Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Electrification After the War There are still many untapped or inadequately utilized natural resources in rural areas. There is also need of rural processing industries close to the source of production. And after the war there may again be a seasonal, if not year-round, oversupply of manpower in many rural areas. The welfare of the Nation demands that these rural resources and needs be not neglected. Electricity provides a key to their development. Therefore, the development of every type of suitable rural industry in every electrified rural area should be considered part of a Nation wide rural electrification program. To be of maxi mum service to farm people, such developments should be cooperatively owned and controlled, wherever possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Lines, USA: The Story of Cooperative Rural Electrification The chief problem, however, remained one of getting electricity at a cost that would permit farmers and other rural people to put it to work. Some electric companies were willing to extend service to rural con sumers, but the price usually was prohibitive. As a rule, farmers had to pay from to per mile for construction of the lines to their homesteads. Then, on top of these heavy construction costs, rural people usually had to pay more for the electricity they used than did their neighbors in the city. One man deeply concerned about the high cost of rural electric service was Morris L. Cooke, an electrical engineer. He set out once and for all to solve the puzzle of the true cost of distributing electricity in rural areas. As an adviser to the Power Authority of the State of New York, he and a small staff of engineers started from scratch, adding up labor and material costs. Published in 1933, their findings showed that it was possible to build rural lines from $300 to cheaper per mile than power companies claimed they could be built. But it was evident to many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, that rural people in 1935 would not get central station electric service at rates they could afford to pay without the Federal Government's lending a hand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1943 State Legislation Relating to Rural Electrification Forty-four state legislatures held regular sessions in 1915. Wisconsin and New Jersey carried their 1916 sessions over into January 191-11 California held two special sessions; Georgia also met in special session. However, these special sessions did not consider legislation affecting the rural electrification program. Because of the preoccupation of the legislatures with war measures, emphasis in electric cooperative legislative activities was placed on resisting utility-inspired attacks upon existing statutory frameworks and on securing enactment only of those measures urgently required to remove immediately pressing burdens and.

This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity Comes to Rural America: June, 1950 Before 1935 not many people were greatly concerned whether rural people ever got electricity or not. And the old muscle method or gas-engine power seemed the only way to accomplish barnyard tasks. As for the farm wife - well, she just couldn't be expected to have all the com forts her sister in town had. If food spoiled for lack of refrigeration, if Dad's shirts got scorched with an iron heated too long on the wood range, that was bad luck. People in small villages, near the farms service station operators, proprietors of country stores, church and school leaders - some of them had electricity, here and there, but like the farmers around them, they too depended mainly on hand power and kerosene lamps.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1941 State Legislation Relating to Rural Electrification The usual Obstacles in the way of the affirmative program, private power company opposition and political obstruction, were encountered in;various states with varying degrees of effective ness. On the defensive side, these sources of obstruction were relatively quiet. By and large, the officers and memberships of our cooperative borrowers demonstrated good political sense, in the broad meaning of the term, in connection with legislation. Occasionally, lack of co ordination and dissension was encountered in the ranks. Every effort was made to smooth out the rough spots. It may now be reported that the campaign in each of the states closed on.a note of willingness to cooperate for the common good.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Power for the Farm Farmers will be slow to install electrical equipment and pay for electric energy unless it can be demonstrated that by so doing they can actually save money or that the conveniences and comforts made possible by electricity fully justify the necessary expenditures. The power companies and even the manufacturers of electrical appliances and equipment may be obliged to market their products at prices which for a time may mean a loss, in order to develop a sufficient volume of business to bring them a reasonable return. It would be of mutual advantage to all concerned if such rates and policies for supplying electric service were formulated that, in a reasonably short time, an increase in the use of energy and electrical equipment would lower the prices so that farmers could afford to buy and power companies afford to sell.

Download or read book Electrifying the Rural American West written by Leah S. Glaser and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans consider electricity essential to their lives, but the historic disparity of its distribution and use challenges notions of a democratic lifestyle, economy, and culture. By the beginning of the twentieth century, substations, wires, towers, and poles had followed migrants westward as the industrial era?s most prominent symbols of progress and power. When private companies controlled power production, electrical transmission, and distribution without regulation, they argued that it was not ?economically feasible? for many ethnic and rural communities to access ?the grid.? Yet, government agents continued to advocate electrical living through federal programs that reached into and across farming communities and American Indian reservations to homogenize and assimilate them through urban technologies. In the end, however, rural electrification was a locally directed process, subject to local and regional issues, concerns, and parameters. ø Electrifying the Rural American West provides a social and cultural history of rural electrification in the West. Using three case studies in Arizona, Leah S. Glaser details how, when examined from the local level, the process of electrification illustrates the impact of technology on places, economies, and lifestyles in the diverse communities and landscapes of the American West. As today?s policy-makers advocate building more power lines as a tool to bring democracy to faraway places and ?smart grids? to deliver renewable energy, they would do well to review the historical relationship of Americans with electronic power production, distribution, and regulation.
