Treading water
In 1954, Lewis Strauss, then chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, gave a speech in which he famously predicted
that "our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too
cheap to meter." Whether he was talking about fission reactors or a
secret fusion project is unclear, but he was wrong in either case. What did turn out to be too cheap to meter, however, was water.http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/columnists/dawn-stover/treading-water
