Reagan didn't want solar panels that is correct but at that time there was no massive legislation calling for them either. Neither the United States nor any other country was seeing an energy crisis. The development and increase in automotives and use of oil errupted and that was what caused alternative fuels to become a hot topic and that was 20 years later.
Your reply is the kind of bullshit lie I expect from Republicans. Thanks for not letting me down.
Are you telling me Carter's energy crisis went away when Reagan got into office?
Are you suggesting we should stop looking into alternative energy now because gas is down to $2 a gallon?
Because Carter had an energy problem. Do you think that went away under Reagan? No fucking way. I even remember him reducing the speed limit to conserve energy.
The GOP will come up with every solution, like slow down when you drive, but they will never come up with a solution to replace gas, because they work for the oil companies.
Carter:
I'm asking you for your good and for your nation's security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel... I have seen the strength of America in the inexhaustible resources of our people. In the days to come, let us renew that strength in the struggle for an energy-secure nation.[64]
