Carter's Speech

YELLOW

What is the real threat to America is, according to Carter, and is that threat still with us today?

He explained that America has a lack of confidence and we are beginning to loose faith in our country and who is running it. Believing that our Nations resources were limitless. Then we realized we are consuming 40% more energy then we produce which equals inflation and unemployment. Yes, I do think these treats/ problems that he speaks of are still with us today. I think that they are probably worse then then before.

Summarizing what Carter is saying about American society, and analzying America today against his critique.

What Carter said about our society us that people are no longer as hard working as they once were. They are much more lazy and don't care as much as the did. People no longer look at other people for what they do but for what they own. I think America today is just like he explained it.




GREEN

Comparing his plan to confront an energy crisis with President Obama's plan. How do the plans differ, and how are they alike? How do their plans real what they think the problem really is?

Carters plan was to cut back 50% of the foreign oil that they took in. The he wanted to get funds to go towards other sources of fuels like coal, oil shale, the sun. He wanted to make the Nations first solar bank which was working towards having his goal of 20% of things solar power. Obama's plans are selling crude oil to lower gas prices as a short term plan. As a long term plan he is going to allow only a limited amount of drilling. Much like Carter through Obama's plans are still to make more fuel-efficient like new cars. The problems are all centered around fuel and how more things need to become solar powered.
