<br />hour he buys from the storage project. An adder of <br />sufficient size to payoff the re:stored projects. All <br />of this extra cost the power co~sumer would incur just <br />for the privilege of receiving piower over the utilities' <br />system. <br /> <br />'I <br /> <br />The choice should be obvious. Let me prove why we believe <br />these statements to be true. <br /> <br />We'll pick off for further examination the upper portion of this <br />chart representing the operations of the all-,Bureau transmission <br />system. <br /> <br />CHART VI <br /> <br />The figures in this chart represent current estimates for this <br />system. The colors have the same meaning as in the previous explana- <br />tion. In the last 55 years of the study an all-Bureau transmission system <br />will produce, at an estimated overall delivered power cost of 6 mills per <br />kilowatt hour, $357,714,000 plus $31, 014, OpO or $388,728,000 for pay- <br />out of storage project irrigation allocations iand for participating projects. <br />This plan produces greatest net revenues and delivers power at the least <br />cost. <br /> <br />CHAR T VII <br /> <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />On the other hand a corresponding chart showing operations of the <br />transmission systems under the Utilities' p~an discloses a total genera- <br />tion of dollars for assistance to water proje~ts, the orange portion'again, <br />of $134,842,000. That's a quarter of a billion dollars less than the all- <br />Bureau system produces. Please note the large grey area- -The utility <br />wheelingcha rges. <br /> <br />CHAR T VIII <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />, <br />All states are represented at this meeting. This chart shows what <br />each of you can lose in participating project! money if you accept, or'are <br />forced to accept the Utilities' proposal to the Secretary fora combination <br />utility and bureau transmission system. This is one measure of your cost <br />for being willing to give upa substantial portion of your desired projects. <br />And, this isn't the whole story either. Our studies show, if the utilities' <br />proposal is accepted, not only would you lose a quarter of a billion dollars <br />for water projects. --You'd be paying attheisame time a quarter of a bil- <br />lion dollars more for storage project power, received through the utilities' <br />system. <br /> <br />- 8 - <br />
