Distance makes a big difference in fuel costs. Unlike the Texas companies and other ^ utilities throughout the nation which are located near natural fuel sources, we are forced to import all our fuel — the most expensive single y<" item m our etectric power production — ay oarge or rail. The farther a company is from the source of its fuel, the greater the price it must pay. In 1948 transportation expenses on fuel we purchased amounted to about $3,500,000. Obviously, under the circumstances, it is unsound to compare New England power costs with any "national average" before adjusting for differences ^ in fuel costs which we cannot reduce.
