Nikola Tesla is a man who, throughout his life, experimented heavily with electricity.
Dubbed 'the father of free energy', not only did he develop the AC current that we use today but he claims he also made a way of producing free energy to all by using electricity. People's homes could be powered by an electromagnetic current tower that would send waves similar to radio or wifi that homes could pick up up to around 25 miles.
However, these ideas were never fully put into practice due to financial constraints and some people even claim that oil companies tried to suppress the development of his work due to the money they may potentially use.
This for me raises the question of what would free energy mean to our world today and how would this change the economy.
As well as this reading articles based around his life it also puts into question the validity and bias that many arguments contain relating to energy.
At this point in time, everybody has the opportunity to use the web as vehicle for their opinions and i feel, especially with oil, you have to be careful about who is writing the article you are reading and where they have gained their information from.
Here is a couple of documentaries about the life of Nikola Tesla
