Therefs no more nonsensical a concept than

i cffgenerate less" as a solution to our

energy crisis.

The nonsense is revealed evidence:

I '1 it teak energy t0. PFOduce everything we

 haVsinthis country. s- 

"Everything-
Since we" producemore thanany other nation,

AmeriCa uses 35% of the wOrld?s energy and

highest standard of living in i

i the racerded' history of man.

Just start listening to the critics of our society,
start generating less energy, and the
plummet begins. . 

. Less production, fewer jobs, lower demand 

for products followed by still further diminished
production and galloping unemployment

until America is eventually reduced to the
hard life.

That is what no-growth critics advocate?
whether they realize it or not.

America?s population is growing and it is going
to take. more -- not less -- energy merely to
maintain our present standard of living..And
the poor are still with us. What of them?
Reduced energy will hurt them the most.

With oil and gas in short supply where will
that energy ccmefrom? 

ltcan come from electricity, generated by
coal -- which won?t come near short supply
for over 500 years. 

And once we?ve dug it we can begin to put
electricity to work in all-the places where it can
be used, and assign to oil and gas those tasks
where nothing else can be.

Coal -- reliable coal is the solution.
But coal can?t be Used unless our

merit!

working. man in the country Would really have
something to worry about; 

And that?s net nonsense. I  i
