the throne, Parliament's support was necessary to govern the country. Parliament was dominated by two groups, one wanted to exclude Charles catholic brother from the throne and the others wanted him to the throne. However, as he was filling civil and military posts with Catholic while the Protestants were being murdered, Parliament was so angered that it invited the Protestant William of Orange and Mary (James II's daughter) to take the Crown. This Glorious Revolution (1688) was accompanied by a Bill of Rights, which made it obligatory for the sovereign to rule with Parliament's assistance and outlawed Catholicism for all Englishman, including the King. In 1707 the Act of Union united English and Scottish Parliaments. The last monarch of the Stuarts was Queen Anne. The House of Hanover At the beginning of the 18th century the English parliament asked George of Hanover, a Protestant descendant of James I, to become king
Hydropower is the second largest source of renewable energy consumption. Biomass and conventional hydroelectric power had the largest volumetric increases at 220 and 166 trillion Btu respectively, while wind energy consumption had the fastest annual rate of growth at almost 50 percent. The electric power sector continued to be the largest consumer of renewable energy in 2006 (55 percent of total), primarily due to the very large contribution of conventional hydroelectric power . The industrial sector was second (29 percent of the total), due to that sector's major consumption of wood and derived fuels. Geothermal and conventional hydropower played only minor roles in the industrial sector. The residential sector also consumed wood for space heating and solar energy for water heating and electricity. The commercial sector accounted for just 2 percent of total renewable energy consumption. The transportation sector was the fastest growing sector, consuming 40 percent
This non-profit trade association was founded in 1907, and is the oldest petroleum trade association in the United States. History Petroleum, in one form or another, has been used since ancient times, and is now important across society, including in economy, politics and technology. The rise in importance was due to the invention of the internal combustion engine, the rise in commercial aviation, and the importance of petroleum to industrial organic chemistry, particularly the synthesis of plastics, fertilizers, solvents, adhesives and pesticides. More than 4000 years ago, according to Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus, asphalt was used in the construction of the walls and towers of Babylon; there were oil pits near Ardericca (near Babylon), and a pitch spring on Zacynthus. Great quantities of it were found on the banks of the river Issus, one of the tributaries of the Euphrates. Ancient
The industrial revolution The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18th to 19th centuries, was a period during which predominantly agrarian, rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban. By mid-century, many people worked for small businesses or on farms, laboring in fields that would yield barely enough food to feed the family. New inventions and technology began to change that, however. Larger factories opened and produced new farm equipment, such as the steel plow and the tractor,

THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION The second half of the 18th century saw the start of the Industrial Revolution, a period in which many machines were invented and factories established which brought along significant changes in Britain and beyond. The Industrial Revolution was the key to the modern Western society it made the European working class and middle-class. By 1800 Britain was the most industrialised country in the world. Aided by revolutions in
for slavery, since cheap (slave) labor was needed to pick cotton. Later, the 20th century invention of the cotton-picker reduced the labor-intensive demands of cotton farming, and brought unemployment to many poor Southerners. By the late 1790s, Whitney was on the verge of bankruptcy and cotton gin litigation had left him deeply in debt. His New Haven cotton gin factory had burned to the ground, and litigation sapped his remaining resources. The French Revolution had ignited new conflicts between Great Britain, France, and the United States. The new American government, realizing the need to prepare for war, began to rearm. The War Department issued contracts for the manufacture of 10,000 muskets. Whitney, who had never made a gun in his life, obtained a contract in January, 1798 to deliver ten to fifteen thousand muskets in 1800. Ten months later, Treasury Secretary Wolcott sent him a "foreign pamphlet on arms manufacturing techniques," possibly one of
