Página 105 - the author of these essays, for all his croakings, still hopes and believes that the day is not far off when the Economic Problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and that the arena of the heart and head will be occupied or reoccupied by our real problems — the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behaviour and religion.
Página 13 - Trustees to be elected at said election shall serve for a term of two years, three for a term of four years, and three for a term of six years...

There are other ways, too, in which government can exercise leadership in this field. I urge again, for example, that we allow local officials to use money from Highway Trust Fund for mass transit purposes. Greater reliance on mass transit can do a great deal to help us conserve gasoline. The Federal Government can also lead by example. The General Services...
Página 178 - States comes from three sources: natural gas, coal and petroleum. Each source presents us with a different set of problems. Natural gas is our cleanest fuel and is most preferred in order to protect our environment, but ill-considered regulations of natural gas prices by the Federal Government have produced a serious and increasing scarcity of this fuel. We have vast quantities of coal, but the extraction and use of coal have presented such persistent environmental problems that, today, less than...
Página 187 - FPC's lead and are liberalizing their treatment of research and development expenditures consistent with our changing national energy demands. I am hopeful that this trend will continue and I urge all State utility commissions to review their regulations regarding research and development expenditures to ensure that the electric utility industry can fully cooperate in a national energy research and development effort. It is foolish and self-defeating to allocate funds more rapidly than they can be...

In the longer run, from 1985 to the beginning of the next century, we will have more sophisticated development of our fossil fuel resources and on the full development of the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor. Our efforts for the distant future center on the development of technologies — such as nuclear fusion and solar power — that can provide us with a virtually limitless supply of clean energy. In my 1971 Energy Special Message to the Congress...

Solar radiation is the most abundant form of energy available to man, and is so plentiful that the energy arriving on 0.5 percent of the land area of the United States is more than the total energy needs of the country projected to the year 2000.
Página 186 - For the short-term future, our research and development strategy will provide technologies to extract and utilize our existing fossil fuels in a manner most compatible with a healthy environment. In the longer run, from 1985 to the beginning of the next century, we will have more sophisticated development of our fossil fuel resources and on the full development of the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor. Our efforts for the distant future center on the development of technologies — such as nuclear...

Effective today, I am also suspending direct control over the quantity of crude oil and refined products which can be imported. In place of these controls, I am substituting a license-free quota system.
Página 185 - At the same time, the United States will lose the jobs and capital that those foreign facilities provide. Given these considerations, I believe we must move forward with an ambitious program to create new deepwater ports for receiving petroleum imports. The development of ports has usually been a responsibility of State and local governments and the private sector. However, States cannot issue licenses beyond the three-mile limit. I am therefore proposing legislation to permit the Department of the...
