Oil industry and the search for progress in a crisis
The piece argues that oil and other industries pursue profits for stockholders rather than national goals. It notes government and industry responses were inadequate, with long-range solutions deferred as crises drive action. It cites 1961 and 1966 reports showing minimal focus on oil shortages and a belief that imports would handle future demand.
