Carter energy plan faces partyline rejection
The Carter energy package drew sharp opposition as the Ways and Means Committee stripped back gas tax ideas and mileage standards. A 31 to 5 vote killed a proposed rebate linked to high mileage cars while a 27 to 10 tally defeated a fuel tax, with a onetime five cent increase for 1978 also dropped. The House energy subcommittee then shifted to federal price controls on natural gas, backing Krueger’s five year plan and immediate cap for new onshore gas, arguing controls spark more exploration though opponents say producers gain windfalls.
