Hampton Roads Deepening Sails Amid Energy Drive
The Carter administration backs dredging Hampton Roads from 45 to 55 feet to support rising coal exports, with an initial $100 million cost. Backers cite vast economic gains for Appalachian coal via faster shipments and boosted national economy, while opponents cite environmental hurdles eased by new expedited procedures. Democratic and Republican candidates face off in West Virginia districts as Harley Staggers Jr. faces Pat Hamilton, with Cleve Benedict challenging in the Second District.

He attributes deficits and easy money by the Fed as the root cause, detailing escalating debt, crowding out, and rapid money supply growth from 1959 to 1978, then slowing under Volcker as production trends continue.
