Anthracite Coal Supply for the 1981-82 Winter

GAO studied the problems of energy supplies focusing on those affecting the anthracite industry and its consumers in the northeastern States, State and industry actions since the 1980-1981 shortage, and the outlook for the winter of 1981-1982. GAO obtained information on anthracite exports, Federal research and development efforts to use anthracite in industrial boilers, and actions that the State of Pennsylvania has taken to encourage the use of anthracite in municipal buildings.
