Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - January 23, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news partly Cloudy Section one 2 sections vol. 92, no. 19 it. Pleasant Iowa Friday evening january 23, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain making sure we have Oil and Gas the Domestic Oil companies have taken a terrible beating from the liberals for defending the Oil de depletion allowance which they claim is necessary to finance the search for new Wells. They done to deserve the criticism they have been getting. For if anything is obvious it is that not enough capital has been available in recent years for seeking out new Oil Fields within the strategically Safe environs of the North american continent. The rewards for discovery should have been greater not less. It is not that Oil itself is such a rare commodity. The real bottleneck in our Energy requirements is the inadequate Supply of natural Gas. The discovery of new Gas Wells is ordinarily a by product of Tho search for Oil if we done to Drill for Oil we done to add to the Supply of Gas. Its As simple As that. In 1958 the actual consumption of natural Gas in the u. S. Exceeded new discoveries for the first time in our history. And since Gas now provides a third of the Energy requirements of the Economy this should have been a warning to the tax a reformers Quot who want to make it less attractive to engage in the exploratory drilling that usually turns up Oil and Gas in the traditional tandem relationship. If something Isnit done to encourage Gas production How Are we going to keep Pace with a demand that is sure to double within the next Twenty years too fortunately there is some Balm in the development of modern fuel technology. It is now possible to Liquefy natural Gas which Means that it can be put in a form that permits transportation by ship and Barge.

The contract is scheduled to run for Twenty five years. In the nature of things it cannot be disrupted by a nationalization Quot shenanigans the algerians can Only Hurt themselves by failure to deliver the Gas to refrigerated u. S. Tankers. By making no investment in fixed property on foreign soil Elpaso has eliminated the danger of becoming a Pawn in the complicated politics of the Middle East. The algerians Are investing $500 million in their own pipeline facilities and liquefaction Plant. They Are also providing two refrigerated tankers at a Cost of $35 million per ship. Al faso will Supply seven or eight tankers of its own that could be used on other runs if the contract should be abrogated by a Mediterranean War. Nigeria not to professes know of u. S.
