Energy Is Central to American Politics. That All Started with Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter’s presidency made energy a central political issue in the U.S., emphasizing reduced oil dependency and energy conservation. As president, Carter created the Department of Energy, invested in renewable energy, and installed solar panels on the White House. However, his calls for sacrifice and conservation clashed with public sentiment and political opposition, contributing to his one-term presidency. Carter's policies laid the foundation for solar and fracking technologies but highlighted the challenge of balancing energy independence with environmental goals. Critics argue that the failure to address redistribution and sustainable consumption hampers today’s climate and energy strategies, leaving Carter's vision unrealized.
