In the 19th century, Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan launched the start of electrification with their hard work on one of the first electric-powered invention, known as the incandescent light bulbs, alongside Charles Brush and Werner von Siemens. These noble people inspired the first creation of what is known as the power plant in order to power the entire city with electricity. The power plant consisted of very lengthy wires that connected to the city in order to give the city it's power. As the next century came along, the power plant was revised by the group known as American Gas & Electric. AG&E reduced the cost of transportation by constructing the first long-distance high-voltage transmission line, which made it easier for the city to receive power from the plants. Another revision came yet again, as the use of coal became a very common use for fuel. These techniques for gaining power were commonly used all around the city, until is began to receive more recognition as this would usually become an occupation and would eventually help America in it's desperate times, such as the Great Depression.
