You Lose, Edison!!!

What? What's that?

Today, Con Edison will end 125 years of direct current electricity service that began when Thomas Edison opened his Pearl Street power station on Sept. 4, 1882. Con Ed will now only provide alternating current, in a final, vestigial triumph by Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, Mr. Edison’s rivals who were the main proponents of alternating current in the AC/DC debates of the turn of the 20th century.

That's right! Suck it, Edison. Tesla won!

Because Justice and Good will always triumph over Direct Current. Even if it takes 125 years.
