Edison recommended direct current (DC) for the
Paris Exposition (I believe), and
Tesla recommended alternating current (AC).
Tesla won the competition, and the place
was ablaze with intense light, at midnight.
Edison was enraged by the loss, and went
to work to retaliate -- against Tesla,
even though AC was (and is) far superior
for almost all engineering purposes.
The bankers stepped in and, when Tesla
explained that electricity could be supplied
to each home, at no cost, the bankers asked,
"You mean, we won't be able to meter it?"
Tesla answered, "Yes, that is correct."
The bankers headed for the door and said,
"You'll be hearing from us."
They never returned.
Sic transit gloria pecuniae.
