Answer:

How did President Carter respond to the energy crisis in 1979?

Step-by-step explanation:

In a surprising televised speech, which was half a sermon and half a call to the country's mobilization, President Jimmy Carter announced on Sunday an ambitious program aimed at achieving, in the long term, the energy independence of the United States.

Carter insisted that this battle for energy offers Americans the opportunity to unite to overcome the "crisis of confidence" suffered by the nation and represents a serious danger to their democratic institutions.

That was Carter's response to the energy crisis of 1979.
