If there’s a lot of skepticism about the energy crisis, one reason may be that Americans have grown tired of hearing someone cry “wolf” every time anew man-made beast comes down the road. But this wolf is real, and it isn’t just “coming down the road.” It’s here. For years we, the rural electric systems of America, warned that a crisis in energy was heading toward us. Now, however, we can’t afford to sit on our hands and say smugly, “I told you so.” We have to lead in conserving our electrical energy while we redouble our cooperative energy—to help our nation achieve, at long last, a realistic energy policy—-to keep this wolf from our door.

When they say "drug,” do they mean narcotics, or the innumerable non narcotic substances that are called drugs? The preservatives used in our foods are defined as drugs, yet people don't raise a fuss about them. When they say "addiction,” do they mean things that cause a physiological dependency? Coffee and tea are addictive, yet there is no national movement to abolish them. To effectively deal with a problem, it must be defined and comprehended. It is time to define terms and isolate the issues.
