Nsgarch. Yes, Edison was a proponent of DC current. You would need a generator every 50 yards or so to keep the DC going. We have to thank Nikola Tesla for winning the current war and for the transmission of AC current.
Yes, I know Tesla was basically ACs creator, but wasn't it Westinghouse who won the AC/DC war in this country (against Edison) and made AC the standard here? I'm pretty sure that was the story. I'll double check later. .
