摘要

进步主义时代是美国承上启下的时代,因此对20世纪后的美国发展产生了长久而深远的影响。进步时代所产生的资源保护主义思想对美国环保运动发展产生了重要作用,而在这种思想的指导下为了合理开发水电而成立的联邦电力委员会也同样发挥着很重要的作用。在进步主义时期,联邦电力委员会由于不是专门机构而且人员多为别处借调,很难履行职责;在20世纪30年代之后,联邦电力委员会成为了独立的机构并且职权范围也得到了扩大,但由于受资源保护主义思想指导以及为应对电力短缺问题,联邦电力委员会往往采取了唯电力利益至上的水电开发原则,而忽视或轻视其他非电力价值;但随着现代环保运动的兴起,20世纪60年代中期后,联邦电力委员会逐渐转向了兼顾多种用途开发。1977年联邦电力委员会转变为联邦能源管理委员会对当今美国电力开发中仍发挥着重要作用。因此,进步主义运动对美国水电开发产生了深远的影响。

Abstract

The Progressive Era was a pivotal period of transition in American history, exerting a long-standing and profound influence on the country’s development throughout the 20th century and beyond. The ideology of conservationism emerging from this era played a crucial role in the evolution of the American environmental movement. Under the guidance of this ideology, the Federal Power Commission (FPC) was established to ensure the rational development of hydropower, occupying a significant position in federal administration. During the Progressive Era, the FPC struggled to fulfill its mandates as it was not yet an independent specialized agency and relied heavily on personnel seconded from other departments. After the 1930s, the FPC was reorganized into an independent regulatory body with expanded jurisdiction. However, driven by conservationist tenets and the need to address power shortages, the Commission often adopted a "power-supremacy" principle in hydropower development, prioritizing electricity generation while marginalizing or neglecting non-power values. With the rise of the modern environmental movement in the mid-1960s, the FPC gradually shifted toward a "multi-purpose" development approach. In 1977, the FPC was succeeded by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which continues to play a vital role in contemporary U.S. energy development. In conclusion, the Progressive Movement has left a deep and enduring imprint on the trajectory of hydropower development in the United States.
