Book Description
Excerpt from Electricity on Farms in Northwestern Washington Little information has been available until' recently concerning uses of electricity, either in homes or on farms. Specifically, little is known as to the uses Of electricity as related to the economic characteristics of farms; as to factors affecting the extent of use; as to changes in farm organization made as a result of availability of electric energy; and as to the cost of electricity to farmers. Information relating to these questions is needed if farmers and farm leaders are to keep abreast Of modern develop ments in agricultural production. The information is needed also to provide a better basis for the extension of distribution lines into rural areas and for adjusting system design to meet the requirements Of the area to be served. Finally, information is needed to indicate probable future growth in the use of electricity on farms as a part Of the over-all planning process for adequate generating, transmission, and distribution facilities.

Book Description
The Pacific Northwest holds an abundance of resources for energy production, from hydroelectric power to coal, nuclear power, wind turbines, and even solar panels. But hydropower is king. Dams on the Columbia, Snake, Fraser, Kootenay, and dozens of other rivers provided the foundation for an expanding, regionally integrated power system in the U.S. Northwest and British Columbia. A broad historical synthesis chronicling the region's first century of electrification, Paul Hirt's new study reveals how the region's citizens struggled to build a power system that was technologically efficient, financially profitable, and socially and environmentally responsible. Hirt shows that every energy source comes with its share of costs and benefits. Because Northwest energy development meant river development, the electric power industry collided with the salmon fishing industry and the treaty rights of Northwest indigenous peoples from the 1890s to the present. Because U.S. federal agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation built many of the large dams in the region, a significant portion of the power supply is publicly owned, initiating contentious debates over how that power should best serve the citizens of the region. Hirt dissects these ongoing battles, evaluating the successes and failures of regional efforts to craft an efficient yet socially just power system. Focusing on the dynamics of problem-solving, governance, and the tense relationship between profit-seeking and the public interest, Hirt's narrative takes in a wide range of players-not only on the consumer side, where electricity transformed mills, mines, households, commercial districts, urban transit, factories, and farms, but also power companies operating at the local and regional level, and investment companies that financed and in some cases parasitized the operators. His study also straddles the international border. It is the first book to compare energy development in the U.S. Northwest and British Columbia. Both engaging and balanced in its treatment of all the actors on this expansive stage, The Wired Northwest helps us better understand the challenges of the twenty-first century, as we try to learn from past mistakes and re-design an energy grid for a more sustainable future.
