Thanks Razor, it appears that Pres Carter had an excellent grasp of the situation.

As you say, with relatively cheap gas, not too many cared to listen, fewer still would care to act. It would have been interesting if they could have gradually and predictable raised taxes on gas over the past 30 years, so that we would be better prepared now, with more public transit, more conservation, etc. It's tough to make big changes in a short time.
