Today electric power provides 25% of the nation's energy By the year 2000( it will be providing 50%. With this growing demand, you can see why we have to be years ahead in our planning. As for building, it takes at least five years from date of approval to build a coal-burning plant. A nuclear plant can take ten years. Or even longer. And there's not only time involved; there's money At today's prices, we can't build either a coal or nuclear plant for less than $460 million. And, when we have to spend money building plants, eventually it means higher costs for your electricity. That's why it will pay both us and you to do everything we can to hold the demand for electricity as low as possible. By avoiding the summer "Peak Load" hours of 10 AM to 10 PM. By keeping your air conditioner at the highest possible comfort setting. By insulating a home properly The full story on what you can do to save on your electric bills is free at any CP&L office. Pick up a copy soon. Because the longer we wait now, the | harder it will be to do anything about it later.
