The Nikola Tesla statue in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, is illuminated at night. But the large statue of Tesla on Goat Island, Niagara Falls, N. Y. and the bronze marker in Queen Victoria Park, Niagara Falls, Ont. remain unlit. A biographer calls Tesla "one of the least recognized scientific pioneers in history and at the same time possibly the greatest inventor the world has ever known." Why is Tesla, who harnessed the mighty water-power of the Falls in 1896 to produce alternating current, in the dark here during the 1985 "Festival of Lights" with so much electricity available from Niagara?
