Some of us have never forgotten about him-in fact, two of his original hydros in Colorado are still owned and operated by Xcel Energy.

On the other hand, we're going to have to move towards the more decentralized generation model that Edison envisaged-and Tesla was a bad businessman-he kinda screwed himself.
