No Blackout
The U.S. can stop worrying about an electric power shortage slowing down the war effort, G.E. President Charles E. Wilson said last week. Already power potential has been upped 10%, more plants are being built, and "The increased capacity, plus new interconnecting links with existing sources, will more than meet the country's power needs."
He added a strategic statistic: G.E. alone has generating equipment orders on hand for 19,000,000 h.p. If none of this power were for Navy and other marine power plants, it would mean that G.E. alone is working on a 34% increase in U.S. steam and hydroelectric capacity, which was last reported as 55,800,000 h.p.
