Insanity! DC doesn't travel without dramatic loss. DC also causes
spectacular fires! Edison was an idiot.

I suggest to you to do littly more reaserch you are right about all
and specialy that Edison was not idiot because he got credit
for some one eles work.

As of today, you no longer get a choice:

"[NEW YORK] Today, Con Edison will end 125 years of direct current
electricity service that began when Thomas Edison opened his Pearl
Street
power station on Sept. 4, 1882. Con Ed will now only provide alternating
current ...."

Next thing you know, Con Ed will be upgrading to Windows 3.1.



That's strange because there is now research about supplying DC to large
computer centers because it would save money in switching power supply
losses
and the accompanying heat loads they impose...
