SOME “GUARDIAN ANGELS*
LOOK A LITTLE
DIFFERENT
And some of them, such as this one, have
unusual names. Electrostatic precipitator. It’s a
protective guardian of the air you and your
children breathe—a complex, mechanical
giant being installed at Texas Power & Light
Company’s new lignite-fueled generating
plants to safeguard the quality of the air—
and your environment.
But it’s only one of the guardian measures
TP&L uses. Soil is reclaimed at lignite plants
by sodding beneficial grasses in areas where
lignite has been produced. TP&L also conducts
water and aquatic life studies in its power
plant reservoirs to find better ways to preserve
(and enhance) the quality of both. Even new
substations are being designed to be
eye-pleasing.
As your needs for electricity continue to grow,
TP&L must also- but we do it with protective
concern for the environment.
