Thank you roachboy and host for the above articles. Both provided information that I wasn't aware of at the time.
A personal aside: I was one of the majority of Americans' that was looking for an "honest" president and voted for Carter. I was apolitical at the time so I never gained a full appreciation of Carter's administration and for the foresight he had in tackling the energy problems of the nation. In the early 80's, we installed solar panels and insulated windows to our home using the tax credits that I now learn were created by Carter's energy policies.
It boggles my mind to imagine where we might be today had Carter's energy policies not been scuttled by Reagan. I doubt Iraq would hold any more interest than a minor question on a geography exam in high school.
