The U.S. Federal Energy Office believes a house bill advocating stripmining regulations would seriously cut existing coal production and also remove base amounts of coal reserves from future production. The National Coal Association agrees. The coalition against strip mining also opposes present legislation because the group feels the proposed coal mining strategy does not go far enough. The electric power plant industry, although apparently concerned with reclamation practices, generally emphasizes the need to extract coal. Legislators basically agree that the coal industry can afford the cost of land reclamation, should cease fighting fair standards, and should get on with the problems of energy development. (1 table)
