	Public Lighting in Relation to Public Ownership and Operation
		The member of this Association who, by good service, by close figuring of expenses and of profits, and by clear statements and logical arguments, convinces the authorities of his own city that it is to their interest to leave their public lighting in his care, has done all of us a service.
		That a municipality may properly provide for public lighting either by the ownership and operation of an electric lighting plant, by the operation of a contractor under lease of a municipally owned plant, or by contract with the owner of a private plant.
		That the performance of public lighting under contract by a private plant in connection with the supply of electric light to private users is essentially the method of least expense.

	Regulatory Reform in the Electric Power Industry
		Although the National Grid Company (the transmission system) is owned by the 12 regional electric companies (local distribution systems), the charges for the wires of both are subject to ceiling price caps.
		The United Kingdom launched a denationalized competitive structure for electric power in early 1991 when the Crown's nonnuclear generation capacity was sold to private companies.
		In electric power we are, and should be, talking about the development of a property-rights system—rights to inject or withdraw power, rights of transmission access, rights to invest and to claim the benefits (and incur the losses) that accrue to such investment.

	Egyptian Electric Cooperative Association
		In 1923, the National Electric Light Association formed the Committee on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture.
		So, technically, the correct answer to "Who is responsible for bringing electricity to your area?" should be "The dedicated member-owners who took the initiative in 1938 to form Egyptian Electric Cooperative Association.".
		The electric cooperatives were urged to enter the appliance business and many formed power use departments to help wire member homes and farms so they could use the appliances and equipment.

	The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla
		The ideal way of lighting a hall or room would, however, be to produce such a condition in it that an illuminating device could be moved and put anywhere, and that it is lighted, no matter where it is put and without being electrically connected to anything.
		Mechanical and Electrical Oscillators, August 25, 1893, before a meeting of the International Electrical Congress at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
		The light effect is, however, considerably increased by the use of phosphorescent bodies such as yttria, uranium glass, etc. A difficulty will be found when the phosphorescent material is used, for with these powerful effects, it is carried gradually away, and it is preferable to use material in the form of a solid.

	Edison: His Life and Inventions - a 1929 book by Dyer and Martin
		In fact, for some years past the presidents of the National Electric Light Association have been chosen almost exclusively from among the managers of the great Edison lighting companies in the leading cities.
		Thus in a curious manner the modern art of electric lighting was in a very true sense divided against itself, with intense rivalries and jealousies which were none the less real because they were but temporary and occurred in a field where ultimate union of forces was inevitable.
		But the growing popularity of incandescent lighting, the flexibility and safety of the system, the ease with which other electric devices for heat, power, etc., could be put indiscriminately on the same circuits with the lamps, in due course rendered the old attitude of opposition obviously foolish and untenable.

	Electric Avenues: Why "Open Access" Can't Compete
		Electricity has been called the "last and biggest of the country's regulated monopolies."(71) While that's debatable, given the size of the U.S Postal Service and the nation's public education infrastructure, electricity certainly plays a central role in our industrial society.
		If electric utilities were natural monopolies and state regulation had curbed their economic power, electricity rates should have declined and the quantity of power supplied should have increased.
		In the electricity industry, for example, the conventional wisdom is that regulatory oversight was established by governments to protect customers from abuse at the hands of exploitative utility monopolies.

	Light Pollution Authority Home Page - www.darksky.org
		This depends on the ability and experience of the observer, the state of dark adaptation of the observer, the sky brightness due to light pollution from electric lights and natural sources such as the Moon, and the clarity of the sky.
		Abstract:Many electrical engineers and contractors,architects, and lighting engineers cause light pollution simply because they do not think about it.
		Reducing light pollution is not difficult, but it does require that public officials and ordinary citizens be aware of the problem and act to counter it.

	National Electric Drag Racing Association - News
		Although several electric vehicles (EVs) have surpased the 100 mph mark including Bill Dube's Killacycle at 152 mph and Dennis Berube's Dragster at 137 mph, racing a street legal EV to over 100 mph has been an elusive goal.
		Marko Mongillo arrived at around 4:00 in his super hip 'Fiamp' electric Fiat 600, and found one of the many EV outlets to plug into so his green machine could get a full charge while we worked on the race car.
		With the parking lights on and various 12V items running, the 0-15V panel gauge was right at 15V.

		Charles Brush began his electrical career in America at the famous "Telegraph Supply Company" and after convincing his superiors of the importance of electric lighting over telegraph, he became a major influence in the early electric arc lighting industry.
		At first Brush Electric had little success with their acquired rights to the Lane-Fox incandescent lamp patents, as a result, Charles focused his attention on the Swan lamp filament which Joseph Swan had diligently perfected.
		With the advent of incandescent lighting, Brush turned his industrial attention away from arc lighting and toward the newer, promising incandescent light.

	I Looked and I Listened -- Aylesworth extract
		But as managing director of the National Electric Light Association, he had proved himself to be a first-rate executive and had gained the friendship of political and financial leaders throughout the country.
		But he was just as enthusiastic when he spoke of the cultural and educational programs for which he was responsible: Dr. Walter Damrosch's "Music Appreciation Hour," "The National Farm and Home Hour" (the first great agricultural series of radio) and the broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera Company.
		One of the first fruits of Deac's efforts was the gala opening at Carnegie Hall, on the night of February 18, 1927, of the Cities Service program, which is now radio's oldest sponsored network show.

	Power: A Living Newspaper, by Arthur Arent
		Commerford Martin, Chairman of the Progress Committee of the National Electric Light Association, reports to the convention.
		Electric light and power are falling far short of the ideal in reaching only one-sixth of the population of any given territory.
		It is to be feared that the public and too many utility companies still regard electric light as a luxury, and the electric motor as costly, and electric heat quite out of reach.
