The history of the United States of America is also the history of
the energy sector. Natural gas provides the fuel that allows us to
heat our homes in winter and cool them in summer with the touch of
a button or turn of a dial - when the industry runs smoothly. From
the oil crisis of the 1970s to the fall of Enron and the California
electricity crisis at the turn of the century to contemporary
issues of hydraulic fracking, poorly conceived government policies
have sometimes left us shivering, stranded, or with significantly
lighter wallets. In this expansive narrative, Charles Blanchard
traces the rise of natural gas and the regulatory missteps that
nearly ruined the market. Beginning in the 1880s, The Extraction
State explains how the New Deal regulatory compact came together in
the 1920s, even before the Great Depression, and how it fell apart
in the 1970s. From there, the book dissects the policies that
affect us today, and explores where we might be headed in the near
future.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
