Energy: A Look Ahead

Our energy future is just around the corner, and Con Edison is working hard to prepare for it.

Energy supply is very tight in our area, but it is sufficient to meet our needs this year. However, energy usage continues to grow. To meet that demand in 2003 and beyond, more power plants will be needed to produce the energy that Con Edison delivers to you.

Under deregulation, we’ve sold most of our power plants, and now focus our business on delivering your energy efficiently at the lowest possible rates. In fact, Con Edison’s delivery rates have steadily decreased over time, saving our customers about $2.6 billion by 2005.

Con Edison has invested $533 million this year and committed a total of $3.2 billion over the next five years to maintain and upgrade our transmission and delivery system. Independent industry experts confirm that Con Edison has the most reliable electric delivery system in the country.

We can all use energy wisely every day to save money year-round and to prepare for our energy future. Con Edison’s Everyday Energy-Saving Tips and Appliance Guide booklets can show you how to become your own best energy manager. For copies, call the Con Edison EnergyLine toll-free at 1-800-609-4488 or visit conEd.com.

As always, the 14,000 men and women of Con Edison work 24/7 to provide the high level of service that New Yorkers expect and deserve, and we’re proud to be part of the team that’s helping to rebuild the greatest city in the world.

For Barron’s arraignment, Hynes volunteered himself as pros- ecutor and critics began to question the propriety of having a party-selected judge prosecuted in Brooklyn by a district attorney with close ties to the county Democratic committee — already ensnared in scandals of cronyism and patronage — which plays no small part in the elevation of jurists to state Supreme Court.

BROOKLYN EVENTS CALENDAR: GO 2 Seitz Sharon Island hop The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings (718) 834-9350 • August 12, 2002 “The Other Islands of New York,” a documentary based on the 1996 book by Park Slope authors Sharon Seitz and Stuart Miller, airs Aug. 13 at 8 pm on WNET, channel 13. Four of New York City’s five boroughs are on islands but there are more than 30 others in the city’s waters. This new documentary includes interviews with Seitz and Miller about the islands’ obscure, fascinating and occasionally infamous histo- ries, residents (Mae West, Boss Tweed and “Grandpa” Al Lewis, among them) and wildlife. The hour-long documentary is poorly edited and in dire need of more footage of the islands as they look today, but it’s guaranteed to pique your interest — and maybe even inspire you to The acid hit the waters for a closer look. For instance, Broad Channel (pictured) in Jamaica Bay was formerly called “Little Cuba” in its heyday, referring to its speakeasies and summer lifestyle that mirrored Havana in the 1920s — making it a popular destina- tion for well-to-do New Yorkers during Prohibition.
