And here's an energy thought to close out the week: Edison made thousands of unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."Friday, February 11, 2011
Happy 164th Birthday...
to Thomas Alva Edison, the patented inventor of the first light bulb. Today we recognize this great scientist who perfected and patented the incandescent light bulbs still being used today. This is not a day to bash inefficient incandescent bulbs and hearld the energy saving LED and CFL bulbs. No, today we must honor a world-changing and revolutionary inventor and scientist who gave us the electric light bulb and many other life-changing inventions.
