There will be no need for the United States to place <br /> <br />~~y restriction upon the use of units or dictate their operation <br /> <br />i~ any respect so long as the operation is not unsafe or hazardous <br /> <br />to life and property. <br /> <br />Secondary Energy <br /> <br />The existing contracts and the studies on which they were <br /> <br />based asswned the availability of c8rtain quantities of falling <br /> <br />water, and hence of salable energy, additional to those constitut- <br /> <br />ing the assumed continuous or "firm" supply; and which on account <br /> <br />of lack of continuity were termed secondary energy. <br /> <br />While the probable availability of this class of energy was <br /> <br />realized and provision was made in the contracts for its disposition <br /> <br />at a certain charge, there was no obligation on the part of the <br /> <br />Government to make it available or on the part of the allottees to <br /> <br />take and/or pay for it. <br /> <br />The information submitted at the recent hearings also <br /> <br />indicates that substantial quantities of secondary energy will <br /> <br />be available, but that the same difficulties are encountered in <br /> <br />forecasting exactly occurrence and e^~ent as in the case of firm <br /> <br />energy and for the same reasons. In addition the forecast of <br /> <br />revenue to be derived from this source is limited by the ability <br /> <br />of the market to utilize secondary energy and by transmission- <br /> <br />line capacity to such market. <br /> <br />However, the weight of evidence supports our conclusion that <br /> <br />considering the 50-year period as a whole, 40,000,000,000 kw-hr. <br /> <br />11 <br />
