Conservation tax breaks urged to aid utilities growth
Washington AP Ford backed by labor and management urged Congress on Friday to enact new tax breaks for electric utilities.

The package aims to spur new plants and convert oil and gas plants to coal while postponing environmental restrictions as needed.

Energy Tax Cuts Draw Lawmakers’ Attention In House
The House moved to strip the energy bill of its sharpest tax hikes and resume work Tuesday on remaining sections. It approved about 25 to 32 million dollars in tax cuts for new electric or efficient cars while rejecting stove subsidies. The panel also backed a 710 million dollar home insulation tax cut planned before 1978 and rejected higher gas taxes and a tax on gas guzzler cars. Lawmakers favored civil penalties over auto fuel economy taxes, and negotiations with President Ford continued amid debates on oil imports and energy policy.

Virginian Discovers Stone Heart Debated as Fossil or Iron Rock
James Brummett found a rock in the Virginia mountains he believed resembled a petrified heart but Virginia Tech geologist Richard Bambach says the specimen is a natural iron carbonate or iron oxide formation formed by mineral deposition from cave water. The rocks are 280 to 340 million years old and not mammalian remains, ruling out a fossil heart.
