RE: Happy Birthday Nikola Tesla!
More concerned with controlling the populace in my opinion, I believe he had wireless electricity figured out. If utilities were free, governments and bureaucrats have no control over the populace.
I think it was more about money. If electricity is free then the govermnent and their business cronies will not be able to charge us for it. I think it was J.P. Morgan who asked Tesla "Does "it" have a meter?". Of course the answer was no, and that was the beginning of the end for Tesla. Many believe that big business and the government "blackballed" Tesla.
How else to better control a populace than charging them for basic needs which can be provided free?
True. I see your point :-)
