Blacks and the energy crisis
by MARK HYMAN
Mark Hyman Associates, Inc.
At the very beginning
President Carter’s Energy Plan,
which is projected to 1985, has
a definite impact on Blacks and
poor people with fixed
incomes.
For home owners his plan
offers a two hundred dollar tax
break on the first SBOO spent
on home insulation. If a
homeowner spent 52,200, a
four hundred and ten dollar
tax break would be allowed.
Realistically this places an
additional burden on low
income homeowners and
people with fixed incomes.
Either they will have to spend
their precious savings or make
undesirable loans.
Representative Charles Rangel
of New York, the Black
member of the House Ad Hoc
Select Committee on Energy
says:
“For many increased energy
costs means that they must
choose between keeping warm
and having enough to eat.
President Carter’s Plan
emphasises energy conservation
rather than finding new sources
of energy (if red tape were
eliminated, nuclear energy
would provide adequate
energy_...clean and reliable).
He feels that Americans can
decrease their energy
consumption without affecting
the high standard living.
Overlooked here is the fact
that millions of Blacks and the
Poor have never gained the
higher standard of living. What
this indicates is that they will
never get it.
Carter suggests that tests
show that apartment buildings
can save thirty percent of
electrical costs by installing
separate electric meters to each
unit. Again the cost for energy
is passed on to the poor and
people on fixed income.
The President’s Plan touches
on coal conversion for
industries conversion from
oil and natural gas; that they
convert to coal burning. No
one seems to mention the
growing difficulty associated
with the mining of coal, both
from the technical and
environmental standpoints.
The environmentalists have
maneuvered such prohibitive
legislation on the books of
some mining states that
effective mining will incur
exorbitant costs. Then, after it
is mined, there are even
stringent regulations as to how
the coal can be burned in the
plants. In order to keep from
polluting the air,
environmentalists have
suggested plants use
“scrubbers”. Actually the cost
of installing and maintaining
scrubbers can eventually cost
more than the plants
themselves which makes for
a losing proposition. Even at
this, who would eventually pay
for it all? The consumer of
energy. And who would be
even deeper behind the
economic eight ball? Blacks
and the poor.
The President suggest “solar
energy” as a alternate source of
inexpensive energy for
warming, lighting and cooling
the home. Again, for the poor
and people on fixed incomes
this can seem like a Logar
Run contraption. The pl I
would allow 40 % on the fit n
one thousand dollars spent I
the homeowner on soil
equipment and installatinrß
How much equipment would I
thousand dollars get? The pla
further allows 25% tax credi
on the next $6,400. How di
little people raise this kind ol
money in the first place?
A danger lurks in the energy
crisis for
everybody especially inner
city people. We will definitely
need more energy and more
sources of energy. Where
nuclear plants or electric
generating plants could provide
the answer, prevailing red tape
would extend building time to
fifteen years. There are 30
regulating agencies alone
governing that many facets of
nuclear plant building
requirements,
Meanwhile the predictions I
are that the coming winter will |
be as severe as the last one.
