Ellis T. Cox: pragmatist with a public conscience. [Power; environmental concerns of Potomac Electric Co. for Washington, DC area]
A profile of Potomac Electric Power Co. executive Ellis T. Cox EPRI Advisory Board member the obligation he feels for preserving the unique qualities of the Washington, D.C. area by installing power plant pollution equipment, burning low-sulfur coal, and setting an example of concern for other companies and the legislators. Cox feels a commitment to not only meet civic responsibilities, but to demonstrate that an efficient, cost-effective company can also protect the environment. He sets long-term fuel supplies as a high priority for utility research and development and sees no alternative to shifts away from petroleum and further development of nuclear generating power. His other concerns are for streamlining the regulatory process, demonstrating the Civex process as an alternative fuel cycle, and a continuation of the joint efforts of utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute to solve practical problems of pollution control and develop new fuels and new combustion technologies.
