Lighting advances drive cheaper American power
An Oil and Gas News summary notes that early lighting relied on candles and sperm oil, costing about $22 for five candles five hours daily. Kerosene and later electricity increased light output, reducing cost to about 3 percent of earlier amounts. Today one cent powers a 20 candle light for five hours, making America the best lighted and cheapest. The piece also highlights mining states’ role in metal production and broader economic shifts. It cites U.S. mint silver purchases and recent coinage, plus tech and agricultural updates. It includes varied industrial notes from oil, mining, gold reserves, and the adoption of tractors in farming.
