Jobs and energy work together. Ilk.-B iz Al ® 'i i b a.\a\Kt a OR] m jb That’s good to know! Energy is the muscle of our economy. It’s the most important ingredient for jobs, productivity and progress. That s why if we re to regain our industrial vitality and increase employment, we re going to need more energy. So, it s essential that we plan and build now for the future. We know it’s costing more; but we’ve got to stay ahead of your energy requirements as well as the needs of industries, businesses and farms. Conservation alone won’t do it. Granted, nobody likes paying higher prices, but higher priced —— energy is better than an unstable or inadequate energy supply. At NIPSCO, we re doing our best to provide energy to protect everyone’s job today and help Wffiß create more jobs for tomorrow. That s good to know.
