 This picture from the U.S. National Archives shows the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, during the 1930s, engaged in rural electrification, bringing power to the people. They built dams to make hydroelectric power, but they also used coal, and the government helped bring the wires that brought the electricity to the people. This government decision had a lot of winners. It included the people that got the power. It included people who were building coal-fired power plants and people building dams. It also had losers, including people who made windmills, because with the government supporting this centralized power coming in through the wire, getting your own distributed power from your own windmill was less favorable. And so when governments make decisions, they really do have winners and losers. And the situation we have now with more coal than wind in part comes from decisions that were made in the past by the government.
