“The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.” Nikola Tesla
Could be a reference to recent electric car fires. A loose ground wire? Once upon a time, certain long haulers had to drag a short length of train to ground their load. Was fun to see them leaving a tail of sparks at 55mph or better, especially at night.
I had a physics professor who always did his demos with one hand in his pocket because, as he said, “I don’t want to become part of the circuit.”

Nikola Tesla never got the credit he deserved when he was alive. He died poor and disillusioned.

So take that Thomas Edison! You may have invented the light bulb, but we are using Tesla’s A.C. electricity to power it up!

always remember that if you get a charge out of something they’ll eventually find a way to charge you for it…

The grounding connection is the most important one. That’s why it gets the least attention.

And don’t open too many charge accounts…

Actually, being ungrounded may save your life in an electrical mishap.

You don’t want to be grounded and come close to a Van de Graaff generator.

As everything in life has proven it is not the best and brightest who get ahead it is the one with the best publicist.

Mark Twain liked Tesla. Or was it Samuel Clemens who liked Tesla? I get them confused.
