So, why does this need to be built on a piece of dirt that costs $1.7M?
Trust me, I love Tesla, and would certainly like to see a museum dedicated to his genius and achievements, but this seems like a waste of money, thrown on whoever the fuck happens to currently hold the deed to that piece of land.
Why not build it wherever, where $1.7M might actually... well, finance a museum, and not just dirt?
Somehow, I can't drop the feeling that this whole thing is somehow started by the current landowner, but I know I sound like a tinfoil hat saying that.
- alecdibble 14y agoThere is a lot of history related to Tesla and Wardenclyffe (the place they are trying to buy). After reading the history of Tesla, I believe that it is a historical site worth immortalizing and memorializing. The wikipedia article on Wardenclyffe has some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower

- daimyoyo 14y agoNo it isn't. The building was razed in 1917. All that's left is the foundation.
- femto 14y agoI read it as the tower itself being demolished in 1917, but the laboratory building, which surrounded the base of the tower, and the foundations of the actual tower, being still intact. --- Edit.
