Producing power is a gigantic battle with
nature. The windmill produces enough
power to pump water from the ground-
something a few watts of electricity can do.
But the huge generating plants which pro-
duce the power transmitted over the vast
network of WTU transmission lines which
reach from the Red River to the Rio Grande
are measured in kilowatts—hundreds of
thousands of them. Power enoughto serve
166 cities and towns in 50 West Texas
counties. You can live better electrically-
