    Edison opens the first DC (direct current) electric power station on Pearl Street in Manhattan. Within five years, 120 more Edison power stations will open across the United States, delivering DC electricity to customers and dominating the energy market. But DC electricity can only be transmitted about a mile before it starts to lose power.
