Very interesting. I never realized Carter was responsible for those things. I'll have to do some research myself.

When you are ignorant, History is a mystery.

When you are ignorant, history is what you want it to be.

        First, Junior said, "This is a problem that's been a long time in coming. We haven't had an energy policy in this country."  </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0503-22.htm">Consider President Jimmy Carter's April 18, 1977 <A target="_new" href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/filmmore/ps_energy.html">speech</A>.  Since it was given nearly three decades ago, when many of the reporters in Bush's White House were children, it's understandable that they don't remember it.  But it's inexcusable that Bush and the mainstream media (which, after all, has the ability to do research) would completely ignore it. 
        It was the speech that established the strategic petroleum reserve, birthed the modern solar power industry, led to the insulation of millions of American homes, and established America's first national energy policy.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2F1FEDDE-E221-4E98-8784-675CA0FE9504/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
