President Nixon proposes Project Independence to cut oil dependence by 1980 through expanded coal use and coal gasification, with goals to boost domestic energy and reduce imports. Experts including AEC head Dixy Lee Ray doubt full self sufficiency before 1985, while oil remains mostly imported from the Middle East. Alaska’s North Slope oil and Alaska pipeline are cited as future boosts to output.
