handle is hein.gao/gaobacuhh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 093828 The Role of the Federal Government in Expanding the Use of Coal j Presented by Monte Canfield, Jr. 1/ Director, Energy and Minerals Division U.S. General Accounting Office Before A Symposium to Increase the Use of Coal: Today to 1990 Reston, Virginia November 7, 1977 Sponsored by the METREK Division of the MITRE Corporation It's really a pleasure to participate in this symposium. Over the years I've worked with many of you personally. In my current role as Director of the General Accounting Office's Energy and Minerals Division, I have a great deal of interest in the future of America's coal. While some here would argue that we can depend on coal and nuclear power for the indefinite future, I cannot come to that conclusion. In fact, it seems obvious to me that the United States in the long term--say beyond 2000--must develop our inexhaustible sources of energy for sustained economic growth and, in fact, for our very survival. Domestic oil and gas supplies are being depleted rapidly and international sources are plagued with security of supply problems. We must make plans now on how to move from our present energy base, which relies primarily on oil and natural gas, to an energy base which relies primarily on renewable sources. We must act now because this transition cannot be made overnight. 1/Michael Duffy of my staff was of invaluable help in preparing these remarks. AT. 0 q -3 _ W 1* -1
