    Probably because, he created genuine free energy systems that would cripple the oil sector, and send the world into another recession!

    And after he died the oil company's tried to bury his papers on the subject.

    But of course it would also give the world a free limitless way to create electricity, power electric cars, level the playing field in third world economy's, etc.

    Great for the environment, not so good for oil company's, jobs and the economy.

    Even free energy forms take people to structure them, maintain them, etc. There would be jobs - just different ones than pumping the snot out of the inner earth. We don't know what draining all those cavities is going to do yet either. As far as jobs - if we got deep into environmental clean up and restoration as well as new forms of energy, there would be tons of jobs for everyone.

    This is a cool hidden object game (you can play free for one hour) no obligation

    ... and not an affiliate link of any kind

    The story is Tesla's associate did something to steal all the color out of the world and of course Tesla is blamed for it throughout history.

    Repairing transmitters and various contraptions and going back to the past is part of the game and in the end the villain is done and color is restored to the world.

    Tesla was a cool guy.

    He does.

    It's in Belgrade (he was born in modern-day Croatia to Serbian parents), and it has hundreds of thousands of documents and other items relating to him.

    What I'd like to know is why lots of people seemed obsessed with Tesla, and yet don't try to replicate his studies or attempt to create these "free energy" machines. Perhaps he did have amazing technological know-how that was surpressed by greedy industrialists like Edison...or perhaps it's all bullspit perpetuated by insane conspiracy theorists. I'm a skeptic; build one of his machines and show us. Don't just cry about how amazing the concept is and how it's all those damned rich people's fault. (no insult intended...just healthy skepticism)
