House Defeats Carter Energy Fast-Track Plan
The House rejected a key Carter energy proposal by a 232 to 131 vote, sending the fast track plan for high priority projects to a conference committee. The measure would create a three member Energy Mobilization Board with power to waive regulations to speed power plants pipelines and refineries while nuclear plants would be excluded. Environmentalists and states rights advocates opposed waivers citing potential harm to air and water standards and state authority. The bill has lingered through Parliament with differing versions from House and Senate.
