Dear President Carter,

Your plan to conserve energy will help the country a lot. The inflation and oil prices are causing higher prices of everyday items. People are being asked to drive less, which reduces their freedom, but America has to pay the price to get the oil needed to drive. The Arab countries America is getting oil from is raising prices since less is being bought, but we need to pay the prices since we have no other way to get oil. The country is desperate for other energy products, so the Department of Energy is a good idea for our country. The country should support this program to improve economy problems and gain alternate energy in America.
