Book ·
OSTI ID:5418992

The Energy Bureau announces the second annual executive briefing on the outlook for coal, an important program on a critical energy subject. The briefing was keynoted by Senator Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, chairman of the Committee on the Environment and Public Works, and chaired by Gerard C. Gambs, vice president, Fuels and Energy, Ford, Bacon and Davis. The briefing was particularly timely in view of the renewed interest in increasing the use of coal, our greatest fossil-energy resource. But there are major, little-realized obstacles to coal's growth, namely: legislative, financial, and transportation. This executive briefing focused on the real coal world, pricing, economics, finance, legislation and regulation, present and future, government policies, present and future, among others. It gathered together leading coal experts from government, industry, and finance to discuss this subject. The papers were abstracted and indexed separately.
