Bills aim to increase use
of alternate motor fuels
LAZA
RAND OPENING
United Press Internationa]
AUSTIN — A series of bills to
encourage the use of alternate
energy sources was approved by the
Senate Natural Resources Commit
tee Wednesday.
Two bills sponsored by Sen. Bob
Vale, D-San Antonio, and Sen. Bob
Price, R-Pampa, would exempt
gasohol — a motor fuel containing at
least 10 percent agriculturally de
rived alcohol — from the state’s 5
percent motor fuel excise tax.
Agriculture Commissioner Re
agan V. Brown supported the tax
exemption bills and said, “The idea
for gasohol is an idea whose time has
come.”
Brown agreed that the 5 percent
tax revenue which is appropriated
for road construction and mainte
nance would be lost on the gas
which is sold as part of the gas-
alcohol mixture.
“But we’re not going to have
those tax revenues anyway because
of the current (gas) shortage,” he
added.
“We figure we’ve got about 10
years before we’re at the mercy of
outside oil producers,” Brown con
tinued, and said these bills would
help alleviate the oil and gas short
age while also helping the Texas
farmer, who will produce the al
cohol for gasohol from surplus
crops.
“We lost 3,000 farmers in 1978 in
this state, we’ll lose another 4,000 in
1979,” the agriculture leader said.
“Give them a chance to produce.”
Another bill sponsored by Vale
would encourage the use of solar
and wind energy and place solar de
vice installers under the regulation
of the State Board of Plumbing Ex
aminers.
The bill also provides that private
solar generating energy devices are
not considered public utilities by
the Public Utility Regulatory Act,
and that the Public Utilities Com
mission cannot set discriminatory
rates against a customer who uses
solar energy.
The committee approved a Vale
bill requiring a feasibility study of
using solid waste as a source of fuel
when a person plans to construct or
substantially renovate an electric
utility plant.
Wiley Osborne of the Texas De
partment of Health, which regulates
solid waste disposal in the state, said
that currently more than 13 million
tons of municipal solid waste is dis
posed annually in Texas.
