The aim is to turn it into a protected museum. The current asking price is $1.5m but the state of NY will put up half of the cash if the Tesla Science Center charity can raise the other $850k.
So Matthew Inman, author of The Oatmeal webcomic, is heading up the attempt to get donations. Check out the comic/infographic linked and then head over to the IndieGoGo page if you feel like chucking in a few dollars.
I’m donating the fuck out of this. Are you? Tesla was a fucking badass.
I love Tesla!
And we have the same birthday! :O
I don’t have money to donate but perhaps some of my followers do?
Edison killed elephants and tigers, electrocuted them to make people hate Tesla and buy DC at like 2 dollars a watt....
YES, PLEASE.
I’m actually kind of excited for this.
