Congress rejected President Carter's proposed Energy Mobilization Board (EMB) because of political concerns and misgivings about encroaching on states' rights and weakening environmental policies. The EMB was conceived as a mechanism to keep regulatory delays from stopping important energy projects. Its justification was based on a need to bring balance into the competing goals of energy development and environmental protection by enforcing decision schedules and limiting judicial review. The environmental and constitutional implications of a forced trade-off and questions about the EMB's potential for making any real difference in lead time suggest that Congress might do better to focus on special procedures for specific projects. 141 references.
