Energy bill compromise risks delaying deregulation of natural gas
Nine Senate conferees formed a shaky coalition behind a plan to end federal price controls on new natural gas by 1985. If adopted, prices would start at 1.75 dollars per mcf and rise with CPI plus 3.5 percent to 1981 and 4 percent from 1981 to 1984, with possible reimposition of controls after 1985. The House may resist extending intrastate controls, threatening the pact and potentially keeping the U.S. dependent on imported fuels amid higher prices. The IPAA opposes the deal, arguing it would postpone deregulation for at least seven years and invite safeguards that curb competition.
