energy to reach the speed of light, but not to exceed it, so while there's no way for a slower-than-light particle to become a faster-than-light one, a particle which starts out faster than light--and stays that way--is permitted by the theory. In 1967, physicist Gerald Feinberg even coined a name for such particles: the Greek word "tachyon" (roughly, "swift thing"). Do tachyons exist in the physical universe? If so, their masses would have to be imaginary, meaning a multiple of i, the square root of negative 1. That would be weird, and difficult to measure--no tachyon of any sort has ever been detected. Probably. But there is a subatomic particle--the neutrino--which has caused some scientists to wonder. Neutrinos are produced in great quantity by the nuclear reactions inside our sun, and every other in this star-spangled universe. They travel at or near the speed of light, meaning their mass--if they have one--must be something very close to zero. But it's hard to measure, and sometimes the sun's stormy surface kicks out a burst of neutrinos which we observe several seconds before an obviously related burst of photons. So yeah, the evidence is sparse, but it's tempting to speculate the neutrinos are maybe going a little bit faster than "c."
There are a few other things that can go faster than light, by virtue of not being "things" at all. The spot from a laser pointer is one example--shine it at the wall in front of you and you can make it move around quite rapidly. The farther the wall, the faster (and dimmer) the moving spot; shine it at a target thirty thousand miles away and you can easily move it faster than "c." The individual photons, of course, still move as slowly as ever--it's exactly like waving a firehose around so that the splash of its impact travels faster than the speed of the water through the hose. The splash is a process, not an object, so it isn't constrained by relativity.

How can you know unequivocally that it is purely light? I would say it cant be as it needs a medium by which it can travel on. A plane needs a medium, air, light needs a medium to travel on, the old timers called the aether. the cosmic goo.
