We have almost incalculable reserves of fossil fuels which could supply our energy needs for hundreds of Years. These are high cost energy sources and as of now private industry can't prudently invest the billions required because of the threat of cheaper energy (from the Mid East for example) wip- ing out the involvement. A tough question, of course, but one we have not faced up to.

We have vast and untapped resources of oil in Alaska and off our Pacific Coast. Efforts to develop some of these supplies have been impeded, delayed and all but eliminated by environmentalists.

Our nuclear energy developments have been reduced to a fraction of their potential by the same environmentalists.

When we decide we are tired of environmentalists, when we find the formula for coping with high cost energy creation, when we decide the price of not having nuclear energy is vastly higher than any conceivable riSk, we will have all the energy we need. This doesn't even reckon with our partially developed thermal power resources, the future potential of solar power, the 25 to 50 to 100 year prospect of fusion which may reshape the whole energy equation.

Our system in 1976 will again produce the same cornucopia of wealth that has increasingly characterized America since its inception.

This (in spite of our building troubles) ain't too shabby.
