I like President Carter. If Reagan had not dismantled Carter’s energy plan, the US would be in a better spot today. I have been turning the water off when I brush my teeth, plus the other energy conserving suggestions that my liberal mama told me to do. She learned that from President Carter.

What energy plan was dismantled? Seriously.

This Time article from 1978 goes on about his efforts to switch from natural gas to of all things coal!

So he espoused conservation efforts. Did Reagan come along and set up wasteful energy programs?
