Thank God It Wasn't Snowing
Rain, rain don’t go away,
give us a little shower today.
A little for the wheat, a little
for the cow. Just a little rain
will do for right now.
Just a little so we can all
keep on going. Just a little so
things will keep on growing.
Just a little for now. We
don't want it to keep on pour-
ing. But thank God it wasn’t
snowing.

We don’t intend to leave the
next generation with a generation gap.
In the years ahead, these youngsters will need
enough electricity for their homes, jobs, schools
and hospitals—and to take care of the environment.
At the same time, the availabilitv of the basic
fuels used to run our generating plants — natural
gas and oil — will continue to decline
That's why at Texas Electric were starting to
use other fuels, to decrease our dependence on
natural gas and oil.
Were already adding lignite coal plants to our
sy stem. And were planning a nuclear plant near
Glen Rose for the I980's.
One advantage of using lignite and nuclear
fuels is that neither is being used extensively for any
purpose other than the generation of electricity.
But plants that use these fuels eost a lot more
than gas/oil plants.
While this means electricilv u ill have to cost
more in the future, the cost won't be as mueh with
lignite and nuclear fuels as it would be with natural
gas and oil. even if adequate new supplies were
available.
Were continuing the orderlv development of
our power system, because we don't intend to leave
the next generation with a generation gap
