On the matter of energy, John Anderson is without question the most conservation-minded of the three presidential candidates. Ever fond of studies, Anderson has taken in particular to the Harvard Business School study, Energy Future, authored by Daniel Yergin and Robert Stobaugh, in which it is estimated that Americans could reduce energy use by 30 to 40 percent without making significant sacrifices. The centerpiece of the Anderson energy plank is his call for a 50 cent per gallon gasoline tax. Anderson claims the tax would result in long-term sav-ings of 1 million barrels of oil a day. The estimated $50 billion annual pro-ceeds would be used to offset increases in the Social Security tax. He has also called for extending the fuel economy timetable to achieve a 40 mile per gallon standard by 1990.Anderson puts considerable emphasis on the need for effecting a per-manent change in transportation patterns, which would mean encouraging carpooling, community transportation, and bus and light rail systems. To ensure a stable source of support, he wants to establish a $4 billion federal trust fund for mass transit.
