I think what Edison was trying to say is basically that every great discovery involves an awful lot of hard work (99% perspiration), and only a very little amount of "flashes of brilliance" (1% inspiration).
Being genius on something requires hardworking not merely cleverly inventive or resourceful. Great accomplishment is a matter of dedication to your goals. Great accomplishments depend not so much on ingenuity as on hard work.
It means that even though many have the potential to do great things, it doesn't mean anything unless one actually does something with it. Inspiration is only the prerequisite; one can only take it somewhere with hard work and dedication and by putting themselves in a place where they can have the opportunity to be recognized.

Nuclear power plants provided 13.5 percent of the world's electricity production in 2010. In total, 15 countries relied on nuclear energy to supply at least one-quarter of their total electricity.
If you mean a twenty percent chance of precipitation, yes. In some cases a system will produce isolated supercell thunderstorms which have the potential to produce tornadoes. While most places would not see any rain from these storms, there would be the potential for tornadoes.
90 % of lifes rewards are through work

He said many things. One of his most famous quotes is, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration" Another is, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Work and you will accomplish your goal if you have a little inspiration.
He means if it takes 1 day to come up with a great idea to do something it takes 99 days of hard work to complete it. Or something like that.

That depends on what you mean by special. If by special you mean different, then yes, everyone is born special. However, Thomas Edison said "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." This means that if you want to be recognized for doing something truly great you have to work at it. Everyone is special!!! God made everyone special in different ways, you have many different talents you just have to find them. You don't have to be good at school or good at sport to be special. You just have to be who you are; how god made you! God loves you no matter what and that means that you are definitely special!!
If by inspiration you mean inhaling, yes, they do.
It means genius, truly genius.
No, being a genius does not mean you can do stuff like that.
Idiot and imbecile are two words that mean the opposite of genius.
