He argues that the 160-acre limitation issue should not be a concern as it would be difficult to enforce in developed areas. Nixon believes that private companies should be allowed to provide power where they can do so efficiently and at a lower cost than the government, but the government should step in where private companies cannot provide adequate service. He opposes the White-Douglas Bill, which would allow for federal development of power facilities even if it would be more costly to consumers and taxpayers than private enterprise.
