GAO pins U S failure on coal to oil project cost overrun
GAO reports ERDA's coal to oil effort was a costly failure due to poor planning and management. The program ran $10 million over a $4.7 million target and was 144 percent behind schedule when canceled on June 15 after a rushed Interior Department contract to Union Carbide and Chemical Construction Corp. was approved before problems were studied. The fencing of the project stemmed from hasty approvals and use of high sulfur coal, with funding and timeline missteps amid congressional scrutiny. Meanwhile in Vermont, former Lt. Gov. Brian Burns was named regional director for the Farmer's Home Administration covering New England excluding Maine, replacing Sherman Sprague.
