This action could have come sooner.

Altho Carter, in delivering his energy message, summoned up· images of that often forgotten virtue called patriotism, there are still those who are questioning the President's message. But shouldn't we be grateful that somebody has gone out on a limb to start the Congress thinking about energy. Too many times in recent history have the President and the Congress huddled on energy, only to line up, and then sit on the ball as if they were waiting for the clock to run out because they had the advantage in the game.

We should know well enough by now that the advantage is not ours when it comes to the energy crunch. We must act now to budget our present energy use so that we can provide for our future needs. It is a fact that our energy resources are finite, yet we consume them as if there were no tomorrow.

That is why conservation makes better sense right now than tapping all of our reserves and developing all of our unused re­ sources like oil shale. There are great savings to be had from conscious conservation--an untapped energy reserve that re­ quires little money to develop.

Certainly there are taxes associated with the development of the President's proposed energy plan, but those are intended to penalize the energy monger and to reward those who con­ serve. Economic incentives are often just what it takes to moti­ vate an American.

It is too bad that government must at this time regulate our energy consumption with taxes, tax credits and other economic incentives. But here is an example of a situation in which regu­ You're in good hands with Jimmy lation is necessary to compensate for the inaction of seve;al lazy Congressional sessions, and a nation committed to squan­ de~ng energy.
