How did Nikola Tesla change the way we use energy?

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating "War of Currents" between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla in the late 1800s, exploring how these two electrical titans battled to determine whether direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) would power America's future. The hosts unpack the technical differences between the two systems, Tesla's brilliant innovations with transformers and long-distance power transmission, and Edison's increasingly desperate attempts to discredit AC through some rather shocking public demonstrations. You'll learn how this epic rivalry shaped the electrical infrastructure we still use today and discover some surprising facts about the brilliant but business-challenged Tesla.
