Quotes from Nikola Tesla
The harness of waterfalls is the most economical method known for drawing energy from the sun.
The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.
From my childhood I had been intended for the clergy. This prospect hung like a dark cloud on my mind.
Of the various branches of electrical investigation, perhaps the most interesting and immediately the most promising is that dealing with alternating currents.
Lab in Colorado Springs
Nikola Tessla's first Colorado experiment was in Telluride, Colorado where a mine owner transmitted power from town and a hydroelectric plant which was down below, up to his mine. This invention was the basis of modern power transmissions.
Tessla also established that electrical energy could be transmitted through the air. Thus his laboratory and broadcasting tower in Colorado which he calculated was high enough to send currents unobstructed from Pikes Peak to Paris.
One experiment in the Colorado Springs lab resulted putting out all the lights in the Springs.The citizens of Colorado Springs referred to him as the Colorado Springs Mad Scientist.
In 1899 he ran out of money before he could finish his experiment. He returned to New York.
Tessia is credited with inventions, or contributing knowledge to the invention of Alternating Current, Radio, and X-rays. Patent problems and legal complications kept his from getting full credit for all he had done.

Environmental Protection Agency Gone Astray
In revising the Waters of the United State rule, the EPA narrows the regulations of the Clean Water Act making it easier to get water approved as clean.
The EPA loosens regulations on mercury and other toxic emissions by coal fired power plants making it hard to tighten up the regulations in the future.
Sierra Club publication
The Administration wants to allow more fine particulate air pollution even though it appears to be a chief contributor to mortality from CDIV-19.
