Tesla was not an ordinary scientist/inventor. His long life, beliefs and unusual psyche are the testimony to his uniqueness. Even today, there are fan clubs, Tesla societies all over the world. Recently an electric car company, the Tesla Motors were founded, bearing his name. I am intrigued and fascinated by Tesla because of mankind's current crisis dealing with energy and the United States energy politics leading the country to ever increasing adventures and wars all around the Globe. Oil is addictive substance to everyday life, especially if immensely rich oil companies dictate foreign policies and renewable energy research.
