Light and Alabama Electric Cooperative
The Life of Powersouth
Have you ever known that feeling of waking up in the middle of the night, eyes barely cracked open and all you could see was darkness. NOT thinking of “Turn on the lights!” Do you know the feeling of having to watch a candle flame go until the wax puddle takes over the form of the candle. Yes, i know what its like to be without light. My name is Ruby Jewel. I lived in Lower South Alabama in 1941. For the longest I had no light whatsoever. I just couldn't wait until that day where light would be my new friend. I knew it would be here soon. I just had that feeling in my gut. When my lights were on for the first time of my life, off course i didn't know what this thing was glowing out. I was young and not very sure. The first thought in my was “Oh, thats just another type of candle, until my mother told me otherwise. I'm older now, and I'm much more smarter. Ever since that light ever first turned on, it became a very nice friend to me. i do everything under this special light. I eat, sit , write, read, clean, etc. I still live in this same little town under the name of Andalusia, and my light are still powered the same way. It all started when a couple of representatives from cooperatives in Alabama decide to come together and start an organization. The organization was all about building it own generating facilities and selling electricity to their cooperatives. First known as Alabama Electric Cooperative, better known as AEC. They change their name to Powersouth on January 1, 2001, to better reflect themselves. They generate power then distribute to their fellow cooperatives. Powersouth is a generating and transmission cooperative, which is shortened to G&T. Electricity you see, did become one of my many friends. Until i get so tired and weary from being seen all day, i just want to hide into the darkness. Thats to the point where i flip my little switch, and the light has becomes my catharsis because the light is no more. That is
