Abstract
The different facets of the President's energy plan proposed on April 20, 1977 are discussed as they relate directly to the Rocky Mountain states of Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. The forecasts of energy consumption by 1985 with full implementation of the energy plan are shown to differ only slightly from predictions made before the President's energy plan was proposed. It is concluded that, even through production from existing oil and gas fields is declining, conventional gas production should be encouraged, since its production consumes less water and is less labor-intensive than production of either electricity or synthetic fuels. The impact of shale oil production on the population growth, air pollution, and water resources of the Rocky Mountain States is explained in detail. Other recommendations are made to increase the energy supplies but to protect the ecology of the Rocky Mountain states.
