COAL. The Federal Energy Administration received a two-year extension (until June 30, 1977) of its authority to require power plants and other major fuel consumers to switch from scarce natural gas and oil to coal, which the country has in abundant supply. In addition, loan guarantees totaling $750 million were authorized for small coal operators to open new underground mines, which do less damage to the environment than surface mines; 80% of the loans will go to producers of less-polluting low-sulfur coal...
...southern terminus at Gravina Point, the gas would be liquefied by lowering its temperature to -260° F. and shipped in special tankers to Point Conception, Calif., near Santa Barbara. There the fuel would be heated back to a gas, then pumped into existing pipelines for distribution throughout the Southwest. This arrangement would reduce the Southwest's dependence on natural gas from Texas, which could then flow in greater quantities to gas-pinched homes and factories in the Midwest and the East...
...natural-resources industry." Some Wall Street analysts believe that the company may be particularly interested in Utah's uranium mining and processing operations. The merger with Utah would enhance GE's ability to sell profitable "turnkey" deals covering everything from the reactor to the atomic fuel to power-company customers...
...Stress agricultural development. Not only must the countryside help feed the nation, it must also provide savings to fuel future growth and be able to consume the goods produced by its developing industries. The poor countries should provide the small landholders with low-cost credit and technical help; the farmers must also be allowed to charge enough for their crops to give them the material rewards for increased output. Labor-intensive manufacturing, using simple machinery-perhaps even the spinning wheel advocated by India's Mohandas Gandhi-should be located in rural areas to use productively the vast armies...
