Remember Nixon's Project Independence?
Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.
check this out from Nixon in 1974:
“Let this be our national goal: At the end of this decade, in the year 1980, 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.”
The feds aren’t going to save us on this one. We have to save ourselves.
