Abstract
Measurements of cosmic ray directional properties at about 10(15) eV i n both northern and southern hemispheres confirm that those particles have a unidirectional anisotropy and are flowing along the direction o f our spiral arm from the inner Galactic regions. On the basis of diff usive cosmic ray flow along the Galactic arms, the power required for the Galaxy to maintain this how is below 10(30) W.
