Shortage of Nonsense Promotes Consumption Over Conservation
The writer criticizes government and utility stance on energy shortage. Instead of urging reduced use, Nebraska Public Power District promotes more generating plants and greater electricity consumption. A Columbus banquet funded by NPPD celebrated industry and urged all-electric homes, fueling public skepticism about shortages. The piece condemns spending and consumption as patriotism, lampooning tax rebates and electric purchases as sacrifice.
