1970 Annual Fall Meeting, October 4–7, 1970 - Houston, TX I appreciate very much the invitation to address this meeting today and to talk about nuclear power. I would like to make a few points about nuclear power — such as why we must move ahead with the power — such as why we must move ahead with the development of this energy source — and then discuss my subject in terms of kilowatts and dollars and cents. There are several very compelling reasons why the continued development of nuclear power is of the greatest importance to this nation. The first and most obvious reason is that our utilities urgently need additional capacity on their systems. Our electrical energy crisis was dramatically brought home to millions of people this year on the last day of summer when the entire east coast found itself in the throes of a massive brownout stretching from New England to South Carolina over to Ohio.
