You might recall that the oil shortages of 1976 were caused by the
Carter administration assertion that we would be out of oil by 2000.

Can't say that I do. Do you have a cite for that assertion?

Actually, I recall it as "twenty-five years".

It was much cited around here, where Onassis wanted to build an oil
refinery. No point, went the argument; there would be no oil left in
twenty-five years.

But who in the Carter administration said this, when, and in what
context?
