Note:
J. Craig Youngblood, Production Bounties for New Natural Gas
in Times of Shortage, 58 TEXAS L. REV. 197 (1979).
Abstract:
At the time this note was written, there was a real possibility
of an impending natural gas shortage, which would be disastrous.
This note proposes a bounty program to supplement the amount of
natural gas supply otherwise available under the federal price
ceilings. The proposed program would provide a bounty payment to
producers of new supplies of natural gas in times of impending
or actual shortage. This will generate new supply, and Texas
will retain the benefit of the new supply made available by the
expenditure of Texas monies.
