Past oil embargo left only scars
HOUSTON (AP) - Carl E Bagge says
the similarity between the oil embargo of
1973-74 and thU year’s petroleum shor-
tages U particularly distressing to the coal
industry. .
Bagge U the former federal power
commissioner who now U president of the
National Coal Association.
“Long before there was an oil embargo,
our industry questioned the wisdom of a
policy that ignored plentiful coal at the
expense of scarce petroleum and natural
gas resources,” Bagge said.
One of the few beneficial effecU of the oil
embargo, Bagge said, was its reminding
Americans they still have a vast domestic
coal resource that could provide nearly
limitless, secure supplies of energy.
“But as far as coal was concerned,
nothing happened,'1 he said. "In fact, the
federal constraints on coal have increased
in the intervening years, restraining the
growth of our current markets.”
During the 1970s, Bagge has said in
recent speeches, the coal industry has
listened to three successive adminis-
trations in Washington espouse the need
for expanded coal use.
“But we have never seen a single ef-
fective program to back up these exercises
in rhetoric," he said.
“And when there has been no govern-
ment support time after time, the public
has become more and more frustrated and
confused." ~
In the wake of the recent fuel shortages,
he said, there have been similar pledges
about the need to depend more on coal.
“Over the past few months in particular,
there has been what seems to be a new
level of interest in coal and its potential for *
helping solve some of this nation’s most
serious problems,” he said.
"But you must forgive the coal industry
if it doesn't seem excited by this
resurgence of coal rhetoric. We have been
down this road before What we feel is ever
mounting evidence supporting a cautious
approach on our part."
Bagge said there now is a national
surface mining law “that has succeeded
primarily in clumsily thrusting the hand of
the federal government Into an area that
had been adequately handled for years by
the individual states."
"The result has been chaos, confusion,
unnecessary rising costs and economic
disruption for both the coal operators and
states affected by this questionable law,”
he said.
And, he added, Clean Air Act -
regulations, tighened through 1977
amendments, now have thousands of
miners out of work and preclude use of
some of the most plentiful and easily ac-
cessible coals east of the Mississippi.
Bagge said President Carter has told the
coal industry he wants the nation to mine
and consume 1.2 billion tons of coal an-
nually by 1985
“But the rules under which the game is
currently being played will prevent us
from reaching that goal," he saidi.
“At the present rate of growth we will
fall 20 to 25 percent below President
Carter’s 1985 timetable. Even with more
optimistic annual increases in coal use of 5
to 7 percent, coal will be supplying only 48
to 50 percent of America’s electricity and
only 20 percent of total energy by 1985,
figures that are barely more than the
current totals.” ■
Bagge said more than 700 million tons of
coal will be mined this year but the-
estimate is 100 million tons below existing
capacity to produce.
If the nation is ever to have a secure,
plentiful supply of domestically produced
energy, Bagge said, something must be
done now to stop the serious negative cycle
of rising costs, lagging production, and
soft coal markets.
"We have the ability to provide this
country with all the energy it needs,” he
said.
“But we simply cannot overcome an
intransigent federal government that
stubbornly clings to misguided and unba-
lanced regulatory programs that
discourage coal production, tran-
sportation, and use.”

Trade interest up in Mexico
By BILL KIDD
Austin News Bureau
AUSTIN — Officials with the Texas Industrial
Commission report continued high interest by
Mexican buyers at the State's Trade Office in
Mexico City, which remains a Texas exclusive.
Frank Aligns of TIC reports the office has been
•funneling a lot of activity through," including one
recent deal involving the purchase of 100,000
telephone poles from a Houston company (at the
cost of $38-plus per pole).
Then, to haul the poles back, the buyer purchased
$425,000 worth of trucks and trailers in Dalls.
Considerable activity continues in relation to
petroleum and oilfield equipment, Alagna reports,
with efforts still in progress on the sale of 20 drilling
rigs to a contractor for Pemex.
Texas continues to be the only state with a trade
office in Mexico City, Alagna reports, although
Louisiana and some other states have contacted
Mexico about setting up operations there.
Thus far, he notes, those requests have been
turned down.
In a related matter, Gov. Bill Clements has
notified agencies — such as the Tourist Develop-
ment Board and Texas Department of Agriculture
—of the change made in the past legislative session
to make the TIC office the State Trade Office, and
has informed them of the possibility for using space
there.
That likely would be handled under interagency
contracts, TIC reports.
The State Board of Insurance baa called on in-
surers to continue their commitment to the Texas
Market Assistance Program (MAP) for products
liability coverage, as the program seems to be
attracting little attention - and certainly less than
that desired by SBI.
Over the last year and a half, only 37 applications
have come to the MAP committee, and con-
sideration has been given to disbanding the
operation. I
Supporters of the program — which is intended ss
a clearing house for hard-to-place risks — feel that
there are risks which need coverage, but which
aren’t being contacted.
SBI is looking at a request to groups such as the
Texas Association of Business, National Federation
of Independent Business and similar organizations
to notify their members of the MAP program, and to
obtain more information on those members' ex-
periences in obtaining products liability coverage.
Others involved in the effort feel the problem with
such coverage is affordability, not availability, and
that not much in the way of additional results under
the program is likely.
