Didn't Tesla propose using DC current, basically broadcast/produced from

all one had to do was ground one side/wire to Earth. The other side or

I'm not a technical person but I think I have the basic premise right.


No. It wasn't DC, since DC is direct current. That was Edison who
would have needed a power plant every half mile or so. Tesla was hyping
"Broadcast power" which was lossy broadband RF power that would wipe out
most of the usable RF spectrum. Due to the 'Inverse Square Law', it was
impractical, and always will be.

Tesla was responsible for AC power distribution, which ****ed Edison
off.
