Witness Predicts Coal Supremacy For Many Year
Government economist Frederick G Tryon testified in the Carter Coal Co suit that coal will remain the nation’s main power source for years, with energy needs met mainly by bituminous coal. He cited oil reserves lasting 136 years and Dr. Steinmetz’s calc that even all US rain could not match coal energy. The trial paused until Monday as the Bureau of Internal Revenue issued percent compliance tax rules for soft coal. Producers accepting the code qualify for a 90 percent tax rebate, with about 2 160 code acceptances received and some 15 000 producers taxed.
