Backstage the Europeans were pressing for a pledge that all the industrial countries freeze oil imports through 1985 at last year's level. Unfair, protested Carter's aides. By drawing on increasing output from North Sea wells (expected to nearly double from last year to 1985), the Europeans could freeze imports from outside the Community and still burn more petroleum than ever. In the U.S., where domestic oil output has been declining (down about 700,000 bbl. a day since 1972), a freeze on imports would cause more hardship.

Nice view of an electric power plant across the Cape Cod Canal, though...
