Union Carbide chairman voices concerns on energy plan
William S. Sneath, chairman of Union Carbide, spoke at the Houston stockholders meeting on April 27. He said it is early to judge the impact of Carter's energy and anti inflation program, noting two major concerns: its failure to recognize oil and gas as indispensable feedstocks, and its support for clean liquid fuels to generate synthetic natural gas, which could be less efficient than using coal. He praised reliance on market forces to curb inflation but warned regulatory approaches may be overemphasized. He added Carbide will work with the Administration and Congress to balance aims with growth and environmental goals.
