The Middle East oil countries are fast capturing
the world?s money. There isn?t much they?re
incapable of buying. So it could happen.

They are looking for ways to invest their money.
And they do recognize an asset when they see
one. Which is something we seem to have
trouble doing.

America owns half 'of the world?s known supply
of one of mankind?s great energy assets: Coal.

in fact, we have underground nearly four times
more energy in coal than the Middle East

has in oil. And what are we doing with it?
Regrettably, too. little. We?re still making only
a lip service commitment to the full use of coal
despite the fact that coal represents 90% of our
fossil resources.

Why aren?t we using this great asset?

TWO reasons.

The Environmental Protection Agency won?t
let us burn much of the Eastern coal we can mine.

And the US. Interior Department w_on?t let us
mine the vast amounts of Western coal we
could burn.

lf?until a practical and. reliable process is
developed for cleaning coal before or after it is
burned?EPA. would recognize and approve
the tall stack and intermittent control system,
America could burn nearly all of the

Eastern coal.

And in case you'think the tall stack system
won?t protect the environment, you should know
it has been proven that?coupled with
sophisticated monitoring devices?it assures

You should also know that tall stacks have
been found to be efficient and are endorsed by

the Federal Power Commission, TVA, the
Federal Energy Administration and the
governments of England, Russia and Israel.

If E.P.A. would agree to the use of tall stacks to
control air quality, and if the government would
releasethe tremendous resources of clean
low-Sulfur coal in the West, great steps would
be made in fighting inflation and freeing us
from the economic grip of the oil rich Arab
nations.

Let?s begin a crash program to dig and put
all our coal to work as quickly, cleanly and
efficiently as possible.

The Arabs know how to use their natural asset
to help themselves. Let?s use ours?coal?
to help ourselves.
