The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) culminated decades of dispute over natural gas policy and was the "centerpiece of President Carter's National Energy Act. Now there are many issues of both regulatory and legislative concerns under discussion. These items were unanticipated by the framers of this difficult and delicate compromise. Generally speaking, they all stem from the fact that oil prices more than doubled in 1979 and 1980. The NGPA1s framers set wellhead gas prices within the new law's framework in such a way that they would converge on oil equivalent prices -- as they were then perceived -- in real dollar terms by 1985.

World Resource Institute (2015). Earth Trends (discontinued): Energy and Resources | Country: American Samoa | Labor Metric: Resource Consumption: Paper and paperboard consumption, 1961-2005. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 024-001-006. Dataset: The Energy and Resources dataset was compiled by WRI from numerous sources, and includes 45 metrics related to energy consumption and production; energy exports and imports; transportation energy indicators; electricity access and indicators; and consumption of coffee and paper/paperboard. Most data are from the International Energy Agency (IEA); other data sources include: The World Bank; International Road Federation (IRF); Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); and International Coffee Organization (ICO). EarthTrends is a comprehensive online database, maintained by the World Resources Institute, that focuses on the environmental, social, and economic trends that shape our world. NOTE: The database was discontinued and is no longer being maintained by the World Resources Institute as of 2012.
