1
00:00:02,066 --> 00:00:05,300
Every day I send you a thousand 
times more power than you'll use 
in a year.

2
00:00:07,533 --> 00:00:10,666
The sun's energy is absorbed 
and transported into heat.

3
00:00:12,366 --> 00:00:14,333
She was vivacious and she 
was a tremendous promoter.

4
00:00:15,733 --> 00:00:17,900
She's not just a scientist. 
She's glamorous.

5
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:20,966
She's entertaining. She's fun.

6
00:00:20,966 --> 00:00:23,600
She was ahead of her time 
and asking the right questions.

7
00:00:26,433 --> 00:00:29,500
Dr. Maria Telkes has 
designed a model house

8
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:30,766
in which solar heat is 
distributed throughout the whole 
house.

9
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:34,300
Everything about that 
house was unusual and radical.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Nothing else would 
even get close

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,200
to the Dover Sun House in 
terms of media coverage.

12
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,833
The modern insulating window, 
delivers year round comfort.

13
00:00:43,833 --> 00:00:46,500
It was this age of all this 
talk about solar.

14
00:00:47,366 --> 00:00:50,500
She really imagined this as

15
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:51,266
revolutionizing the 
way that people lived.

16
00:00:53,866 --> 00:00:57,000
Telkes knew you can't just wait 
for society to be ready.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,733
You need to sell 
them on this idea.

18
00:01:01,566 --> 00:01:03,733
Telkes is seen as too aggressive 
and pushy.

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,466
This was not something that 
would have been easy as a woman.

20
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,433
The men at MIT are furious that 
she is getting attention for 
this.

21
00:01:13,166 --> 00:01:14,500
She was a groundbreaker 
in so many ways.

22
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,033
She's laying a foundation for 
pretty much everything now that 
we

23
00:01:19,033 --> 00:01:20,066
do with solar.
