Long-term Debt, Unclassified [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt Instruments	Long-Term Debt Instruments On June 6, 2014, we filed with the SEC a combined debt and equity shelf registration statement that became effective on the same date. Unless otherwise specified at the time such securities are offered for sale, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used to finance capital expenditures, to repay outstanding short-term, unsecured notes under our unsecured commercial paper (CP) program, to refinance other indebtedness, to repurchase our common stock, to pay dividends and for general corporate purposes. We are subject to default provisions related to our long-term debt and short-term borrowings. Failure to satisfy any of the default provisions may result in total outstanding issues of debt becoming due. There are cross default provisions in all of our debt agreements.
