Even Ronald Reagan Wanted Us to Become Energy Self-Sufficient

Look at this Ronald Reagan presidential campaign ad from 1980. In it, he says:
This is a great country, but it’s not being run like a great country. Look at these heating bills. Many families pay hundreds of dollars a month. Others go without heat. We must eliminate restrictive controls and use more of our domestic oil and natural gas. And we must use all our technology to become self-sufficient in energy so no one can blackmail us. This is a great country. It’s time to start running it like a great country.
Yes, I know, Reagan would probably be a drill-baby-driller today but at least he recognized the need to become energy self-sufficient and who knows, over time, he may even have embraced wind and/or solar.
