The last I heard, the Mr. Tesla had convinced all the utilities to push alternating current.

I thought it was Westinghouse..

And, I don't think a cable knows the difference anyway. Provided it can handle the current.

I thought it was Westinghouse..

Actually Westinghouse bank-rolled some of Tesla's work in the deployment of AC. Tesla tried to sell it to Edison, but the old fart had too much invested in DC to listen to the new Serbian kid that he had hired.

PS: I actually watched a guy in the Dominican Republic do this very thing, successfully..

He was pretty clumsy and I was waiting for him to get fried off his roof.
