Abstract
Central station power, Thomas Edison´s outstanding accomplishment, thus far has met the test of economic practicality and commercial success, but its relative economy and dependability in an ever-expanding industrial system presents one of the main problems of the postwar era. Additional problems are posed by the possibilities of atomic energy, although just how great a role it can play in the power generation field probably will not be determined for some time.
