The day after Carter made this speech was the day BIG OIL hired Regan to campaign against green energy. Regan and his bodies then pulled the solar panels off the roof of the White House Carter had put on it and continues to go to war/s for this POISON fossil fuel we use instead of clean energy.

It is kind of sad to watch this knowing that in 30 years we have become even more dependent on Mid East oil. I now have two cars adapted to run on natural gas and one Think City electric car. I'm off gasoline for the most part. I converted my cars to alternate fuels instead of buying a mid-life crisis Harley.

If people listened to Carter, we would not be where we are today, financially. It's because of the oil industry's hijacking of energy policy that's made us dependent on a FINITE source of energy. A country dependent on a finite source of energy is FINITE itself! We're watching the beginnings now. Oil is 4x what is cost 10 years ago. Consider that a 400% tax! You can blame spending, taxes, blah blah blah but the TRUTH is that oil is OVER and we must pick up the slack and tell oil to piss off!

Unfortunately, Reagan came along and there went that dream

Because the department of energy is just as unconstitutional as the patriot act.

@JDinNYC01 Then you must know the government (state of CA) set up artificial market with price caps and structured the market (spot market instead of long term contracts they had previously)in a way that Enron could pull off the theft they did. This was directly caused by GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. The example you give is a perfect example of why governments should stay out of the energy market.
And now we import 2/3s of our oil and are deeply in debt to Muslim Nations. Too bad we didn't try harder to reduce our oil addiction.

In decades from now, people will look back at Carter and truly revise some of the old nonsense that was concocted by the Reaganites. Carter was not necessarily the most successful president, but I would say that his legacy will be better than his successor.
