A Home to Live inClashing WorldviewsBrilliant DisastersPrejudice and PersistenceHottel came to solar technology almost by accident. A prodigy from Indiana, he graduated from college at 19 and became an assistant professor at MIT at 25. He mostly studied fire and industrial furnaces but was asked to help launch the solar project. He was the only participant who came up with a concrete proposal and so, as he later recalled, was See more on sciencehistory.orgenergy.gov[PDF]
