Page 48 - ... continue to increase with concomitant economic and national security risks and difficulties. Similarly, shortages will develop more rapidly for critical and unique nonenergy uses of petroleum and natural gas. This is an unacceptable direction for the future. Two primary energy sources, coal and uranium, are available domestically in sufficient abundance to supply a major portion of our energy requirements for a long time into the future. Coal supplies can be expected to last well into the 22nd...
