America’s rural electrics are con-
cerned about the crisis in our cities.
It is a crisis made up of inadequate
facilities to meet the demands of a
swelling population, created in great
part by the migration of people from
the countryside to the city. Many
electric power systems have failed to
keep pace with increasing demands,
and this contributes to the urban
crisis.
Anothef electric power blackout is
the last thing the people in cities
need this summer But once again
many of them will hold their breath
as the demand for electricity rises
with the temperature.
This recurring summertime elec
trie power crisis destroys the myth
that America has an over-abundance
of electricity, readily available when
ever and wherevi r needed.
We need all the electric power that
can lie generated by all suppliers
commercial, public and cooperative
and the kind of high-capacity
transmission system that will in
stantly put the power where it's
needed
This summer, dependable electric
power may lie more important than
ever in averting another crisis in
our cities.
