I just watched The Secret of Nikola Tesla, which features Orson Welles as J.P. Morgan, and according to IMDB was released in 1980, but it has the look and feel of a movie made in the 1960’s, and could definitely use a remake.

Although I was aware of Tesla’s discovery of alternating current, remote control, and discoveries that led to the development of radio and television transmission, I never knew about Tesla’s bold vision for free, clean and ubiquitous energy tapped from the Ionosphere, and transmitted via a wireless power grid around the world.  100 years later, we still have combustion automobile engines, and much of the world’s energy is derived from burning coal.  How ridiculous.   2006  is the 150th anniversary of Nikola’s birth, btw.
