Yes, I remember this speech well. It's too bad the Carter was such an ineffective president. Too thoughtful and indecisive; not given to action. _________________ "Modern Agriculture is the use of land to convert petroleum into food."

Mos, thanks for posting that. That's an interesting speech to listen to, both because of the things he was right about and the things he didn't seem to even be aware of.
The idea of "running out" seemed to be his concern, as opposed to supply simply being unable to keep up with demand. As we all now know, we will never "run out", it's just that eventually everyone will be priced out of the market. The last barrel in the ground would have a price no one could pay; thus, it will never be extracted.
If he had been able to get into his time machine and spend a few days in the present reading all of the research and discussion regarding the corrosive effects of high energy prices on the entire world economy, I'm sure that the tone of that speech would have been a lot more dire. _________________
