Thomas Edison

[93Regina]

We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house
for fuel when we should be using Nature's inexhaustible sources of
energy - sun, wind and tide... I'd 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.



In conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone (1931); as quoted
in Uncommon Friends : Life with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey
Firestone, Alexis Carrel & Charles Lindbergh (1987) by James Newton,
p. 31.
