1931年,托马斯·爱迪生悄悄告诉他的朋友亨利·福特,我们就像土地租用人,当我们需要时,砍我们房子周边的篱笆做燃料,自然就是取之不尽用之不竭的能源,太阳,风和潮水。
In 1931, Thomas Edison confided to his friend, Henry Ford, we are like tenant farmers, chopping down the fence around our house for fuel, when we should be using nature's inexhaustible sources of energy, sun, wind, and tide.
