J. B. Thomas, president of Tex-
as Electric Service Co., Fort
Worth, and the voice of private
utilities spread across Texas, calls
the BRA's six - dam project
"uneconomical." "untenable" and
"unjustifiable."
In short, he said, the powe:
companies can build steam gen
eiatintr capacity for the dams' I
"iINi.ihhi kilowatt output for I e s s j I
than one third of the ilSl million i
BRA project.
Thomas, whose companies, un '
der the BRA plan, would help fi |
nance the chain of dams in West
I'entral Texas by buying the pow-
er output for 50 years, cites en-
gineering reports to show, princi-
pally.
Loss on Power Sale
1. The power to be produced
would cost the electric companies
flritio per kilowatt per year but
would be worth only putting
a burden on power company cus-
tomers
"J. The dams would consume
more power than they could pro-
duce because the BRA's unique
"pump - back" plan to use the
same water over and over again
to produce power consumes TO per
i-ent more energy than it produces
or 1.7 times as much fuel as steam
generation.
.'i. Water flow in the Brazos is
declining with a consequent de-
cline in power potentialities, be-
caus." upstream users are divert-
ing more w-ater for agricultural
and other projects.
4. Present reservoirs on the
Brazos, if operated for water con-1
servation storage and not as pow-
er projects, could supply as much
'water downstream now as'would
