Guess the speaker...
1. “Let this be our national goal: At the end of this decade, in the year xxxx, the United States will not be dependent on any other country for the energy we need to provide our jobs, to heat our homes, and to keep our transportation moving.”
2. “I am inaugurating a program to marshal both government and private research with the goal of producing an unconventionally powered virtually pollution free automobile within five years.”
Nixon.
I realize every politician has said this in one way or another.
Only Carter and Obama brought us to our knees in desperation trying to do it with no clear alternative. Obama makes Carter look good though.
