This could cause less gas to be available to run the power plants and possible cutbacks. By all means, add more drain to the system. Local news ran that story today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and his make work programs who many say prolonged the great depression gave loans to the power company's to hire guys to run lines to rural America. Can you honestly sit thete and yell me if not for FDR and the new deal the electric company's would not have run electric lines to rural America on thefe own ? this is what you are attempting to tell us ? Also oil pipe lines existed pre FDR and again more make work loans . And some would argue tge govenment hand on the scale is how we got to the point refining most of our crude in only 4 states . But again are you thinking if the fed would not have built oil lines the oil drillers or refiners would not havevdone it on thete own ? If you have any doubt Just look to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System Without the government program only the coast would have energy. The government built most of the electric infrastructure in middle America where all the land based oil is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 No need for it, private ownership of cars will be short lived. Remember when this was just a silly conspiracy.

In fact the government was the POS that made the electric company split from the company that owned the lines back around 2000 because they said it was an unfair advantage to own the lines that their product was traveling on.

Carlos Danger Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Any time I see new tech come along I always reflect back to the fight between the Wright Brothers and Langley. The governments pols handing out the money we're nowhere near smart enough (think Camala Harris) to understand the mechanics of flight and yet they were in charge of handing out government funds to the politically connected Langley. The Wright Brothers knew the minute they layed eyes on Langley's plane that it was a crash waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in your eyes the power company's who make billions in middle America would not have and continue to build a system to get a product to the consumer?

Or in places like um st Paul mn where Ford built his own hydro electric plant to power his factory and sold the extra power to the people who lived in the town . Many many examples exactly line this . I litteraly lol when I think some one acctualy thinks middle America would be sitting in the dark today with out the holy govenments help lmfao seriously 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1885 the St. Paul Gas Light firm built an electric generating plant on Hill Street. no mention of the new deal oh thas right That is because it was almost 50 years after st Paul first got electricity thanks FDR and the new deal for catching middle America uo with the coast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balkin fields tge fed ownes tge land and mineral rights . The oil company's lease The rights from the fed. The only money from the fed is in the fourm of tax incentives to drill not direct payments. Hell pretty sure tge Norwegians own all the fed drilling leases in the ND fields .

It wasn’t financially feasible for private companies to electrify anything out of the large cities back then. oil does not come out of the ground without an extreme amount of electricity pulling it up from the depths of the earth.

You know when you are in trouble when you move tge gole post remember a few hrs ago when it was just the coast city's who would have power lmfao . but Again revert back to my st Paul electric post . Start watching some history Channel electric has been in large and small towns long before fdr started make work programs . And the power corps would have continued to feed more and more towns with or with out the fed this is fact .but as a business you would be a fool to turn down the fed paying for your delivery of a product. Almost every one had access to electric long before the new deal . Do you know how the first ford's were powered?

Lol so in your mind if not for the govenment the power company's that spend huge money built the turbines built the dams that were already powering most small city's and mid size towns in America by the late 1800s would have just stoped what they were doing and never attempted to continue reaching more consumers.

Ez ryder Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Fyi I live in a town that in 1925 had a amusement park on a island. Population back then prob less than 200 for the whole aria it was cabin countery for the city . No highway no fuckibg road just a trolly out here . But they still had electricity on a island no less to run a amusement park. All pre new deal shocker . They must have just run the park on current bushes .and again more than a 2 keep horse ride to Amy coastal city back then Edited December 15, 2021 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no profit for a St. Paul electric to run a power line up to a farm in the iron range area to light a house…. Now all those remote cabins in middle of nowhere are on government tit for there power as there would be power in those areas without the fdr handouts and subsidies. Cause those areas wouldn’t be developed with out government funding building the infrastructure. Hell all the dams on the Missouri River which power the Bakken are government built and run as are the powerlines coming from those dams.

There was power in in Duluth in 1906 (again a lo g way from. Your big coast city's argument) there sure shit would have been power in the range as soon as oar was found there . Just reality if there is work some place and money to be made the business puts the infrastructure in place to make it happen. Don't think so ? Again I revert to the largest the Alaskan pipeline.
