Dan DeLong said centralized control skews training toward urban classrooms, neglecting rural needs and leaving many jobs uncreated. Thomas Erixon noted lower unemployment since state take over, but rural areas still face concerns.

Power pool expands study to include small hydro plants
The Nebraska Municipal Power Pool expands its power supply study to examine small hydroelectric feasibility. The study, led by H. Steve Wacker, will start late this year and finish in October 1978 and will assess pooling generation resources and joint plant construction. George Beyer cites Blue River unit series as potentially attractive and notes Crete's two aging hydro units may not suffice. A Congress bill offers 900% federal funds for hydro investigations and loans.
