POWER SHORTAGE BY’78?
IS THE NORTHWEST
FACING AN ELECTRICITY
SHORTAGE?
I1W H U II1II1H IH IH H W
....... .. ...........................
You sure wouldn’t think so with all the
rain we’ve had this past winter. But
the facts say differently. This region
will be on the edge of an electric power
crisis the next five to six years. It all
depends on whether we get a normal
amount of yearly rainfall during that
period.
H o w come w e’re In a fix ? Con
struction schedules of coal and nuclear
powered steam-electric plants...in
this region... have been delayed. As a
result, projected electricity demand
will exceed sup j|y... if we have a bad
year for rain. I that happens, power
will be curtailec ... involuntarily. And a
„. ,.o_____
lot . of
lights wil go out.
W hat Is being done? New power
plants are either in construction or just
coming off the drawing boards. And
if the construction is kept on track...
by 1982-1983 the prospect of deficien
cies will have eased. If not... the prob
lem could be even worse. The only
thing standing between lights on and
lights o ff-fo r the next few y e a rs -la
enough rain, and a serious region
wide effort to conserve energy and use
it wisely. Needless to say...you'll be
hearing a lot more about this problem
in the months ahead.

Why? Worry about supplies of
natural gas and fuel oil may have
more people switching to electricity
for their power needs. One thing it
means for sure. Conservation of
electricity...and all energies is more
important now than ever before.
