Moore Proposes Coal Reconversion to Ease Oil Shortage
West Virginia Governor Arch Moore Jr. proposed reconverting coal to oil fueled plants to offset the nation’s oil shortage. He cited 398 coal to oil conversions since 1965, 28,000 megawatts capacity, and noted three week timing if coal supply sufficed. He also reported on gasoline receipt auditing and trends in vehicle registrations.
