Tesla on sustainable energy

Post by **Linnea** » 10-08-2007 01:27 AM

Tesla's inventions are used today and we are dependent on them, but his vision and message seems to be more urgently needed now than ever before:

"No matter what we attempt to do, no matter to what fields we turn our efforts, we are dependent on power. We have to evolve means of obtaining energy from stores which are forever inexhaustible, to perfect methods which do not imply consumption and waste of any material whatever.

If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations."

What to him was the future is to us the present. We are the 'coming generations' and we are the people who must stop using fuel to get power.

Tesla's vision was not just technological, it was humanitarian, and it was beyond the idea that nature's resources should be plundered then sold at a scarcity in order to make an elite few resource-controllers rich. Tesla would not have been Tesla if he had been good at business; he was beyond the 'scarcity mentality' that is the foundation of our modern economic system. He could see a way to organise provision based on freedom and equality for all, rather than profiteering, control, and greed.

Today, we need more people who, like him, are dedicated to making his vision real, not in the future, but now.

It is a mystery why Tesla's clean energy technology continues to be ignored.

There are quite a few alternative energy options out there, including geothermal, solar, water power, wind power, and capturing wave/tidal/ocean energy. If we are to break dependency on foreign oil and assist in cutting back on global warming caused by burning fossil fuels, these alternative, long term means of obtaining and utilizing sustainable energy need to be studied and addressed.

Thanks for the links Linnea, there is book that came out in 1988 by Col. Tom Bearden, Ret. called Aids: Biological Warfare and he writes extensively about Tesla in that book, a good read and it is still available on amazon.com and some more information on his web site.
