...dismay over Carter and his most recent actions runs the gamut of society. Florian Keen, 57, a setup man at a Davenport, Iowa, pump factory where he doubles as chairman of U.A.W. Local 1442's political action committee, said, "I'm real bothered." Though he wears a green and white Carter button, Keen said, "I'd lose an election if I were running for local office and was seen wearing this button. That's how unpopular Carter...
...litany of Western complaints goes back to the beginning of the Carter presidency-the "hit list" of Western water projects, the increasing intrusion of the federal bureaucracy on state and local laws, the general view that the Carter Administration is bent on creating an "energy sewer'' in the West for the greater benefit of the Eastern seaboard...

Thus, the toughest environmental battles will probably rage in Colorado and other shale-rich Western states, which have generally strict pollution-control laws. There will also be local resistance to coal gasification and liquefaction plants because they pollute the air with fumes from burning and lead to a noisy, dust-spewing increase in rail traffic to bring in the coal. On the other side, labor unions and various local groups will be eager to attract synfuel plants-particularly in Appalachia-because...
