Book excerpt: Excerpt from Production and Consumption of Mineral Fuels in Illinois, 1933-1964 Although different types of energy sources have been used to provide this total consumption, coal was the most important until,1952 Coal consumption rose to a peak in the 1920' s and then gradually declined. The new and increased uses and the substitution of petroleum products for other fuels had much to do with the relative decline in the importance of coal. In 1900, the national use of petroleum products was hardly significant, but since then their use has grown steadily and strongly. Today, petroleum products and natural gas each account for more energy than does coal. The importance of natural gas as a marketed product parallels the development of pipelines since World War II. In 1965, natural gas accounted for percent, crude petroleum percent, and coal percent of the energy used in the mineral fuels market.

Download or read book Mineral Production in Illinois in 1954 Classic Reprint written by Walter Henry Voskuil and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineral Production in Illinois in 1954 Use of water in power production. Water in large quantities is needed as a cooling agent in the production of electrical power by steam-driven tur bines and electric generators. As about 400 to 700 tons of water is needed for each ton of coal used as fuel, steam power plants are often built near large bodies of cool water such as tidewater points, on the shores of the Great Lakes, or on large rivers. In the use of water for the production of power, a water head and a flow of water are required. The amount of power that can be obtained from an elevated body of water depends upon the height of the water above the water wheel and the volume of water flowing per measured period of time. The use fulness of water' flowing from a higher to a lower level in the production of power depends upon the regularity of flow. The amount of power that can be depended upon from day to day is related directly to the amount of water that can be expected to flow continuously. Modification or correction of seasonal variation in flow so as to increase the over-all year-round dependable power is one of the problems of water resource conservation in power supply.

Download or read book Natural Resources Neither Curse nor Destiny written by Daniel Lederman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-10-23 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Natural Resources: Neither Course nor Destiny' brings together a variety of analytical perspectives, ranging from econometric analyses of economic growth to historical studies of successful development experiences in countries with abundant natural resources. The evidence suggests that natural resources are neither a curse nor destiny. Natural resources can actually spur economic development when combined with the accumulation of knowledge for economic innovation. Furthermore, natural resource abundance need not be the only determinant of the structure of trade in developing countries. In fact, the accumulation of knowledge, infrastructure, and the quality of governance all seem to determine not only what countries produce and export, but also how firms and workers produce any good.
