In the late 1930s and early 1940s, most rural people in North Dakota and the rest of the country lived without electricity. Investor-owned utilities (or IOUs) were convinced it was too expensive to build lines to farms and ranches, and therefore, they certainly couldn't make any money by serving rural areas. The IOUs declined to run power lines to the countryside, leaving rural folks in the dark.
