BOX 30392 DALLAS, TEXAS 75230 i* Conflicts unnecessary to Bentsen WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D.-Tex., told an environmental group Tuesday con flicts are not built in to efforts to preserve the environment and re store the economy. But, he told the National En vironmental Development Associa tion in a speech, the conflicts that exist are unnecessary confrontations among people “worried about their families, their children, their stan dard of living, their jobs” and peo ple “worried about their surround ings; their feelings about land, pure water and clear skies.” He said the economic problems need not lead to an abandonment of environmental standards and said ingenuity and creativity could bal ance the two. T’m talking about American creativity in developing alternative sources of energy such as geother mal, coal gasification or solar' energy,” he said. “And I’m talking! about American creativity wisely protecting our natural resources.” Bentsen, a candidate for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomina tion cited as an example legislation to support the development of methanol plants to consume solid waste materials for producing energy. f- ; “Methanol can be made from di verse processes from such materials as coal, timber, feedlot manure, sewage plant sludge and garbage,” he said. “It can be used as a fuel additive for operating cars or heating homes, cutting consumption of gasoline or oil and helping solve a critical solid waste environmental problem.” “It does something else, too,” he said. “The legislation and program I’m developing provides jobs . . .in construction and methanol plants. “With proper planning we can have both resource recovery and re storation,” the senator said. “All we need to do is look down the road, to ask questions about where we are going, and how we are going to get there.” “The price of not doing so is con tinuing the dilemma we are trying to avoid, choices between environ ment, energy production and economic progress,” he said.
