-Caveat Lector-

System:   DC and AC are completely different systems.    AC is not and
improvement, it is in fact a radical departure.    This is one of the reason
why Tesla received such resistance.     And let's be honest,  Tesla did not
have a monopoly on arrogance.

In every degree,  great men of science stand on the shoulders of other great
men who proceed before them.    In Tesla's case, it was Faraday's work which
proved that in showing that a magnet could induce electricity, Tesla's
contribution to the scheme was that he induced electricity by a rotating
magnetic field.

There is but a third way to distribute electircity:  reciporical current.

About the only thing that can be conljectured by the fact that we are AC
based is that power is regionally monoplised, thus energy is monetized
according to the distance it takes to distribute it.    This created a
monopoly.     Edison along with Westinghouse, and JP Morgan where among the
first electrical energy monoplist.

Your, Howard, erroneous conjecture about there would no atomic energy smacks
a foul because saying so would be like saying there would be no advance in
energy creation and distribution.     There are many advances in energy
distribution and creation, however due to the monoplist nature of the energy
business, most of theses innovations are indeed suppressed.

Your thoughts on Edsion are accurate in so far as his acheivements.
Edison was a consummmate tickerer, with little formal scienticfic training,
however as expressed by many biographers, he had a knack for identifying
great and talented minds.     He just could not be outshown.
Intellectual hubris being a mighty thing.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing!  These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically  by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
