You do one thing great. You take individual points out of context and exaggerate them. Maybe that’s technically two things.

Carter had no idea what was happening. Carter was a nuclear submarine officer. He wanted more nuclear plants. He thought it was the future and was better for the envirment than fossil fuels. He did have the foresight to see the problem of being dependent on foreign oil, because of the embargo. But it had nothing to do with having a crystal ball predicting terrorism from the Middle East. But the problem was the technology at the time wasn’t even close to making that possible.

Also, truth is, we had enough of our own oil that we didn’t have to deal with the Middle East. But, OPEC collapsed our domestic production with prices so low we couldn’t dare compete.
