Talk:Rural electrification

No longer a redirect
I changed this from a redirect to Tennessee Valley Authority because rural electrification has to do with more than just that agency (wasn't Stalin really into this kinda thing?) I'll try to expand in the future. Paul 05:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

This site needs to be updated given the US re-entry into Climate Change (Paris Climate 2015 with UN Sustainable Development Goals) as Executive Order of US President Joseph Biden in 2021, and in New York (e.g., rural upstate) the clean energy, bonding and grid developments under the Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo Administration. Julie Ann Racino, American Society for Public Administration, 2021

Date this was passed?
Anyone know the month/date this act was passed?
 * You'll need to see the article on the specific act you are referring to.

Re Soviet electrification programs
As per the first message, the Soviet electrification of rural areas (especially the Republics like Kazakhstan and Uzhbekistan) is an important feature of these national initiatives - the article makes no mention of the USSR history re, so I'm going to make a section in my sandbox to start a few bits with.

 * Very much needed section. See 'Lenin's slogan "Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country." ' (p.3) The whole book actually is about Soviet Rural electrification) The translation strikes me as odd, or just difficult. I don't have the original Russian in front of me, but I'll say "Communism is power to the Councils (Soviets), plus ..." Smallbones( smalltalk ) 15:23, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Statistics needed
What percentage of the world's population (or by country) have access to grid electricity? How has that changed over time? -- Beland (talk) 20:02, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

India Section
The whole section reads like an opinion piece, and no references are citied save for the figure of 400 million (which again is misleading, the IEA report states: 'access to the energy needed for lighting, mechanical power, transport and telecommunications.')

'The problem'; 'Many people' 'very high tariffs are unaffordable, resisted by all but the wealthiest users.'; 'The result'; 'is preferable'; 'there is doubt'... are not very objective phrases. Tomtriglone (talk) 07:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Environmental Costs of Extended Electrification
Electrifying the entire world is not accomplished without both measured and unmeasured ecological costs. Could a discussion section on this facet of electrification be developed? There are both personal use and use for small businesses. MaynardClark (talk) 19:12, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

US Postage Stamp celebrating Rural electrification
There was a USPO stamp celebrating Rural electrification. Wouldn't that be a great addition to the article? MaynardClark (talk) 21:03, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
