Was Thomas Edison’s conviction about the dangers of AC current as opposed to the DC current he was developing, based on more than the immediate potential danger from electrocution with AC current? Was he intuitively seeing there was a deeper danger? Was he being impulsed from the divine realm about the long-term negative health effects of using AC power for our infrastructure, which is still unappreciated by mainstream science?

Once again, your fine intuitive reach has brought you inner knowing of an important element in the past experiencing of this iconic figure who made tremendous contributions to society but, as typically happens, did not get everything right. Still, he was intuitively correct in his misgivings about AC power and while that can be seen as shortsighted and a failing of his, to not resolve the technical problems that were holding him up in creating a way to deliver it safely to do useful work, he was nonetheless accurate in portraying it as a danger. This got lost in the shuffle because of the preeminence of his competitors in the end, where Westinghouse, with Nikola Tesla’s help, was able to make good on the promise of AC power to be delivered over long distances much, much cheaper than DC current, given the need for generators which were costly and would need to be built by the many thousands, because each would have a short radius of viable power delivery to customers. The deeper issue of the health liability from the electromagnetic frequencies given off by power lines and even stepped-down house current, because these signals emanate from the wiring itself and fill the environment where people are living and working all day, every day, with unhealthy radiation, will prove to be a scourge. It is already, but not fully appreciated by mainstream science to understand the extent to which it shortens the average lifespan.
