That is a commendable-indeed, indispensable-goal. But some of Carter's chosen methods are debatable. The program largely bypasses the supply and demand workings of a free economy. Instead, the presidential plan relies heavily on rewards and penalties, to be dealt out mainly through a complex scheme of taxes and rebates. "Voluntary compliance is not enough," said Carter.

...main problem with The Selfish Gene is that it distorts a subject which is controversial enough when dealt with honestly and factually--as I said in my review.

"We are going to have to make do with what we have," he declared. "There will be no fusion reactor, no breeder reactor, there will be no solar-electric energy, only those fuels currently available will generally be around." Schlesinger candidly explained the Administration's decision to de-emphasize breeder research...
