Summary
It is difficult in the long run to envisage a national coal policy, or a national petroleum policy, or a national water-power policy without also in time a national energy resources policy. Such a broader and integrated policy toward the problems of coal, petroleum, natural gas, and water power cannot be evolved overnight.
