Absence had not made the congressional heart any fonder of the Carter energy program. The more members scrutinized it, the less they seemed to like it. Flaws were beginning to show through the rhetoric. Especially vulnerable was the $88 billion synthetic fuel plan. The House had already passed a much reduced version of the President's ambitious proposal, and Senator Scoop Jackson, chairman of the Energy Committee, was readying a bill of his own.

"Poppycock," snorts McLean, adding that a report due to be released soon by Alan Nairn, a Ralph Nader employee, will show ETS is able to absorb the cost increases and a lot more. "We just don't believe they have any justification," Arty Malkin, a NYPIRG lobbyist, says. The Nairn report, five years in the writing, may also shed light on some other areas of the ETS operation, including some of the more basic questions about the adequacy of the exams...
