$2 per barrel hike won't up gasoline price
Washington AP The Carter administration seeks a $2 per barrel surcharge on Alaskan oil, arguing it will not raise consumer petroleum prices. Energy official Thomas O Leary says the measure aims to spur North Slope development and uses world prices to justify keeping prices stable for consumers. He notes imports would still face the full world price, while the higher North Slope value could attract investment. Senator Metzenbaum supports the view as a stimulus for new Alaskan fields.
