Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7097834
This publication establishes some basic data on Houston and energy, and then examines the possible impacts of energy shortages and rising energy prices on Houston's future economy, government, lifestyle, and general growth. The future is divided into 3 time periods; the near term (the next 5 to 10 years); the mid term (up to the year 2000); and far term (post-2000 era) and the consequences of energy supplies in each time period are examined. Actions on the part of Houston to forestall the problems named are summarized. These briefly stated include development of an infrastructure to handle coal; planning for the impact of possible shifts of growth patterns; and plans to encourage mass transit. (MCW)
