Abstract
THE Electricity Supply Bill, the text of which has now been published, contains no surprises. The framers of the Bill have kept two eminently desirable objects in view, namely, the utilisation to the best advantage of the heat generated by the combustion of coal and the cheapening of the supply of electrical energy in Great Britain for lighting and power to the consumer. The project if carried out will increase the value of coal and will prevent its waste. A cheap supply of electrical power ought to enable many of our export industries to compete successfully in the world's markets. The project, therefore, is of national importance and ought to be discussed from a national point of view. In all problems of this nature, however, the ‘human factor’ has to be considered.
