Natural Gas Hike Deemed Inadequate By Officials
Washington AP The Federal Power Commission raised the ceiling price for new natural gas by about 20 percent retroactive to June 21, potentially lifting the average residential bill by up to 2.9 percent this year. Interior Secretary Morton urged Congress to end all price controls on new gas before Christmas, arguing deregulation would lower inflation and spur production. Morton and FPC chair Nassikas rejected a committee plan for price ceilings, warning it could backfire with higher consumer costs and push buyers to oil.
