Power Systems Conference Edmund O Schweitzer III Thank You for Participating

Samuel Insull, 1915:
“The greatest event that has taken
place in the last ten or fifteen years
in the local public-utility business is
the transfer of control and regulation
in most of the states from the state
legislatures to state commissions
which, besides exercising
administrative powers, are also
exercising semi-legislative and semijudicial
junctions. This change has
been of great economic significance
to the business of electricity
supply...”
“Industries grow up, usually, where power is cheap --
where coal or oil or gas is abundant or where waterpower
may be utilized economically.” -- Samuel Insull
