House committee backs half Carter oil tax to spur coal shift
The Ways and Means Committee approved a tax plan targeting oil and natural gas use by industry and utilities to fund a coal‑focus energy move. It would raise about 446 billion over 1979 to 1985, with exemptions for small users and inflation adjustments. The plan envisions utility payments starting 1983 and gas taxes escalating, aiming to save oil use but at a lower level than Carter proposed.
