Right now, in the year of 1933, our great nation is suffering the impact of a Great Depression. The Tennessee Valley has taken a hard hit during these depressing times. Thirty percent of the valley has fallen ill with malaria, and families are struggling to survive on as little as one hundred dollars per year. The land has been sucked dry from farming, and the living conditions are deplorable. These issues will be resolved with the creation of the Tennessee Valley Administration. We need to make the most of what we have and take advantage of all of the natural resources the United States possesses. Since we can no longer effectively make use of the land in the Tennessee Valley, dams will be placed along the riverside in the Tennessee Valley region. This will allow us to harness the power of the water and use it for our benefit. We will use this power to fuel electricity. The electricity will be used for appliances to make everyone's lives easier, and farms will be more productive. Building these dams will not be easy, so there will be a great need for a large work force. This will create much needed jobs for those of you who are unemployed. Not only will the Tennessee Valley Administration provide electricity and jobs, but it will also provide flood control, navigation, fertilizer manufacturing for the over-worked land, and economic development. This will modernize the region's economy and society and have a positive overall effect on the nation's economy. We are going to rebuild the United States' economy one step at a time. It might take a while before we reach the top again, but the TVA will be vital in accomplishing our goal. Stay positive, America. We will recover from this crisis, just as we have done in the past. ======

The TVA was created on May 18, 1933, during the Great Depression. It modernized the Tennessee Valley region and helped to resolve the economic problems in the area. The TVA taught farmers ways to improve crops and helped replant forests, controlled forest fires, developed  fertilizers, and improved habitat for fish and wildlife. It also created more jobs. Workers were needed to build dams, and industries were drawn to the Tennessee Valley area. ======

The TVA is still a very reliable program with a 99.999% dependability. It has created and continues to follow through with its Clean Air Program in order to fight against pollution. The TVA is also improving the efficiency of its hydro plants. The Tennessee Valley Administration continues to help the nation today by providing power and energy for the Tennessee Valley area.======
