Tesla or Edison?

DC is more efficient for long distance lines and would have made it easier to integrate solar cells into individual households.
 
lol..I thought I missed a rock band named Edison.

At any rate, I went to see Tesla in Cleveland a few weeks ago. :)
 
and the sign says long haired freaky people
need not apply
so i took meh fuck it nevermind
 
While Edison will probably win you a pie on Trivial Pursuit to 75% of the questions "who invented", most of Tesla's brilliance is unknown to the majority of the world.

I vote Tesla
 
Tesla had much more theoretical knowledge, Edison was more practical.
 
Tesla sort of shook his head at the way Edison would try ten thousand different things that obviously wouldn't work, just to make sure.

The DC vs AC thing was more Westinghouse (with Tesla as his employee) vs. Edison, with Edison on the side of DC. Really long distance lines need high voltage, which means AC. Distributed production and storage is where DC would shine.
