Induction Power Runways

Just a quick entry as I don't have it flushed out.
For future electric and hybrid electric aircraft, would it be reasonable to create landing strips that have embedded induction coils for power transfer?
The intent of this idea would be to provide additional electricity during takeoff and to supplement whatever onboard generating system was installed.  Said power could also provide the energy needed for taxiing to and from the gate.

Better version coming in a later entry, but I wanted to leave myself some notes
