Excerpt from Pennsylvania Park News, Vol. 30: June, 1942I am not going into the damage to the coal industry and the power industry which will be caused by the widespread introduction of government-built, owned and operated hydro-electric development in this state. This can run into untold figures and thousands upon thousands of unemployed.The U. S. Engineers' Office states that, at the earliest, this dam cannot be completed until some time in 1944. How many years it will take to fill the reser voir is a guess. In the summer months at Cooksburg it is possible to walk across the bed of the river without getting wet. Probably the evaporation from so great a body of water would equal the ¿ow in summer months.Granted a source of power in three to [our years, the exact effectiveness of which is problematic, it seems obvious that, in such a length of time, steam electric power plants could be built in this state in much less time which would exceed in effectiveness and output all the hydro-electric installations which it is possible to build.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
