HOW ELECTRIFICATION CHANGED In Children of Light, social historian Weightman brings to life celebrated electrical pioneers, such as Thomas Edison, Rookes Crompton, and Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti who built Britain 's first major power station on the Thames . Taking in the electrification of the London Underground, the vital modernising of industry during two World Wars and the role of environmentalists, Weightman shows that the electric revolution has brought us luxury – but at a price.
