The United States industries used important sources of power to produce the number of goods that they needed to produce to have their products ready on a daily basis. Coal was much needed for some machines and for railroads. Trains used to work using coal. Oil deposits are abundant in some parts of the US territory and petroleum represented a new source of energy that made industries more efficient. And rivers and streams also create power.
