Carter was supporting the Synfuels which would have used coal to make oil. Germany did that near the end of WWII. South African used synfuels to make coal into oil back in 1980.

It was the GOP President Reagan that killed the Synfuel Plants in Western KY. By not going with the synfuel plants we set ourselves up to be black mailed again and again by Iran and OPEC.

Today thanks to our lack of planning over the last 7.5 years we are still in the same situation.
So by your reasoning the years that Clinton was in office don't count? By your reasoning the fact that since the Dems came to power in Congress and Nancy Pelosi stood up and promised gas would be cheaper doesn't count? By you reasoning the fact the gas has doubled since they took power doesn't count?
Going back to the Carter years to make a point on fuel? Carter was smarter? Man oh man, yeah his legacy was how great of a President he was! The way the country was thriving because of how smart he was...Lol! Not buying that one.
