Summary: On November 8th, 1977, President Jimmy Carter made a televised address to the US nation on the subject of energy. There was a crisis. Political tensions had resulted in an embargo on oil exports from the Middle East, on whose output much of the industrial world then relied. The price of oil, which had been unchanged in real terms since the Second World War, trebled in little over a year. Carter acknowledged America's dependency on oil and outlined a range of measures to encourage energy saving, new fuels, and the production of electricity from renewable sources: for the first time these would include solar and wind power on a large scale.
