President Carter speaks to the American people about the importance of an energy policy that focuses on conservation of the nation's natural resources and a new energy department. Carter also addresses his ideas to improve the economy and reduce the size of government.
February 2nd, 1977
His speeches are relaxing.
He said we would be out of oil world wide by the mid eighties. You have been played.
Depressing
I believe he sincerely wanted to make things better, but those were terrible times.
Why has this message not been put on daily repeat for the last few decades? The energy crisis never truly ended and has only gotten worse.
Agreed 👍
That energy crisis ended when he left. America went back to lower taxes and drilling was encouraged. Jimmy got caught up in the green energy bullshit and had to reverse course to drill again once the oil crisis hit. But at that time it was already too late and the damage had been done. Biden is too big of a moron to change course like jimmy did. Were stuck with high gas prices for a very long time thanks to this disaster of a presidency
I'm Oilfield hand remember these speeches.
Americans couldn’t handle being told they should try conserving energy lol
@@nev12345678910 Conservation will be achieved through higher prices. If the price of gasoline doubles, conservation will be achieved. Higher prices eventually bring higher production, as energy producers don't leave money on the table.
Carter was a good president in my opinion.
He was the first president to at least try to fight the inevitable future dependance on foreign oil.
He imagined that solar power might be a solution, as was illustrated by the symbolic placement of solar panels on the white house.
I can see energy independence being achieved if we built thorium based nuclear reactors. Look up LFTR it's a great idea, and solves so many problems.
Trump achieved energy independence
@@Ho-mb2wb how
ROTFLMAO
I support and will obey Jimmy Carter forever!
He's like Mr. Rogers, except scolding us for using too much energy and we must sacrifice.
Worst president ever. Blamed American people. Made America a doormat to Iran. Go fuck your self jimmy Carter. Piece of shit
This very quality is what I think hurt him in a quiet way. Carter wanted a partnership with citizens. We wanted to be an administrator, not an imperial leader..sadly, many did not agree and elected Reagan, not just for this of course, but this was one of many unstated annoyances people had with him.
@@jackeppington6488 I will say this much: Carter was a good man and had good intentions, unlike many current politicians. While a good man, he was still a horrible president, and his policies during his presidency led to his demise.
@@jackeppington6488 When he said the words sacrifice he was finished as president. Reagan knew the key to being president is to tell Americans they can have whatever they want.
started with Reagan. And I think we will be paying for the deregulation of the financial sector and other actions like union busting for a very long time to come.
Carter is the only living prez that I will be sad for when he passes on - although hopefully he will be going to better things then:-) great video and comments and sorry for my 'run-on' comment!
Nothing like an "efficient" fireplace to drive the message home.
Jimmy Carter is a national treasure. I really wonder what our country would be like if his ideas caught hold while he was president, but people couldn't handle the idea of giving up modest comforts to help their fellow man.
Ya... He had really great ideas, same sort of ideas that Obama and all the libtards have, drain us and help others. Screw that
Carter is a national treasure, and Biden can put together a coherent sentence.
@@metalEric69my thought exactly. Carter lied to the American people and said we’d be out of oil by the mid eighties. Fast forward 50 years laters we were energy independent and have enough to last us 5 centuries. We also have federal reserves that Biden has depleted that will be needed in the event of a war. Carter and Biden are just liars and use hyperbole to scare the electorate.
If only we had listened to Carter back then
I was 10 years old when Jimmy Carter made this speech. I remember that my family, black Americans who voted Democrat in every election, were so angry about this speech. I find it hilarious that almost 50 years later there are still people who talk about Jimmy Carter and his wife as though they were saints, especially during the recent obsequies for Rosalyn Carter. The problem is the Carters may be nice people but the vast majority of Americans don't vote someone to be President to be nice. We want somebody in the White House who solves problems and, more importantly, prevents future problems by avoiding ill-considered public policies. Carter's poor performance was the single biggest factor in Reagan's crushing victory in November 1980.
30+ years later, and his successors still have made NO attempt to address the future of our energy. People can say whatever they want about Carter, but he was ABSOLUTELY right about energy.
Thank you posting this. Carter was an amazingly different President. I wish I was old enough to really remember when he was President (I was born in 1973).
Yeah same here, I was born in 1975 and I have no memory of Carter or even solid memories of the late 70s, just vague cloudy memories. Reagan was the first President I remember, I remember him getting shot in 1981. But Carter was so ahead of his time, he got made fun of for putting solar panels on the White House. I guess people thought it wasn’t a manly thing to do. But today, all the macho tough guys that I know vote Republican are putting up solar panels on their houses.
I was born in 1971 ( I’m gonna be 52 this coming May) ! Even though was such a little tyke , I remember President Carter very well
ROTFLMAO
You remember Carter? I was born in 1975, we're around the same age, but I have ZERO memory of Jimmy Carter. The first President I clearly remember was Reagan, I remember him getting shot in early 1981 when I was 5 years old. But growing up, I knew Carter was a "recent President", and around when I was a toddler, young young child, along with Gerald Ford when I was being born.
Your sweeping statement about socialism ignores the fact that many countries with historically high living standards would be considered socialist from an American point of view.
Rockin' the sweater like a boss
Damn Jimmy Carter looks like he came from Fred Rogers shows.
Watch the malaise speech too. He is in better physical shape here. Interesting what 2.5 years of presidential stress does to a guy.
He aged 25 years in 4 years. Then afterwards he Stopped Aging. He looks now the same as he did in 1981.
@@timothyfrantz9443 he has aged considerably in the past 3 or 4 years. He didn't travel to Biden's inauguration.
Carter popped the OPEC price bubble - which made the Reagan recovery possible.
He seldom gets credit for that - but it was arguably his greatest accomplishment as president, and the hardest.
The problem is with an apathetic, lazy and entitled populace. Our political parties are merely a reflection of that. They do make a good scapegoat for mindless populism, though.
Props to you, fella. This comment has aged like Scotch.
Mindless populism? Let me guess, you're a new world order, wef, Soros and Klaus freak. You're just a pawn, used by the big bankers, big banking families who want the wealth only in the upper class and wanted to destroy the middle class.
Man prophesied
I remember the Winter of 76/77.
Deregulation in the 1980s helped the fledgling personal computer industry as well as the internet boom in the next decade. Clinton and Reagan both deserve credit.
Jimmy Carter was an intelligent individual and good president. He had his fair share of mistakes, but history should view him more favorably overall.
he was big government and you know it.
What does that freakin mean?
39 years ago --- "energy shortage is permanent " he said.2016 --- energy glut
Energy glut is temporary, but the long-term problems remain.
@@DavidKlausa The glut ends, then higher prices, then higher production, then lower prices. Let the price of gas double -- this would bring conservation and more production of energy products.
Carter was to honest to be the President. He done a darn good job!
Clearly Jimmy Carter thought the American people would always accept the FDR style fireside chat speeches. But, Americans didn't want a reality check, they wanted to feel great again regardless of the hard reality. Reagan made a lot of people feel great again. No pun intended to Trump. Ironically Democrats loved the fireside chat style Biden used at The Democratic National Convention, yet they never really liked hearing that style from Carter.
Yea. Everyone wants to hear that their big strong leader can solve all of America's problems. Nobody wants to hear that change is difficult and requires sacrifices and work
Biden is a National Disaster!
@chris falkenberg Job 4:08: As I have seen. Those who plow iniquity sow trouble, and shall reap the same.
This was a mistep on Carter’s part. What worked in the 1930s wasn’t going to work in the late 1970s. To the long haired hippies of the 70s, this must of have looked really old fashioned. It’s like today if a politician only sent his message on TV or radio spots like in the 1970s, and didn’t use social media.
Nice man Bad Leader.
@yorkiebell
Too bad he was also into big government, more controls into our lives.
@moonsugar1 :) To be fair, he's no spring chicken, but he's still out there, changing the world :D
A fireside chat.
President Jimmy Carter seemed a bit out of touch with the late 1970s, doing this "fireside chat" like it was the 1930s and 40s. He should have done a TV spot on the tennis court, on the beach, or even in the White House wearing jeans, a knit shirt and Nike cross trainers, that would have been in more step with the times than doing this Franklin D. Roosevelt imitation.
@incrediblehulkmovies Not entirely... If you watch Obama's addresses they are not focused on citizen cooperation like our friend Carter. Obama's address is policy based where they will create policies to combat it. Carter alternatively focuses on citizens cooperation to combat it. They are going for the same thing but they are not singing the same tune.
Mister Rodgers!!!! ...oh wait
This was how many years ago? And we still don't have a coherent energy policy. Coal is pretty much off the table now. With the problems of Fukujuma, the future of nuclear energy is in doubt. Solar power is not yet affordable. Wind power can only be relied upon for a small percentage of our needs.
@moonsugar1 Jimmy Carter is still alive...
He is the best human we have ever had as President. Bless him.
Definitely not…
Ulysses S. Grant
The economy was emerging from recession in 92. The recovery wasn't complete, but things were improving. Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation on 8/10/93. The economy took a nose dive and Americans elected a Repub majority in both the House AND Senate in 1994 giving them control of Congress for the first time in 40+ years. Conservative budget priciples brought properity. The Repubs became corrupt and gave up those principles after 9/11. Facts are stubborn things. Registered IND in '04
I switched in '03 for similar reasons. In 2012 i quit voting altogether.
Real mature response.
Your name suits you well!!!
How tragic that this opportunity for the US to make a big change on time was missed. We can but hope they finally learned and manage to catch up on time!!!
I disagree. Government that won't do fuck all about the problems facing it's citizens is pointless. I'm not saying I'm for dictatorship or anything, just a government that actually tries to solve problems rather than ignoring them and hope they'll go away. After all, that's why we pay taxes, we're paying the government to solve problems we ourselves can't. If they just sit around and do nothing, then it's a waste of our money. If I'm paying for the government, I want to get my money's worth.
Interesting that he mentions coal as an alternative to crude oil. I do recall reading rather serious articles about it.
Wow. Saying the Energy shortage is Permanent was not a good thing to say.
It was a true thing to say.
Bronwyn Beistle It cost him the election. His job was to fix it.
The president can’t magically fix something like that. Even when he tried to propose an alternative source of energy, he was opposed by congress.
@@BHill-rz9tg Unless it's Bush right? If Bush is president then he should be able to magically fix it and the energy crisis would be his fault.
Very good. I see you know where Europe is. Now for extra points go find the northern European countries, which, for decades, have been near the top in living standards and social commitment.
And, while enjoying your schadenfreude at the current Euro fortunes, do acknowledge the masterful hand Wall St had in aiding their misfortunes.
Oh, let's not forget that almost every intelligent economist has stated that austerity is the wrong strategy in a severe recession.
Right, from the predominant economic standpoint that growth is the goal, of course austerity is at odds with that. But growth is not an indefinitely sustainable model. We simply will run out of resources.
President Jimmy Carter seemed a bit out of touch with the late 1970s, doing this "fireside chat" like it was the 1930s and 40s.

Joe Biden makes you nostalgic about Jimmy Carter's disastrous tenure
Barrack? Isn't that a form of military accommodation?
Both did some good things, both did some bad things. The President is really just a face on the government to give us a scapegoat.
Poor Carter. He should've had a second term. He was so right. The 1970s where a time when energy crisis was looming, They had the worst energy crisis in history up until the 2000s because everyone was wasteful, driving V8 muscle cars and trowing herion neddles in the streets. The 1970s was a hard time regardless of what the nostalgia would tell you. All those men coming home from Veitnam hooked on the local junk, urban decay, gas crisis.
@thejarz On a totally unrelated topic, I should probably you that your suicidal elmo video, made me spit coffee over my screen with laughter ;)
$10/gal is expensive but that's not pushing it into rich people only territory. Although the car taxes in some countries are outrageous.
But the supposed freedom of a car really depends on where you live. Traffic congestion is so bad that owning your own auto is a huge expense for not a great deal of convenience.
Many places have such good car-sharing options - pick up from anywhere and return to almost anywhere that it's smarter to use that and public transit rather than owning your own auto
Less government is better.
Of course these are things we "should've done years ago," this speech was in 1977.
I truly hope your just joking around.
Socialism = Cuba, Vietnam, USSR, Mao's China, North Korea, etc.
Social Democracy = Sweden, Germany, UK, Canada, etc.
and denmark and norway and finland
@AmericanRuffian
Too bad, he is a CFR member and will not get my support.
Turn off the lights cause we ain’t got no fuel
@kalinga01
By having more government into our lives is the wrong choice.
President Carter thank you for your service....Thank you Biden for making sure a good man would not be labeled the WORST president in HISTORY!!!
Explain how he was the worst?
He gave away the Panama Canal.
Gas prices soared during his Presidency so far that they hit two dollars a gallon in 1980. That was almost thirty years ago.
Iran was a thorn in our side even then and they took seventy hostages from the US Embassy in Teheran. Carter supposedly sent troops to rescue them but it turned out very badly.
Carter was solely responsible for the biggest hike in inflation in forty or more years!
he was terrible that's why he lost in a landslide
Peter Navarro brought me here. hehe
Cute president cute thoughts on energy conservation for his nation.........If people like him not born to govern a country then really world will lose a great leader taking a nation in confidence telling them methods to save energy.......Great person like him can do that.........Great J. Carter....President of USA.
The Saudis keep getting richer while our own oil reserves are kept out of production and people in the oil industry are losing their jobs.
I'm sure health care, along with many other issues (Don't ask Don't Tell, raising income taxes on Soc Sec benefits, flat economy, stock market dip, etc.) was a big factor in the Republican victory. That doesn't prove sound fiscal policy wasn't a major factor in late 90's prosperity. Send me those links (factCheck and CBO). I'd be interested in reading them.
in europe they paying $10 for a gallon of gas! Only the rich could afford to drive. I hate being forced to use public transportation. I cant go anywhere, at anytime and change routes. Buses and trains can only travel on a certain route and I have to wait for it to arrive. In my car, I can go anywhere at anytime and go directly to where I want to go and turn back if I want. Not even the best public transportation could do that.
If he had more energy in his body maybe he wouldn’t have appeared so weak.
and reagan refused to sign the LOST treaty.
Wow. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, has changed in this country since this speech was given. We're still hopeless.
Right- so hopeless that the US is THE NUMBER 1 COUNTRY TO IMMIGRATE TO IN THE WORLD!!!!
@yorkiebell
But carter was about more taxes, more regulation and more controls.
A good heart, but no understanding of how Washington worked. Disliked from members of his own party.
Cadillac helped by continuing to build the biggest gas guzzlers they could
Hahaha, nice one, JGMagoo!!
Nice guy I am sure, just not a strong leader
Yeah.. One surely have to go on a mass killing rampage to prove himself to be a strong leader??
Yep, create a new gov department. That’s the solution. “The energy crisis is permanent.” Not exactly an optimist was he. And since then The Clean Air Act cleaned up LA, the US was energy independent under Trump, and gas prices were the lowest in 40 years. Carter was I. Way over his head.
Lelandro42, fact check 1978 a gallon of gas was .65 cents!!! (DO YOU RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH).... A gallon of gas was 65 cents in 1978.......
@@JerseyShoreChris That's 3.21 a gallon in January 2024, which is somewhat cheaper than what I pay currently.
@jawmo1
Got that right.
@thejarz Then I shall take that comment and with it bake a nice humble pie! My only excuses being Im British and a musician. lol
I really can't even begin to put what you typed into a logical and flowing thought. So you think Obama is or is not a savior? Your last sentence is hard to follow.
Gee 2021 with Biden: That 70's show with jumps in food prices and gas lines --only real... Jimmy the 2nd Biden.
What accomplishments...they do not outweigh his massive failures. He was an inexperienced man from Georgia, a farmer. He became governor and was suddenly president. A sort of similar story to Sarah Palin actually...the point is he did a lot of horrible things.The Iran crisis, the huge gasoline crisis, the economic crisis...you understate all this and overstate a stupid energy policy. Yes, he did his best. But his best wasn't enough for America at that time, and that is the truth of it.
WRONG.
The 1980's ended the energy crisis.
Star for the punks, no future...
Ah...Jimmy Carter and the late 70s.
He would put on a swaeter, sit by the fire, and lecture the American people about how much we sucked.
Worst president of the last 90 years until Brandon showed up.
I like Jimmy Carter, but he was a failure as president and that damn sweater made him look even more like a looser
*Loser
He was Big government.
Not compared to Reagan, now there was a guy who knew how to grow the government!
Reagan is terrible Carter is Awesome.
No longer the worst President
Yep. I never thought I would see the day where we would get a president worse than this guy. Starting at a future date post 2024, Instead of saying "worse than carter or" "uh oh this could be another Carter presidency" it will be "worse than Biden" or "Uh oh this could be another Biden presidency" Jimmy is finally off the hook. Joe is being cemented as the worst president in modern history. A complete Imbecile and slime of a human being too. At least Jimmy was a good man.
@@PwoodrowI idk which one has less energy. Wait a min, I do lol
@@KidFriendlyGaming Joe is going to demand that we endure 4 more years of his war on fossil fuel. By then gas will be 10 dollars a gallon and there will still be no green energy to power the economy like he promises. The only difference will be that he will be campaigning with a cane, or a walker and mumbling even more incoherently. Relax, he has it all under control!
@@PwoodrowI my whole thing is we're consuming the gas no matter what green policy we want to have. It's cheaper and greener to produce it locally than to pay someone else and have it imported. So why the f are we doing this to our own ppl??? Unless it's intentional harm on our own economy...
@@KidFriendlyGaming You can pursue green energy and simply not put your thumb on the scale of the oil and gas industry. Remove the burdensome regulations (not all) and onerous taxes and simply leave it alone. You can then give subsidies and encourage clean energy all you want, nobody is against it. Waging war on a precious commodity that we all need to sustain our lives and economy is completely insane. Especially when you know that the country cannot function on windmills and solar panels.
Bullshit.
Better big government then do nothing government.
Big governments don't do anything except spend other people's money.
John Nastrom On services for those people.
What countries would those be? Would that be the thriving democratic socialist nation of Greece that is experiencing almost daily riots due to its collapsing economy? Or would that be Spain or Portugal who are next in line to fail after Greece? Italy isn’t far behind. George Soros says the Euro is a bubble about to burst within the next few months. The UK has implemented austerity measures. Iceland is losing population due to its miserable economic future.
not only hopeless but in danger of being over-ran by islam.
you think you sound so smart by calling our president Monkey? Do you feel important making comments like this on youtube?
Carter was a terrible president. Thank goodness Reagan came along in 1980.
What! 😤
Sent in private message
Like Biden today, clueless!
No 😤
are true, not is true. And Both of your statements are false. THey were installed and removed.
This reminds me of Biden
Ew no
Total robotoid.
Carter was incompetent and awful.
Get a life, the rich should go to jail.
What a disaster President
Boo 😒
