If you place two inductors next to each other and run current through one of them, it will generate a magnetic field in space and that magnetic field will induce a current through the other inductor. This is called a transformer and is an efficient way to carry electricity long distances.

What do you mean by saying " electricity " because as you know all microwave signals and space signals are converted to electrical signal at the end, and it is treated as electricity and sometimes it is enough to turn on a LED. Also we can see the effects of electromagnetic field near satellite earthsatations at some places which also can be give as electricity with little power. But if you talk about electricity at home you must think about how much power do we need at the end of the transmission. So in my opinion, it is not impossible but to early to think about it in this decade.

walid is correct from a 60 Hz practical perspective, but
Yes you can,, it's called microwaves,, the beams can be made powerfull and directed enough to carry thousands of watts. They were thinking of using it as a form of power transmission in Alaska to remote villages,, but you wouldn't want to pass through the beam,, instant hot dog. But in space, with no atmosphere to absorb energy it would be ideal. Lasers are also a form of electromagnetic radiation, but the efficiency is appalling,, like 2% on average,, and 10% at the very best.

no way you need physical conducter to transfer electricity which means high current can be loadded and supplied to equipments which can't be wireless.

We can transfer electricity if there is conducting medium.

well, electrical energy can be converted to some much economic form and then be transfered.

If you can build here and in space yes you can. Its just who would dedicate there time and money to that we are to focused on wars.
