Not only that, Edison demonstrated the “lack of safety” of alternating current by electrocuting a large circus elephant named Topsy, at Coney Island’s Luna Park, and filming all this to distribute to municipalities to show how much safer DC electricity was. Poor Topsy had killed some trainers, the last one of whom fed him a lit cigarette. So banning incandescent bulbs would be right in line with major company’s interests, just like frying a poor damned elephant.
This law should be repealed and Upton has NO business being head of that committee.
I would have fried the elephant if it killed people, what is your point exactly?
Bunch of ninnys on these threads...what about tesla? what about ac? blah blah blah
