He urged more oil and gas exploration in Texas, warned of deregulated prices, and cautioned energy dependence on external sources.

South Africa faces nuclear questions amid Cape Town plant plan
At Koeberg near Cape Town the plant aims to start in 1983 needing 850 tons of fuel for startup and 240 tons annually. The US reportedly agreed to supply startup fuel, but shipment was frozen over safeguards. Carter backs South Africa signing the non pro liferation treaty as Vorster hints at possible agreement. Skeptics warn of potential bomb capability from enrichment efforts and note South Africa’s strong armed forces and uranium reserves.
