Physicist Ralph E. Lapp told Congress the United States faces a severe energy crisis that could push utilities to build more nuclear plants by 1985. He urged safe plants and warned environmental extremists could threaten progress if they block necessary projects.
U S Defense officials warned that growing foreign oil reliance could threaten economy and security of North America and Europe by 1980. Barry Shillito said Western Hemisphere oil production supports mutual security while fuel costs rise and civilian economy would bear the burden if supplies fail.
A wildcat strike by electric plant workers in Ireland caused a major blackout across the republic on Wednesday. The Electricity Supply Board reported less than a third of normal electricity available while 60 percent of the remaining output was reserved for emergency services, threatening heavy industry with a total shutdown.
Lapp argues against other forecasts and says the United States will import 50 percent of its oil, challenging prevailing market expectations and implying a shift in energy sourcing.
A 1985 projection predicts that by 1998 two thirds of America’s oil needs will be imported. The forecast highlights growing dependence on foreign supplies over the next decade and a half.
