Tesla Museum

A few years back I wrote about Nicola Tesla and his Wardenclyffe Tower building.  That site is now for sale and  Matthew Inman is trying to raise the money to buy the site and to start a museum dedicated to Tesla. If there is one thing you need to do today that is donate to this fund!
