For those whose teeth chattered at 65 degrees, the was chilling prospect indeed. Are we truly running out of natural gas? If we are, alternative sources' of fuel must be discovered and developed, while, in the meantime, we do everything that is possible to conserve what we have. President Carter is acting on the belief that we are running out. He has, among other things, suggested tax for those who credits homes: their insulate it be Wouldnt simpler to deregulate natural gas? The rise in price that would . . result would force to conserve. consumers They would insulate their and turn their homes thermostats down, not in a spirit of national sacrifice, but in order to balance their budgets, the artificially low price of natural gas has for many years . encouraged consumers to waste it in. overheated, poorly insulated buildings. Deregulation would thus foster conservation of the fuel. But it might be able to do much more as well. Several studies indicate that there is enough natural gas left in the earth to last us for least at another thousand years. But the involved reserves are expensive ones to tap. President Carter wants to put a ceiling of $1.75 per thousand cubic feet on natural gas prices. To get to the resources were talking about would cost more. By. holding prices down, we are creating a shortage that neednt exist. The only conceivable way, said the Wall Street Journal editorially, Americans would freeze in the dark anytime in the near future is if the government ' continues to keep the price of natural gas from getting into ranges that would finance those tapping reserves. Holding down the price is of course precisely Carter President what proposed, a ceiling of $1.75 per thousand cubic feet. For years, the Federal government has the price of regulated twenty-thre- e natural gas sold interstate. The results have been a decline in the production of gas, and, Anally, last winters disaster. There no have been would shortage government if the hadnt interfered with pricing. Now Mr. Carter proposes not only to keep the regulations on interstate gas, but wants to extend the disaster-producin- g controls to gas produced and sold within a single state. The choice is very simple. Do we want enough natural gas to last us another thousand years at present consumption rates? Or do we want to freeze in. the dark in our own generation? The resource is there. Will the government let us get it? -- American Way Features Readers comments and welcome. are questions us at The Please write American Way Features", P.O.
