It is well known, however, that much of the coal and oil which has been used for electric utility boiler heating in the past has already or will become unacceptable with the more stringent air quality requirements. Satisfactory and proven methods of removing the required volumes of pollutants from coal and from stack gases are not yet available and sufficient facilities for desulfurization of oil are not available at this time to process all oil used for boiler heating. Additional facilities and improved processes are expected but will require some time. Although in some respects a regional problem at present, utilities along the East Coast are relying heavily on foreign oil production and tanker delivery for power plant fuel. This subjects the affected area to critical shortage problems almost immediately if deliveries are severely curtailed for any reason. Conclusions The array of problems confronting the utility industry in completing new facilities on schedule, obtaining required certifications and licenses on time, assuring availability of sufficient fuel of necessary quality to meet prevailing standards, providing for needed maintenance of existing facilities, and coping with environmentally oriented modifications of present and future installations seems at times to be almost overwhelming. If the projected demands for electric power over the period of this review are to be met, it appears that some streamlining of procedures and maximum cooperation among those involved in all of the various aspects of bringing new facilities into service are essential. At best, it will likely be difficult to avoid severe shortages of electric power in some cases.
