I voted for Carter twice. There are many reasons that he lost the presidency, including a number of events that were out of his control. It seemed to me that his downfall began with a national address on conserving energy. He was roundly mocked for wearing a cardigan and asking Americans to keep thermostats at 65⁰. I feel that many Americans then and now do not want to hear hard truths about fossil fuels.
Carter left office at age 59, his best days lay ahead of him.
