Central-Station Electric Service

Insull was one of the leading figures in the development of the electric power industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this collection of his public addresses, he provides a fascinating glimpse into the commercial and economic forces that drove the growth of this vital sector of the American economy. From the early experiments with AC and DC power to the emergence of the modern grid system, Insull's insights are essential reading for anyone interested in the history of energy.
