No. 67*
(Senate Joint Resolution 45)
A Senate Joint Resolution concerning
Use of Coal in Maryland
FOR the purpose of requesting that the possibility of
converting the heating systems of Maryland's public
buildings to coal be explored; and generally
relating to the use of coal and to the present and
future energy situation.
WHEREAS, The winter of 1976-77 has been the coldest
and most severe of any winter in Maryland for more than
two hundred years, with its prolonged periods of
record—breaking cold; and
WHEREAS, This record cold has caused hardship on the
people of Maryland and on the State government and on the
various subdivisions therein by forcing them to pay
considerably more money for heating and to maintain their
residences and places of work at lower temperatures; and
WHEREAS, There is every expectation that this winter
is just the beginning of a period of similarly cold
winters that will continue to cause these hardships; and
WHEREAS, This cold has caused the Chesapeake Bay and
the rivers of the State to freeze so that heating oil and
fuel could not be delivered to alleviate the heating
problems; and
WHEREAS, There is now left in this country a
critical , at the present rate of consumption, a 15 year
supply shortage of natural gas and other petroleum fuels
a 25 year supply of oil, and that those petroleum fuels
and gas that are available are becoming more and more
expensive for consumers to purchase; and
