Yup. In actual fact, what he did was discover a way to generate and harness *alternating* current effectively. New York was already wired up and had *direct* current electric power for about 18 years before Tesla even emigrated.
(He did a lot more than that as well, such as three phase power and the radio, but it's still no invention of electricity)

That was the post that Trents brain finally snapped. Easier to tell apart...
