“Iʹd put my money on the sun and solar
energy. What a source of power! I hope we
donʹt have to wait until oil and coal run out
before we tackle that. “ Thomas Edison 1931
• 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
