Editorial attacks the Carter energy pledge while condemning Nixon Ford policy for failing to measure oil imports. It notes API understatement of residual fuel oil imports by up to 500000 barrels a day, with government and economists relying on private data. The piece criticizes delays in correcting the error and the abdication of official agencies.
The piece argues that obscure API month-to-month figures and stable oil imports during economic recovery undermine trust in official energy statistics. It warns that rising dependence on imports after the Arab boycott increases vulnerability to boycotts or OPEC price hikes. It notes lack of substantive conservation actions and casts doubt on Carter administration policy solvency.
