Poor coal oil plan blamed on government mismanagement
Congressional investigators faulted ERDA and officials for "incredibly poor" management of the coal to synthetic oil project. The GAO cited a 211 percent cost overrun, $10 million overrun against a $4.7 million target, and a year of delayed action before termination. It accused Interior Department officials of rushing a $237 million Coalcon contract despite unresolved technical issues and weak federal oversight.
