<<Edison said that AC current wouldn't be of any value because it didn't go anywhere. He wanted to wire the country with D.C. >> Edison also spent a lot of effort and money to get William Wemmler executed in the electric chair to show that AC was deadly. The chair did work after a fashion. They were low on amps and instead of killing him with a massive shock the poor guy was cooked to death.
