we're
at work
when the sun
goes
Lights begin to twinkle across the countryside.
Lamps light up farmyards, light streams from
the windows of houses, street lights wink on
in small towns. Rural American keeps on
working.
It wasn't always so. Before the rural electrifica-
tion program, rural areas were dark after sun-
down. The work went on, but by candlelight
and kerosene lamp.
Today, rural America lights up after sundown,
because small groups of tenacious, determin-
ed rural residents—farmers, shopkeepers,
retirees, teachers and preachers—formed
consumer-owned rural electric systems like
ours to bring electricity to the countryside. It
was tough work to turn on the lights in rural
America. It's still not easy and our job is far
from finished. We must upgrade and improve
lines, serve new consumers, repair and
replace equipment. But we'll keep work-
ing... even after the sun goes down.
