George Westinghouse was Teslas supporter. Tesla had a contract that entitled him to a royalty on every AC kilowatt sold. He could have been the richest man on the planet. He traded it for Georges support of his experiments, then used up trainloads of coal to power what was considered total folly. [Free distribution of energy? Cool, but how does the 'power' get paid for?] Tesla was a genius, but he wasn't very practical sometimes. Had no clue as to markets.
