Acceptable ways to hasten the substitution of coal for oil

OSTI ID:5809487
The President's Commission on Coal held two days of hearings and undertook a study of the means, costs, and benefits of stemming oil imports through increased coal use. The Commission says that current policies, at best, will only slow the growth in oil imports so that by 1990 they will be at 9 million barrels per day. The Commission recommends a program of actions involving both the direct use of coal and the creation of a synthetic fuels industry to decrease oil imports 1.3 million barrels per day or 16% by 1985 and 4.5 million barrels per day or 50% by 1990.
