In the United States, electricity became common in homes in the 1930s. Some people living in the country still did not have access to electricity at this time.

When electricity became accessible to a large number of people in the 1930s, it allowed people to enjoy life's little luxuries, such as hot plates, waffle irons and electric stoves.

For many who enjoyed country living, electricity didn't come their way for a few more decades. However, these were the families that could have used electricity the most. It would have helped them complete the number of chores necessary to keep their farms thriving and healthy.

@LiterateHiker I'm curious where the electrical power was generated. Here, one of the first power generators was on an island with a lake on top of a high hill. A slough was built to funnel the water to a turbine and generated power for a sawmill. Later, on Orcas, a diesel power generator was installed in 1937 to supply power. In 1951 a submarine cable was sunk to supply power to 20 islands. Trying to find Moses Coulee everything that comes up concerns the Grand Coulee Dam. This dam was not full operational until 1941.

@JackPedigo

Hydropower from dams on the Columbia River generated electricity.

@LiterateHiker Thank you. I was so focused on the Grand Coulee Dam I forgot about earlier ones. All my searching also did not help. I guess I need to learn how to phrase searches better.

Exactly. He looks like hell.

White beards are extremely aging.

Certainly, everyone’s free choice, but we don’t have to pretend we find it attractive.

@MsKathleen
People who don’t find it attractive don’t have to pretend, and people who do find it attractive... don’t need to pretend.

@skado That’s partly what I said. I see no need to chastise anyone for expressing a preference.
