A mystery surrounds Tesla. His contributions, which were great and many, have descended into obscurity. Why? <br /><br />Nikola Tesla, a Serbian scientist born in Croatia, was a humanitarian, a US patriot, and yes, an unbridled genius, though he has often been personified as the quintessential mad scientist. Perhaps his only real misdeed was being born ahead of his time. <br /><br />Tesla's idea was to be able to provide power equally to all people on Earth. At this time there are 2 to 3 billion people on this planet that can't go home at night and turn on the lights. The people that can't are living in poverty. <br /><br />Tesla saw that there was a division between the haves and the have-nots. And he was determined to make electrical power equally available to all people on this planet... as a gift. <br /><br />This is the story of the man that time forgot and the US government which did no justice to him. <br />(1998)
