thank you James Earl Carter - USA President Infrastructure Entrepreneur

ED: Some people might reason that us elders have passed a darn hard challenge with cooperation development goals 534(17&1)2 also known to alumni of Fazle Abed as SHELF but blow me down when it comes to morality of Infrastructure Goals 6 and up

1977: Carter (32 year update on neumann's 1945 prediction energy will make scientists most hated and wanted): energy crisis will progressively worsen and could result in a national catastrophe. He cited the effort was the "moral equivalent of war".

He foresaw the renewed use of coal and?solar power. Our consumption of oil would keep going up every year. Our cars would continue to be too large and inefficient. Three-quarters of them would continue to carry only one person—the driver—while our?public transportation system?continues to decline. He predicted that by 1985,?energy use?would increase by 33 percent.

He predicted that $550 billion would be spent on imported oil by 1985, up from $37 billion at the time of the speech (1977) and $3.7 billion six year earlier.

Principles[edit]

Ten principles were introduced:

• the country can have an effective and comprehensive?energy policy?only if the government takes responsibility for it and if the people understand the seriousness of the challenge and are willing to make sacrifices.
• healthy?economic growth?must continue. Only by saving energy can we maintain our?standard of living?and keep our people at work. An effective conservation program will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
• must protect the environment. Our energy problems have the same cause as our environmental problems—wasteful use of resources. Conservation helps us solve both at once.
• must reduce our vulnerability to potentially devastating embargoes. We can protect ourselves from uncertain supplies by reducing our demand for oil, making the most of our abundant resources such as coal, and developing a?strategic petroleum reserve.
• must ask equal sacrifices from every region, every class of people, every?interest group. Industry will have to do its part to conserve, just as the consumers will. The energy producers deserve fair treatment, but we will not let the oil companies profiteer.
• the cornerstone of our policy, is to reduce the demand through conservation. Our emphasis on conservation is a clear difference between this plan and others which merely encouraged crash production efforts. Conservation is the quickest, cheapest, most practical source of energy. Conservation is the only way we can buy a barrel of oil for a few dollars. It costs about $13 to waste it.
• prices should generally reflect the true replacement costs of energy. We are only cheating ourselves if we make energy artificially cheap and use more than we can really afford.
• government policies must be predictable and certain. Both consumers and producers need policies they can count on so they can plan ahead. This is one reason I am working with the Congress to create a new?Department of Energy, to replace more than 50 different agencies that now have some control over energy.
• intermission can twitterversal go beyong sanfran/berkeley worldview

• must conserve the fuels that are scarcest and make the most of those that are more plentiful. We can't continue to use oil and gas for 75 percent of our consumption when they make up seven percent of our domestic reserves. We need to shift to plentiful coal while taking care to protect the environment, and to apply stricter?safety standards?to nuclear energy.
• must start now to develop the new, unconventional sources of energy we will rely on in the next century.

Goals[edit]

Goals we set for 1985:

• Reduce the annual growth rate in our?energy demand?to less than two percent.
• Reduce gasoline consumption by ten percent below its current level.
• Cut in half the portion of United States oil which is imported, from a potential level of 16 million barrels (2,500,000?m3) to 6 million barrels per day (950,000?m3/d).
• Establish a strategic petroleum reserve of one billion barrels, more than six months' supply.
• Increase our coal production by about two thirds to more than 1 billion tons a year.
• Insulate 90 percent of American homes and all new buildings.
• Use solar energy in more than two and one-half million houses.

Additionally, Carter stated that those who insist on driving large, unnecessarily powerful cars must expect to pay more for that luxury.
