Thomas Edison was more than the man with the light bulb. His story runs through failed inventions, tattoo machines, the world’s first movie studio and a ruthless fight for control. A stranger, messier lesson in how entrepreneurs turn ideas into industries.
After AI got a simple country list wrong, I tried again with a harder task: mapping electricity market structures. The results were much better, not because AI suddenly became perfect, but because the questions, definitions and boundaries were clearer.
The ten people who shaped how we generate, use, and understand electricity and the sparks of genius, rivalry, and humanity behind every light that shines.

A broken boiler in the UK led to a quick decision. Living with a heat pump in the US completely changed how I think about heating, comfort, and what a home should feel like.
Texas became one of the fastest growing solar and battery markets in the world. Can it keep its speed as OBBB, grid reforms, and demand reshape the energy market?
