工業革命的另一章：燃煤發電
您知道美國的工業革命：燃煤發電嗎？
工業革命始於19世紀晚期。它泛指某一時期的社會及經濟變遷，肇因於技術革新及生產方式的改變，即由原本的人力生產改為機械生產。這就是所謂的機械化。當時煤廣泛的應用在建築物加熱上，它也被當作蒸氣引擎的燃燒原料，可用在製造業及移動器械上，幾乎可以用來發動所有工業革命的新發明(新的想法、方法或裝置)。
這部影片的拍攝地點是俄亥俄州的克裡夫蘭，它會向您展示人們如何將車上的煤裝載到停靠在伊利鐵路(Erie
Railroad)上的車廂。煤仍是俄亥俄州最重要的礦源之一，事實上，1999年時，該州收入達數十億的煤工業即生產了2240萬噸的煤。
Did you know that coal powered America's Industrial Revolution?
The Industrial Revolution took place in the late 19th century. It was a period of social and economic change caused by technological advances and the switch in manufacturing from the work of humans to machines. This is called mechanization. At this time, coal was widely used to heat buildings. It was also burned to power steam engines used in manufacturing and locomotion and to power almost all of the innovations (new ideas, methods or devices) of the Industrial Revolution.
This film shows carloads of coal being loaded into vessels at the Erie Railroad docks in Cleveland, Ohio. Coal is still one of Ohio's most important mineral resources. In fact, the state's multibillion-dollar coal industry produced 22.4 million tons in 1999.
