Young men worked in national forests and on conservation and road projects across the United States. They sewed grass‚ planted trees‚ fought forest fires‚ and built bridges and public swimming pools. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) built hydroelectric dams and provided cities with energy. The TVA also aimed to provide flood control through reforestation in the American lands. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) funded government projects such as building new schools‚ hospitals‚ and airports

solvent banks with the Reconstruction Finance Cooperation’s guidance and loans. In another effort to provide relief‚ FDR signed the Tennessee Valley Act that permitted the federal government to construct dams along the Tennessee River. These dams helped control flooding and created inexpensive hydroelectric power for the people inhabiting the areas near by. Just proceeding‚ Congress passed a bill called the Agricultural Adjustment Act which encouraged farmers to stop growing crops in order to end the agricultural

How can the alternative source of energy be harnessed effectively? Losing polluting natural resource is one of the most serious problems that people concerned during the 21st century. Scientists have found that traditional sources like fossil fuels are threatening people’s lives as well as the environment. Due to this‚ some countries have started their plans to harness‚ renewable energy and achieved satisfactory success. For a decade‚ the majority of countries in Europe have proved that used alternative

There are many forms of energy potential‚ electrical‚ chemical and magnetic just to name a few. Energy is used for everything an individual must do from preparing a meal to launching a rocket. There are two general categories of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy that

1890’s‚ William T. Love came to Niagara Falls‚ NY with ambitious plans to create a wonderful metropolis. The city that he had designed would later become home to more than one million residents‚ as well as many industries. With extensive use of hydroelectric dams‚ thousands of acres would have become one of the most beautiful places in the world. Loves plans failed when the county went through an economical depression‚ and he later abandoned the efforts to build the city. Before the plans had stopped

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and

Green energy is energy that is produced in such a way as to minimize its negative impact on the environment. Traditional energy sources‚ most notably fossil fuels‚ produce greenhouse gases that are believed to be the primary cause of an effect known as global warming or climate change. Sources of green energy‚ such as solar‚ wind‚ geothermal‚ and hydro energy‚ are developed and promoted as alternative sources that make little or no contribution to climate change. Even nuclear energy is sometimes
