ELECTRICIYY MAY BE THE DRIVER. Ooe day your car may speed along an
electric super-highway, its speed and steering automatically controlled
by electronic devices embedded in the road. Highways will be made
safe—by electricity! No traffic jams... no collisions... no driver fatigue.
Power companies build
for your new electric living
Your air conditioner, television and other appliances are just
the beginning of a new electric age. '
Your food will cook in seconds instead of hours. Lamps
will cut on and off automatically to fit the lighting needs in
your rooms. Television "screens” will hang on the walls. An
electric heat pump will use outside air to cool your house in
summer, heat it in winter.
You will need and have much more electricity than you
have today.’ Right. now America’s more than 400 independent
electric light and power companies are planning and building
to have twice as much electricity for you by 1967. These
companies can have this power ready when you need it because
they don’t have to wait for an act of Congress—or for a cent
of tax money—to build the plants.
The same experience, imagination and enterprise that elec
trified the nation in a single lifetime are at work shaping your
electric future. That’s why in the years to come, as in the past,
you will benefit most when you are served by independent
companies like this one.
