This intolerable dependence on foreign oil threatens our economic independence and the very security of our nation. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them.

Every act of energy conservation... is more than just common sense: I tell you it is an act of patriotism.
