The Suppression of Fuel Savers and Alternate Energy Resources 411
What a tragedy that a genius of such magnitude should die broke in
his room at The New Yorker Hotel. For sometime afterward the FBI was
quite interested in his papers, some of which dealt with new kinds of torpedoes,
"death rays," and other inventions too numerous to mention here.
As Chaney writes in her biography of Tesla:
Like Einstein he had been an outsider and, like Edison, a wide ranging
generalist. As he himself had said, he had the boldness of ignorance.
Where others stopped short, aware of what could not be done, he continued.
The survival of such mutants and polymaths as Tesla tends to be
discouraged by modern scientific guilds. Whether either he or Edison
could have flourished in today's milieu is conjectural.
The example set by Tesla has always been particularly inspiring to
the lone runner. At the same time, however, his legacy to establishment
science is profound for his research, although sometimes esoteric, was
almost always sweeping in its potential to transform society. His turbine
failed in part because it would have required fundamental changes by
whole industries. Alternating current triumphed only after it had overcome
the resistance of an entire industry.
We must consider ourselves fortunate to have benefited from Tesla's
alternating current technology, without which the world as we know it
would not exist. How else might our lives differ today if formidable opposition
had not halted his free energy research Clearly, humanity would
no longer operate according to a fossil fuel economy.
