Sad but true. Edison did little to do with the AC power in the United States. Edison wanted DC power. DC was his baby. Tesla (yes [i]that[/i] Tesla) and Westinghouse created the AC power standards used in the US. When the rest of the world stated using AC they picked somthing other than the US standard to make it harder for the alrealy establish US manufactures to sell in to the new markets.
