Part 6 "Owning it All"

Episode 6: Owning it All

With an investment from Morgan, the Edison Electric Company is created and begins wiring homes in New York. A rival, Nikola Tesla, soon emerges with a different technology for electric light. A battle between Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) power ensues. Morgan eventually buys out

Edison and forms General Electric which adopts AC power, setting the stage for the next several decades of electric power. Meanwhile, there is increasing unrest among American workers as the gap between the rich and the poor grows.

BEDROCK, HORSEPOWER, PRIVATE SECTOR, STREAMLINE,

VIABLE, VULNERABILITY, WATERSHED,
