Napoleon, you have your facts screwed up...
Edison invented DC, which can only be transmitted over a short distance. It would have required power stations every mile or so.
Tesla invented AC, which we use today, which can be transmitted over much longer distances.
Edison used the Elephant experiment to discredit Tesla and try to demonstrate that AC was too dangerous. It failed however, as Tesla's AC won out because of its supeioroirty over Edison DC plan.

- That's not true. High Voltage DC (HVDC) is used to transmit power between grids (i.e. long distances).

neither AC or DC were
"invented" they were discovered and everything you posted is the same as what I posted. Lol
If Tesla "won" why is it "ConEdison" and not "ConTesla" that powers New York currently.
Maybe you should understand what you are saying before you say "screwed up"
