President's energy plan not the answer says Bentsen
Energy conservation speaker Lloyd Bentsen opposes the plan arguing it raises oil and gas prices by 30 to 50 billion dollars, boosts inflation, and harms consumers. He urges alternatives such as gasoline allocation, 55 mph limit enforcement, higher taxes on inefficient autos, and continued drilling while developing nuclear and solar energy. He cites Texas drilling gains and the growing energy import bill to justify a broader approach.
