Jimmy CarterThe energy crisis has not yet overwhelmed us, but it will if we do not act quickly. It's a problem that we will not be able to solve in the next few years, and it's likely to get progressively worse through the rest of this century.

By acting now we can control our future instead of letting the future control us.
