Passive Solar Folder Offered
Plot off the press is PGE's new passive
solar folder which is full of information
on how to catch the sun and make it
work for you in your home.
Passive solar systems in build
ings and residences go be
yond conventional energy
conserving features such as
insulating, double glazing
and weatherstripping. These
sunshine systems use the
building, the site and landscape design to
collect, store and transfer solar heat to pro
duce energy savings well beyond those
found in conventional energy conserving
homes. The folders are available at all PGE
offices free of charge.
Trojan Providing 50
Of PGE Customer Needs
During Low-Water Period
The Trojan nuclear generating plant has
been operating very well and during July
had a total net output of more than 668
million kilowatt hours w hile operating at a
capacity factor of 83 2 percent. In August
the plant has continued to operate at near
or full power, supplying up to 50 percent of
the needs of the company's 470,000 cus
tomers during the low water period.
Pressure Cookers Are Back
You are realizing substantial energy
and time savings over conventional
:epan cooking when the
little round gauge on
top of the pressure
cooker does its little
, I .", a .ml , t ) rl. I,,..
- iino im:ill streams of
steam. Pressure
cookers have been
around a long time, but now
they're making a come-back as time and
energy savers. Not only do they cut cooking
time as much as one-third to one-half, but
they tenderize the less expensive cuts of
meat all this with 26 to-42 less energy.
U.S. Senate Passes
Northwest Power Bill
A power bill that places emphasis on con
servation, provides rate relief for residential
and small farm customers of investor
owned electric utilities, such as PGE, and
creates a governors' council to guide the
future of energy in the Northwest was
passed by the U.S. Senate in early August. It's
an important first step toward lower power
costs for residential and rural customers.
The bill will go to the House in the next few
weeks for consideration. Of the bill, Senator
Mark Hatfield told the Senate: " w ithout any
doubt, I predict (the legislation) will be
viewed in the future as the most important
bill ever to have affected the Pacific North
west." PGE agrees. Write your U.S. Con
gressman and urge his support.
What You Don't Know
Can Hurt You
With more and more utility lines being
placed underground especially in new
residential developments it's a good and
safe idea to know what you're getting into
before you start digging drainage ditches or
fence holes, for example. Electric cables
could be buried without warning signs and
digging into them could mean unnecessary
and expensive service interruptions or
worse it could hurt you. We surely don't
want that to happen. If you have under
ground service in your area, call your
nearest PGE office before digging it's
better to be safe than sorry.
PGE's Speakers Available
to Clubs, Groups
Looking for a
program for your
service or social
club? PGE has a
number of knowl
edgeable speakers in
its Speakers' Bureau
who are available to pre
sent a wide assortment of subjects, ranging
from energy conservation to zucchini freez
ing, for luncheon, dinner or evening meet
ings. To arrange for a speaker, a film or slide
presentation, program chairpersons are in
vited to call 226-8501 or write PGE Speak
ers' Bureau, 121 S.W. Salmon St., Portland,
OR 97204 for a folder describing the pro
grams that are available.
