VII. Consider that development of a major market for 

 Solar Voltaic Unit Generators in new Interface 

 Substations operating in the Pacific Northwest can 

 obviate Department of Energy RiD Programs such as fine- 

 tuning the knowledge of terrestrial solar insolation 

 and continuing the PV Cell and Module efficiency race. 



VIII. Consider the role SOLAR VOLTAIC GENERATION 

 can play in continuing and renewing the Bonneville 

 Promise of sixty years ago:- 



This vast power can be of incalculable value to 

 this whole section of the country. It means cheap 

 manufacturing production, economy and comfort on 

 the farm and the household. The St. Lawrence 

 River in the Northeast, Muscle Shoals in the 

 Southwest, the Boulder Dam project in the 

 Southwest and finally, but by no means least 

 of them, the Columbia River in the Northwest 



And from there, my friends, in each of the 



four quarters of the United States, there will 

 exist forever a National yardstick to prevent 

 extortion against the public and to encourage 

 the wider use of that servant of the American 

 people electric power.

CONCLUSION 



Thank you for this opportunity to present the case for 

 large-scale SOLAR VOLTAIC GENERATION in the Pacific
