Dangerous energy crisis seen by Lapp in 1984 call
Washington physicist Ralph E. Lapp warned the United States faces a severe energy crisis that by 1984 could drive consumers to demand more nuclear plants. He said crises could spark a backlash from the hard hat faction, endangering the environmental movement while America grows dependent on foreign energy. He urged minimizing environmental impact, noted imports could reach 20 billion within HW years, and criticized the space shuttle program as costly, suggesting taxpayers could save 19 billion by not building it.
