Flood of imported oil disrupts coal market says Gandy
Harry L. Gandy of the National Coal Association told the House Ways and Means Committee that cheap oil from South America is a serious competitor to bituminous coal. He urged a 25 cent per barrel crude oil duty and used 60 cent oil equal to 2.40 per ton coal delivered to illustrate the shock to eastern and Gulf coast markets. He noted rapid Caribbean oil production from Colombia, Venezuela, and the Dutch West Indies flooding U.S. fuel markets and questioned byproduct prospects as only about ten percent of lighter products are recoverable from this oil.
