One of the most important economic issues of the year was the energy crisis. Cold weather and an increased reliance on electrical facilities combined with a gasoline shortage were made worse by the fighting in the Middle East and the unnecessary waste of gas by most Americans.

Continued Middle East disturbances turned national attention toward the Alaskan pipeline, a controversial source of energy which would pipe billions of gallons of oil to the country at the cost of a disrupted environment. The balance of oil industry competition seemed even more delicate than the balance of nature. Solar energy and nuclear energy seem to hold future possibilities, but practicality and cost must be further investigated. Until then, with prudent uses and continuing research, gasoline will be the main source of fuel with the greatest service at the least cost.
