The bill is currently pending in the Senate Public Works Committee.

Congressman Fithian Reports

Healthy competition is the key to survival of our free enterprise system. When competition is stifled, higher prices and unfair business practices cannot be far behind. That is why I am growing increasingly alarmed by the concentration of ownership by the major oil companies of other branches of the energy industry. Oil companies are expanding rapidly into all areas of energy — gas, oil shale, coal and uranium. Diversification is a wise business practice, to be sure. But in the energy industry, which is so vital to our nation’s economic health, careful attention is necessary to protect inter-fuel competition. If an electric utility, for example, can choose among three kinds of fuels, limited competition in the industry supplying each fuel may not be harmful to consumers. But if one company dominates the supply of all three fuels, that company could set the prices it wishes, lacking any competitive safeguards for consumers. So the spread of oil companies into the production of other energy forms, making them, in effect, diversified energy companies, could diminsh inter-fuel competition. Without that competition, the cost of energy and many other products could skyrocket. Os the 14 largest oil companies, every one produces at least three forms of energy. Seven have diversified into all other branches of the energy, industry — gas, oil shale, coal, uranium and tar sands. The second and third largest coal producers in America are owned by oil companies.

Exxon, the nation's largest producer of crude oil products, is also the largest natural gas producer and the leader in the entire energy market. Vast coal reserves held in Exxon’s name assure it a leading position in coal production of the future. Consolidation Coal, the nation’s second largest coal producer, is a subsidiary of Continental Oil Co. (Conoco). Third ranking Island Creek Coal Co. is owned by Occidental Petroleum. Other oil companies with significant coal production include Ashland, Standard Oil of Ohio and Gulf, Six of the eight major oil companies own substantial uranium deposits. The 'eight largest oil companies presently own more than 64 per cent of the nation's oil and gas reserves. Oil companies own over 50 per cent of the uranium and tens of billions of tons of coal. Even as we look toward increased use of renewable energy, such as alcohol produced from farm products and urban waste, involvement by the oil companies could stifle competition. Oil companies are reluctant to encourage development of “gasahol” because of the potential loss of petroleum markets. They are less hesitant, however, about promoting alcohol fuels made from coal, which they own in abundance. This concentration of energy resources is significant in our economy, depending as we do on free competition to maintain low prices. It is an issue which should increasingly concern the American people as we continue our search for alternate sources of fuel.
