Natural Gas Rate Design: A Neglected Issue, Richard J. Pierce, Jr. Oct 1978

Natural Gas Rate Design: A Neglected Issue, Richard J. Pierce, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The theses of this Article are: (1) the present method of allocating natural gas costs among consumers produces significant allocative inefficiency that has contributed to the present problems in the natural gas market and is certain to create even greater problems in the future; (2) the new rate designs suggested over the past years in regulatory and congressional debates would do little to eliminate the allocative inefficiency inherent in present rate designs and would introduce unnecessary collateral problems; (3) several approaches to the rate design issue potentially could eliminate or greatly reduce allocative inefficiency at a tolerable cost; and (4) …

The Federal Coal Leasing Waltz, Brian E. Mcgee, Gerald E. Dahl Jun 1978

The Federal Coal Leasing Waltz, Brian E. Mcgee, Gerald E. Dahl

West Virginia Law Review

Few Americans will deny that if we are not already immersed in an energy crisis, we are at least on the brink of a very serious energy crunch. Consequently, it is critical that we reassess our present and future energy resources, our escalating consumption of finite reserves, and. our commitment to energy conservation. Pivotal to such an assessment is the development of our nation's vast western coal deposits and the vital part that federal coal can play in this tableau. Just one short year ago, the nation was primed to embark upon a new era of federal coal leasing as …


The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins Jun 1978

The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins

West Virginia Law Review

On February 15, 1978, Congress enacted the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977. The passage of this legislation followed months of congressional indecision over just how the existing black lung benefits system could be reformed. During this period, the financing of the program appeared to be the most divisive issue. That issue was finally resolved by the enactment in late January of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977. After this hurdle was cleared, the conference committee report on the reform act easily passed both houses.' The Act, which amended the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act …


Commonwealth V. Barnes & Tucker Co.--The Burden Of Treating Acid Mine Drainage, Michael E. Winck Jun 1978

Commonwealth V. Barnes & Tucker Co.--The Burden Of Treating Acid Mine Drainage, Michael E. Winck

West Virginia Law Review

On February 28, 1977, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided the case of Commonwealth v. Barnes & Tucker Co. That decision resolved a lengthy controversy over the issue of responsibility for the abatement of acid mine drainage emanating from an inactive deep coal mine which was owned and once operated by Barnes and Tucker Co. The Supreme Court's decision, requiring the company to bear the responsibility for the treatment of the discharge, is significant. It illustrates not only the strength of Pennsylvania's commitment to a clean environment, but also the ability of the state to act in furtherance of that …
