A Direct Current Generator Could Power a Factory 200 Miles Away

Edison had developed a means of electrical power called direct current, which was already being established as the primary means of powering new york city and cities around the world. But within five years tesla would completely undo all edison's best efforts by presenting the world his own form of electrical powercalled alternating current. It was 20 times more powerful and efficient than direct current. Imagine if the world still ran on direct current. To day, property value and rent would likely be higher for buildings that were located closer to edison generator stations. I mean, as that would mean your lights would be brighter and your computer and television could receive the full voltage they need.
