''We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy like sun, wind and tide. I would put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.''
Thomas Edison
