The Google Doodle is pretty cool today. I don't know what all that crap is but in the end he lit up a light bulb  :D
Wait a minute, isn't that my goal?

It was Thomas Edisons 164th birthday yesterday. Funny we don't celebrate
Tesla's birthday, he was AS important to the world of power as Edison ever
was.

Who was Edison?  Oh, wasn't he the corporate degenerate ass who fried an elephant in public with electricity?  Pretty disgusting and shameful act, smoke and all.

Yes he spent what was the rest of his life trying to not talk about
Tesla who had JP Morgans ear and trying to discredit AC Power.
When George Wesinghouse went with Tesla for the Generators at
Niagra Falls it was the beginning of the end for DC Power.

And then solar panels, and wind turbines, became available and folks needed to store, and or use, the DC generated thereby. Solid state inverters have come a long way in the past 10 years to reformat that stored, or not, DC into AC. Heck, computers wouldn't work right/as easily without DC. DC has it's place, but not in long distance distribution. I like DC. ;)
