LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Seminole. Texas
July 24. iy86
Dear Editor
1 have just read with interest
the contribution ot Richard
Watts and his Wall Street
Journal article in your "End
column on July 23 The
implication that Congress sets
electric rates and aiiows
“surplus” power plants to tx*
built makes one wonder alx>ut
the credibility of those who
endorse and promote such
thinking
Electric rates in Texas
incorporated cities are regulated
by the Texas Utility Commission
and by the cities themselves 1'he
feds, so far. thank God. have
nothing to do w ith this procedure
To my retired knowledge,
electric companies must justify
to and receive from l 11111>
Commissions a permit to build
new generating stations In some
cases, utility stockholders, not
customers, pick up the tali when
poor planning, negiligence, or
excessive costs entered the
picture
We don't know Harlows
definition of “surplus plants or
how he arrived at the $15 million
a year figure as a cost to rate
payers, but it is probably no
more than we taxpayers have
been out through E 1) I C in

profession and its dirty linens
