    Nobody would fund his crazy idea of free electricty for all, since there was no return on that investment. Capitalism is why we don’t have free unlimited energy.

    Oh and Edison stole a shitton of his (and other people’s) ideas while simultaneously slandering them to fuck their reputation and improve his own.

      1. Tesla’s free energy for all plan wouldn’t work. We get closest to it with single wire; Earth return. Earth can’t carry both directions, and the air cannot carry a reasonable amount of power, lightning aside — and you can’t run lightning bolts to each customer
      2. Tesla’s free energy for all plan would be difficult to metre so it would have to be funded by a flat rate so it would be difficult to encourage people to use less power
