Tesla was the one pushing DC. He lost that battle and the electric companies went with AC, which was pushed by Edison.

You've got that exactly backwards. Tesla and George Westinghouse were pushing AC. Edison was the proponent of DC.

The only time that Edison pushed AC was when the state of New York was looking at developing and using an electric chair. Edison didn't want any part of that one.

Ok, you have it right. I did get it backward. I was thinking that Edison pushed AC because of his light bulb.

Anyway, correct answer is Here.
