Water power saves coal in 1926 in Maine and nation
Water power reduced coal use by 167 424 tons in Central Maine Power Co stations in 1926, with nationwide savings about 25 million tons. Geological Survey notes lower efficiency in New England, due to small plants, while larger plants cut coal per kilowatt hour. Maine may risk higher imports if water powers are not developed.
