Energy bill clash over taxes and credits sparks dispute
The House would impose new taxes to drive conservation while the Finance Committee favors tax breaks to aid fuel conservation and boost production. A Senate House conference may blend both approaches. President Carter warned he can veto and consider gas rationing if Congress stalls. Industry leaders denounce his energy plan while Republicans critique its conservatism. The committee’s taxed credits would fund coal conversion and incentives for fuel switching, with a notable $16 billion cost and a potential 1 million barrel daily oil savings by 1985.
