Mead, W J

The author broadly examines the major energy policy issues, namely: energy taxation, import quotas, price controls, energy resource conservation, oil transportation by tanker, oil storage for national security, and policies regarding competition. Mr. Mead points out that the survey of the government petroleum policy leads to dismal conclusions. He further concludes that new oil policies with respect to competition, transportation (extending the Jones Act plus enactment of a possible oil transport bill), and continued natural gas and crude oil price controls with allocations and entitlements promise only further distortion in resource allocation. 24 references.
