Government energy and transportation policies could result in consumers paying higher electric bills and becoming more dependent on foreign oil because of the Staggers Rail Act, which helped to bring the railroad into a strong financial conditions. The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) claims to be balancing the needs of shippers, carriers, and the public, but has been erecting a new structure of regulation that denies captive shippers, such as coal-fired utilities, future protection from unrestrained monopolistic rate setting by railroads for coal transportation. Congress feels that the ICC has ignored the intent of the Staggers Act of ensuring competition as well as improving the economic health of the railroads.
