I'm a bit skeptical about whether this ever really happened: In 1931, Thomas Edison had a conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. He said, "I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that."

Don't forget that before that supposed statement, that Edison had put his 'money' on supplying DC power to America, with a power plant every few blocks in metro areas.

I'm waiting for Tesla's broadcast power from the Earth's magnetic field.
