Description

OPEC had been less uncooperative lately, but, as Mr. Buckley puts it, "Anything

the Saudi Arabians can do to be helpful today, they can do in the other direction

tomorrow." A very instructive session with a man who has been involved in the energy industry since the Second World War, who believes passionately that "we in this country should become energy self-sufficient as rapidly as we can," and who offers clear advice on how that goal could be achieved. FP: "We in this country should move in the direction of increasing our oil, our natural gas, and our coal, three large items that [account for] 91 per cent of our total consumption of energy in the United States ... I also believe we should help develop, as much as we can within reason, all types of alternative sources of energy." WFB: "Including nuclear?" FP: "Yes, sir, including nuclear."
