Energy developers first began arriving in droves in 1973, when OPEC hiked its prices fourfold and jolted the nation's oil and gas companies into searching for additional supplies. Jimmy Carter gave the developers a big assist in 1979 when he announced his intention to tap the region's energy supplies by setting up an Energy Mobilization Board to speed up the building of refineries, pipelines, coal mines and synthetic fuel plants.
