Governor Outlines 90 Day Energy Conservation Plan
Governor Dolph Briscoe announced a 90 day emergency energy program for public and private sectors urging Texans to cut gasoline use by 20 percent and curtail energy consumption. State agencies must reduce fuel use 25 percent and set building thermostats for heating and cooling. Schools must file TEA plans targeting a 15 percent energy reduction across 1,133 districts with detailed thermostat schedules and schedule shifts. The plan projects saving over one billion cubic feet of gas in January to March 1974, enough to heat 20,000 homes for a year.
