"There are abundant, untouched oil resources in this country, but they are difficult and expensive to reach—so taxes and controls have made them unreachable. . . Price controls have wrecked the natural gas industry, stopping exploration for new domestic fields. . . There is no 'natural' or geological crisis; there is an enormous political one."

—Ayn Rand, The Ayn Rand Letter, vol. 3, no. 3, Nov. 5, 1973
