Electricity from the Sun?
The basic technology for utilizing solar energy has
existed for some time. In fact, simple systems for heating
water and even heating and cooling homes are in
operation today. However, such systems are extremely
expensive, low in efficiency and usually cannot be relied
upon without a “back-up" system.
Producing electricity by harnessing the energy of the sun,
wind, tides and other “exotic" sources is under intensive
research being conducted by the electric industry and the
Federal government’s Energy Research and Development
Administration. Millions of dollars and the efforts of many
scientists and engineers are committed to the task, but
the crucial problem is converting energy from these
sources to electric power at a price people can afford.
Economical, efficient, large-scale production is many
years away.
Since 1971, Texas Power & Light Company has been
reducing its dependence on costly and scarce natural gas
and oil by building and operating generating plants which
use lower cost lignite coal. An abundant supply of this
coal is available for operating these plants.
TP&L and two other electric companies are also building
a nuclear power plant. The first unit of this plant is
scheduled to go into operation in 1980 and the second
in 1982.
We’re working to assure all TP&L customers a
dependable supply of electricity. Today, this is being done
with proven methods and reliable sources of energy, but
we’re looking to the long-range future, too.
The Fourth of July was
the date most farmers of
olden times shot for in get-
ting their crops “laid by”.
For a few days then they
could do as they pleased.
July was the time when
the “Protracted Meetings”
were held, and everybody
attended. The “Big Meet-
