For those that are interested in true history and not the history written in some history books. Nikola Tesla was probably the most over looked Scientist of all time. The founder of General Electric, Thomas Edison was his rival for years and fought his theories for years. Edison stole Tesla’s work and took credit for everything that eventually made GE the leader in the transmission of AC current and the AC motor. Tesla was to far ahead of the times and was viewed by many as a mad man. Mad or not he should receive the credit for most of Edison’s work since he was the true inventor. I worked and retired from GE and would be considered a turn coat to say these words , true as they are. The quote solved today was written in 1892 and some day will become a reality. There will be a day when we will look at our need for OIL and laugh at how primitive we were.
And solar power to, a lot of his ideas are being utilised today.
