Wireless energy efficiency

According to a New Scientist article there are a number of developments in store for wireless energy supply to mobile and household devices.  The article quotes a representative of the Energy Saving Trust, who points out that their quoted rates of efficiency (10%-60%) means they are a potential source of significant inefficiency.

If this is true, then it would be worth compiling a set of modelled applications, using life-cycle analysis for wired and wireless powered devices and typical energy usage in modern households.
