Book ·
OSTI ID:5493985
This report discusses recent developments in subnational severance taxes on coal and uranium in the Sunbelt states (Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia) and presents a brief evaluation of the likely impact of these taxes both on residents of energy-importing states and upon national energy aims in general. We have assumed that federal government objectives concerning the role of coal and uranium in satisfying future energy needs will continue to be those detailed in the October 1978 compromise energy package enacted by Congress and signed by President Jimmy Carter and outlined by the president in a series of energy policy pronouncements in 1979 and 1980.
