Bell plans steps to overturn PUC ruling on 1977 earnings
Bell Telephone officials outlined three options to nullify the Texas Public Utilities Commission decision that trimmed the company’s 1977 earnings. They may seek rehearing, appeal if unsatisfied, or file a new case. The PUC allowed $57.8 million in extra 1977 funds, far less than Bell proposed. Rogers said the action shocks and dismays the company, arguing costs to serve exceed charges. He criticized the commission’s decision as based on conjecture and emotion while noting long distance rates rose more than Bell asked. The company has 15 days to file for a rehearing and plans no immediate construction cuts.

Cheaper say advocates for nuclear viability despite rising costs
Philadelphia Electric vice president W. S. Boyer spoke at a 1976 Washington seminar arguing that despite higher capital and fuel costs, nuclear generation could still beat fossil plants overall. He cited potential $1,537 to $1,587 per kilowatt break-even costs and uranium price forecasts, with others noting rising capital costs due to regulation and construction delays.

Nuclear power costs in doubt as Comanche Peak estimates rise

False economy arguments on nuclear power costs questioned
The piece cites Harvard adviser Irvin C Bupp arguing that predicting lower future nuclear costs requires optimistic assumptions about nuclear and pessimistic views on coal. It references MIT studies, Austin cost debates, and figures on construction costs and capacity factors, warning that aging reactors and hidden costs could raise power bills by hundreds of billions by 1990.
