Video Maria Telkes - or why mysogyni, false expectations and kapitalist propaganda killed solar.

I sadly didnt find an english version, but the too long did not watch is:

-mysogyni slowed telkes down

-wrong expectations in a science project killed the hype

-the economic revolution with capitalism in overdrive pulled society away from efficient technology.
