It required innovations in drilling and refinery. In timber production, it demanded innovation in the felling of trees, sawing mills and processing of wood. California was the first place to have an offshore drilling station. Water had to be moved for long distances for hydroelectric power and irrigation. Technological innovations allowed all this demands to be met and increase output which had the net effect of a rapid growth of California's economy.
With prospectors flocking to California in the mid-18th century to 19th century, supportive institutions were created to foster growth in region. The U.S. government made policies which favored the economic growth of California. It was granted instant statehood in 1850. Californians took the reins of government and setting up policies which favored the growth of the industries. The state also levied taxes on foreign firms and waived the same on local ones. This gave local industries an edge. Securing water...
The U.S. government ceded control of water to the state and adopted the California practices on the state's land. Attempts to have a centralized control of the groundwater were met with resistance by concerned parties. This allowed the exploitation of ground water in the same way oil was, (Walker, 2001, p. 22). The government also offered promotions and subsidies to various industries which benefitted economy of California in a great way. An example is the money poured into the coffers of central pacific by the U.S. government which allowed the big four industries to flourish.
California is the ideal example of where capitalism and use of natural wealth can bring about rapid economic growth to a nation. This interplay between the capitalism system and the natural resources is exemplified through the historical utility of the resources, as simple as water all the way to the complex resources like gold and silver that needed engineers for extraction, well organized labor and administration that ensured such tenets of production were well assembled and directed towards ensuring California becomes an…

Natural Resource & Energy Natural Resource Energy Economics is how to earn money and how to consume it. Adam Smith is known as the father of economics who proposed the basic and the most authentic definition of the term 'Economics'. Economics is known as a king subject which is used in almost every field. The main perspective of this study is to jot down about an ecosystem of Big Bear Lake. Apart from
Fate of the Earth Unfortunately, even if someone could wave a magic wand that causes all of the nuclear weapons on earth to disappear, many believe that due to the depletion of natural resources, the earth would still be in danger of catastrophe, and humankind in danger of extinction. Jonathan Schell's book "Fate of the Earth" is an alarming portrait of the nuclear power in the world. Since the end of World
In the GEOMAR methodology, carbon dioxide displaces methane within the water lattice which reforms into a more stable state than was present with the methane. While this new technology is still in development, it is very promising (Traufetter, 2007). Recent advances by researchers from Japan, China, India, Canada, Australia, and the United States could result in commercial exploitation of Methane gas within the decade. Natural gas recovery techniques have come
Water conservation can only provide so much of the resource. Other resources need to be developed to keep up with demand. The Clavey-Wards Ferry project will create a reservoir that will provide an extra 12,000 acre of water for supply to the growing population needs of the San Francisco Bay area (Ibid, 3) 2) Due to the energy crisis, all sources of clean energy must be exploited. Hydroelectric power emits
China Sample California's costal ocean region is characterized with both positive and negative attributes. The California Coastal Region is along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. This area is a beautiful, desirable area to live in, causing real estate to be among the highest in the United States. In fact, this area was one of the fastest to recover after the great recession of 2008, due primarily to its natural beauty.
