Reagan plans major cuts to synthetic fuels program
The administration proposes eliminating the Perry coal gasification project and four other large demonstrations, slash Synthetic Fuels Corp funding by about $5.3 billion, and raise private funding to 40 percent. The move, aimed at saving $9.1 billion in the 1985 fiscal year, shifts emphasis to demonstration and could curb project viability, drawing Capitol Hill criticism and industry concern.
