9781527839625: Evidence Given Before the Select Standing Committee Agriculture and Colonization

Synopsis

This book examines the practical application of hydroelectric power to agriculture, primarily focusing on rural Ontario in the early 20th century. The author, a leading figure in the development of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, provides detailed descriptions of the infrastructure required to bring electricity to rural areas, including transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks. The book also discusses the economic benefits of rural electrification, including reduced costs for lighting, power, and farm equipment. The author argues that widespread adoption of hydroelectric power will not only improve the quality of life for farmers but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of rural communities.
