Limited supply causing fuel crises, Rickover tells Congress
from
Washington </p>—The cause
,u se mt Ihe country’s energy crisis is
rented frftijher lack of exploration nor
of technical research, Adm.
n > AbilemMi, Rickover told Congress to-
lmas > 5lJ|65 r . but simply because the sup-
Worth, u [y ; limited and demand is sky-
ew is, Foit icjceting.
Spurloci; Ijckover said experts are fail-
. ■ to make clear to the public
' TO - nature is impervious to
$12|62imian demands, to assertions
ial we have a ‘right’ to live in
„ style to which we have be-
1=
come accustomed since the fossil
age began some 30 years ago.
“There are no ‘rights’ that gov
ernment or anyone else can en
force against nature,” said Rick
over, director of naval reactors.
He told a House Interior Com
mittee probe on energy problems
that economists and others still
take pride in the rising consump
tion pattern, praising success on
the basis of how many telephones,
refrigerators and cars each per
son owns.
“What needs to be generally
understood is that nature is com
pletely unconcerned with man, his
needs or his desires,” Rickover
said. “We are in a painful adjust
ment to a world from which we
can neither escape nor control.”
He said Russia seems much
more aware of the importance
of access to energy resources for
all industrial countries.
“Compare her policy of court
ing the Arab oil companies with
our policy of continuing to export
enriched uranium for the sake of
improving our balance of pay
ments position,” Rickover com
mented. “Russia’s new naval
strength in thei Mediterranean
poses a very real threat that she
might succeed in controlling the
Middle East and its oil.”
Seventy per cent of the world’s
oil supplies are in the Middle
East.
Rickover said the Navy must
be the equal of any other navy
in the world if this country’s
sources of energy—including the
projected importation of half the
oil supply within a decade—is to
be protected.
“If we do not have a navy
to insure the safety of our oil
sources and the mear^s of trans
portation, we could j-isk our in
dustrial capacity,” he said.
The admiral said the depend
ence on man made fuels has been
unrealistically exaggerated as a
hope for the future.
Rickover also suggested: Dis
continuance at once of exporting
energy sources this country now
possesses, including coal and en
riched uranium.
—Establish a minimum level
of use for utilities and make it
expensive to use more, creating
incentives to use less rather than
more energy.
—Discourage inefficient uses of
energy, such as construction of
office buildings with no windows
or access to natural light and
which therefore must be heated,
