We had long lines at the gas pumps in 1972. Our government knew then that we were dependent on foreign oil.

Despite Republicans being in charge of things for a while (Reagan, Nixon, Bush I and II), nothing has yet been done about our dependency on foreign oil.

Who can we get into office that will accomplish what needs to be done?

"We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now, we can control our future instead of letting the future control us."
"The most important thing about these proposals is that the alternative may be a national catastrophe.
-President Carter

Ronald Reagan's first official acts of office included removing Jimmy Carter's solar panels from the roof of the White House, and reversing most of Carter's conservation and alternative energy policies.
