On the one hand, the widespread use of electricity led to the growth of new industries and the creation of new job opportunities, as well as improved quality of life and productivity. On the other hand, the electrification of America also had some environmental impacts, such as air pollution, water pollution, and temperature in cities increasing as a result of the amount of electricity being used thus making people use more electricity to cool themselves
