Is Energy Really Scarce?
The United States is supposed to be in the
grip of an energy shortage. Yet various experts
in the field insist that our nation is sitting on a
huge sea of petroleum and natural gas. Thomas
P. Medders Jr., president of the Independent
Petroleum Association of America, told a Sen-
ate Committee in 1972 that our recoverable
resources “are in the order of 100 years’ supply
at present rates of U.S. consumption of both
oil and gas.” A 1972 Senate Interior Committee
Report reviewed numerous projections of re-
coverable oil and concluded that Mr. Medders
had significantly underestimated our potential
reserves.
Besides oil and natural gas, the U.S. is richly
blessed with coal deposits. The most conserva-
tive estimate indicates that we have a 400-year
supply at present rates of consumption. “We’ve
got coal coming out our ears,” says Bureau of
Mines chief Dr. Thomas Falkie. And we lead
the world in the use of nuclear power and in
nuclear technology.
The truth is that the widely publicized
shortage is contrived, artificial, and as phony
as a nine-dollar bill.

should go on the market this
week, is the smallest since
1966.
A total of five million
50-pound sacks are to be
harvested, according to the
Texas Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service, compared
to 9.7 million sacks last year.
Prices are already reflecting
the shortages, with jumbo
onions selling for $18 per
50-pound sack and $14 to
$15 for medium onions.
Marketing experts predict
that prices will remain at
that level throughout the
season, possibly rising even
higher.

Government Created the Shortage
What’s going on is deadly serious. Govern-
ment, mostly in the name of over-protecting
birds, fish, air, and water, has so impeded the
workings of the free enterprise system that a
shortage of vital fuels has resulted. Laws,
edicts, executive orders, and judicial decrees
have restricted domestic drilling, blocked off-
shore drilling, delayed the Alaska pipeline,
mandated wasteful anti-pollution devices on
autos, and put a price ceiling on natural gas
that has inhibited production. When coal and
nuclear substitutes were offered by the free
enterprise system, government outlawed much
of the use of coal and is now harassing nuclear
power producers to an early death.
In any discussion of “the energy crisis” by
national leaders, we the people get blamed, not
the government. It is we who must cut con-
sumption, and because we won’t do so voluntar-
ily, we must be forced to do so with taxes,
restrictions, and controls. The government,
which created the problem, now insists that a
huge increase in its power is the solution.
The free enterprise way to handle a shortage
is to produce more goods. The controlled society
way, the Communist or Socialist way, is to
increase taxes, controls, and restrictions, all of
which lead to less production — and to total
government.
The next time someone tries to tell you that
America’s leaders have brought about the en-
ergy crisis deliberately in order to make the U.S.
a Communist or Socialist state, please listen
carefully. Your help is needed to put an end to
this sinister scheme.
If you have a hearing prob-
lem of any kind you owe it
to yourself to have an Elec-
tronic Hearing test made to
find why, and what can be
done to help you before it is
too late. The tests are free
and will only take about 20
minutes of your time. We
check your ears for packed
wax, the tubes that let your
ears breathe, then with the
machine we check your hear-
ing nerve (bone reading), air
conduction (outside sounds),
then measure how much
sound the ear will take. We
can pinpoint your problem and
explain in plain English what
can be done to help you, then
make your own decision. We
never try to high-pressure
you into buying anything.
There are thousands of people
today suffering from hard of
hearingness (even some who
wear hearing aids) just be-
cause they waited too late to
do something about it . . .
don’t let this happen to you.

AUSTIN-The 1977 spring
onion crop will most likely
have everyone in tears - both
the consumer and the
producer - since this year’s
harvest will be almost half
that of 1976, according to
reports from the Texas
Department of Agriculture.
Cool, wet weather
throughout the winter
months have slowed crop
development and normal
cultivation for weed control,
and have slashed yields in the

San Antonio Winter Garden
Behind The Energy Fraud
by John F. McManus
Belmont, Massachusetts — There are only two
basic ways to confront a shortage. The first
way is to produce more goods, and the second is
to accept a reduction in consumption.
Under normal conditions, any shortage will
quickly result in a voluntary redirection of
effort in order to fill the need. The promise of
economic reward is the only stimulus required.
That promise is so compelling, in fact, that it
will even lead to the creation of substitute
products, some of which turn out to be more
practical and even more economical than those
they replace.
Shortages in a free society are always looked
upon as opportunities. As a result, they are
always short-lived and. relatively inconsequen-
tial. But when free men are deprived of the
ability to deal with shortages either by produc-
ing or by improvising, then shortages worsen
and become the rule, not the exception.
