“The energy crisis has not yet overwhelmed us, but it will if we do not act quickly.

We must not be selfish or timid if we hope to have a decent world for our children and grandchildren. We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now we can control our future instead of letting the future control us.” IfsWorldYearsChildrenProblemAbleNextEnergyActingCenturyBalanceDemandResourcesOur ChildrenCrisisSolveSelfishAlternativesDecentOur FutureGrandchildrenOverwhelmedShrinkingChildren And GrandchildrenBeing SelfishEnergy CrisisActing Now Author:Jimmy Carter
