Tuskegee voting patterns among blacks and white are also significant and thematic in the work because the desire of white voters to withhold these rights stemmed from the fact that blacks held a high majority in the community and therefore could realistically turn any election they wished to with collective effort. This reality was realized early in Tuskegee, as compared to other places, in the 1970s when 80% of elected officials were black, corresponding to an above 80% black population. (p. 202) Yet, this ending is a culminated theme as many years of poll taxes, poll tests and overt disregard for the black vote often compiled with local violence against blacks wishing to and attempting to vote peppers the work. (p.20)
The work stresses individual identities and influences over change and resistance to it. One particular character, though the work stops short of deifying him which is common in civil rights histories is Booker T. Washington. "Ever since Booker Washington's arrival in 1881, blacks had been reacquiring power in small, almost imperceptible increments." (p. 30) the realistic assessment of the man, his college and the influence it had in the hearts and minds of Tuskegee residents is realistic and demonstrative of the special place that Tuskegee has in the south and in the civil rights movement.
The work also has a significant message regarding how religion and church fellowship among blacks in many ways turned the tie of the civil...
"The church [Butler Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church] was a symbol of independence for Macon County Blacks...Founded in the early days of Reconstruction by the Reverend John Butler and other freedmen, the church represented one of the first attempts by Macon County blacks to create institutions free of white control." (p. 93) the church and the independence it engendered served as a meeting place for later civil rights and local issues regarding race and organization of change and serves in many ways as an example of the importance of such institutions in the civil rights movement all over the U.S. But particularly the south.
Overall this work serves as a significant retiling and personification of individual and institutional change that was necessary for the occurrence of civil rights progress. The fact that it so closely analyses a "hot bed" of civil right change and progress, in Tuskegee is an essential aspect of how the movement itself began, developed and progresses even today. The work is a good timeline of change and resistance to it, as well as a significant work of historical value, worth reading by historians of any aspect of American history.

The production of electricity from power plants relying on this varying resource changes considerably. On the other hand the electricity demand does not cope with such variations.

Even with the fact that Ancient Greeks obviously had a limited understanding of winds, it is nonetheless intriguing to look at how they perceived conditions in which winds are more likely to occur. Wind speed is faster above the ground because it encounters less friction and winds move very fast when there is nothing to slow them down. This is why wind turbines are mounted on top of towers.

This effect is particularly important for structures on the boundary of different topographical features, such as those in Chicago, which sits next to Lake Michigan and thus feels the brunt of wind sweeping in from across the surface of the water while at the same time feeling the effects of the polar jet stream, or Los Angeles, which is positioned between the ocean and a range of tall mountains
Wind Energy Advantages of Wind Energy The exploitation of nonrenewable energy sources by the global population, notably by modern technological societies, has contributed to hostile political, economical, and environmental climates. The most notable nonrenewable energy sources, fossil fuels, which includes the burning of coal, petroleum, and natural gas, has induced concern of global warming, soaring oil prices, national energy security, and is depriving the earth of natural resources (Conner 130).

Current and Future Trends in Wind Power Applications. While the foregoing wind power initiatives would indicate that wind farms are already contributing a large percentage of the nation's energy needs, the research shows that this is far from the case.

Wind Power The greatest challenge of the 21st century is filling the gap between energy demand and supply with clean, reliable and green source of energy. Energy is very essential and it is in material form in everything that is around us. The opportunity cost of obtaining the energy that we require is the impact that is made on our environment. Some energy sources have greater impacts while others have relatively
