Remember when?
Remember when there was no electric air conditioning to make those
sweltering summer days...and nights...more bearable? Ice boxes didn’t
make ice cubes. The phonograph was wound by hand. Hundreds of electric
appliances were yet to be invented.
Today, dozens of conveniences, comforts and pleasures in your home are
made possible by electricity, and the per-unit cost of TP&L residential
electric service is about one-fourth as much as it was 40 years ago.
