May have put my foot in a beartrap on that one..but..but..I read it on the internet(?)
The 220V (all higher voltages) are reputed to be safer because they pop the connection instead of making it stick and burn.
Don't get me wrong. Edison was still just a jerk in a suit, and Tesla was sent to earth by our alien overlords to lead humanity into the future.
But that article sparked something:
The fundamentals of energy distribution and human conditions could be permanently altered. This equates to power/money/political structures, travel, comfort, etc., all of which rapidly changes the dynamics of society and culture.
Just as liquid energy/gasoline once created the personal-automobile society which we have been living for a century(heightened during the 1950's with the Highway Act, urban sprawl and youthful independance from parents), Direct Current energy production/storage from local sources would change our lifestyle...
De-centralization.
No longer would transportation be dependant on local point-of-sales sourced from a vertical-trust system based on international politics. Cities and States could compete against each other. People would move to places that perform best. Strife would occur. Societies would change.
