Carr Presents Arguments In FPC Gas Rate Appeal
Texas Atty Gen Waggoner Carr told the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals that the Federal Power Commission order on Permian Basin gas rates would force many independent Texas producers out of business by failing to cover expenses. He argued the ruling would hurt Texas economy and individual Texans, citing depressed prices for gas and potential refunds dating to 1953. The appeal seeks to overturn FPC ceilings set for old and new gas well gas, with stay orders in place awaiting further arguments.
