Synopsis
Excerpt from Looking Squarely at the Water Power Problem
This is a personal appeal for water power legislation. The author confesses that he has an old-fashioned ambition to do a constructive thing - to assist in the creation of an industrial opportunity in a neglected place and to make homes on land now silent. He also cherishes a hope of reasonable and wholesome reward. These are two honorable incentives which have, from the beginning of things, animated individual effort. Some people re gard such motives distrustfully but it cannot be believed that such sentiments which, if manifested in an earlier day, would have impeded or stifled our greatest commercial achievements, will long survive in the present day. Therefore, the author will state his case in all frankness and be confident that those who cannot accept his conclusions will have no reason to misconstrue his purpose.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of water power development, a topic of great national interest and economic significance. The author argues that water power, our greatest natural resource, is vital to the nation's prosperity, and that its development should be fostered and encouraged. However, due to outdated and impractical Federal legislation, water power development is stagnant. This insightful book analyzes the current state of water power development in the United States, examining its history, legal and policy frameworks, and its potential benefits, such as in fertilizer production, irrigation, transportation, and more. Through a comprehensive examination of the economic and environmental advantages, the author makes a compelling case for reforming water power laws to facilitate responsible development, arguing that it is essential for progress, sustainability, and the nation's overall well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
