OSTI ID:6808868
While proposed energy taxes are designed to increase revenues, the 13 witnesses to a hearing on these proposals noted a variety of implications to some of the proposals. Their responses suggest the need for a comprehensive tax policy to ensure that the desired effects are achieved. Among the suggestions is a more-equitable replacement for the windfall profits tax, the resolution of conflicting goals in energy-conservation and economic-recovery policies, and the use of taxes as an economic-policy tool. Additional statements and letters submitted for the record follow the testimony. (DCK)
