Public benefits of public power. [Booklet]
The principal characteristics and benefits of public power are described using a question and answer format. The book begins by defining public power, describing its history, and confirming that people have a right to choose. The answers to questions about the benefits of public power are grouped under three major headings: rates, local control; economic and political benefits; and power supply and consumption. Establishing community public systems is hard work, requiring a progression through local government authorization, legal and financial analyses, public persuasion, voter approval, and a bond issue. Electric utility statistics show that local public systems outnumber all other types of ownership. (DCK)
