"WHEN THE prices were held ar-
tificially low," Pack said, "the
producers went after cheap, foreign
oil." The result was a decline in further
domestic production and more gas-
guzzling automobiles, he said.
On the other hand, said Pack, when
the price of energy rises, there is an in-
crease in production and the actual use
of the energy drops because of the cost.
"People are becoming more energy
conscious," because of recent price
rises, he said.
THE NATIONAL Wildlife
Federation, a prominent environmen-
tal group, would prefer "a more even-
handed approach" to freeing the
market, "with emphasis on conser-
vation," said Joan Habib, the director
.of the energy division at the NWF.
"The (Reagan) energy plan falls far
short" in many areas, said Habib of the
NWF. There is still a large amount of
subsidization of some areas while
several conservation policies have been
eliminated, she said.
THE COUNTRY must first find out
how much energy it really needs by cut-
ting waste, before further non-
renewable resources are explored,
Habib said. Meanwhile, renewable
sources of energy, such as solar and
wind power should be further explored,
she said. The United States is about 51
percent energy efficient, according to
Tek.
"More progress in the area of con-
servation has taken place than in the
area of finding moe energy," said
Prof. Ross. The statements about fin-
ding more energy are only a "drop in
the bucket," toward solving the
nation's energy problems, he said, and
they are mostly attempts at public
relations.
There is no energy crisis, said Prof.
Tek, "the only crisis has been a lack of
leadership in this country." We have
needed somebody with the guts to turn
this country around, and now it looks
like such a person is in office, he said.
THE PREVIOUS administration split
the country in two, with one group ac-
cusing the other of stealing from them,
Tek said, and the windfall profits tax is
the result of that division.
TECHNOLOGY IS capable of drilling
and still preserving the environment,"
he said, and "to use accidents as a
reason to not progress is not only foolish
but suicidal."
"A resource not being used is not a
resource," said Tek, and that is the
rationale in favor of leasing public lan-
ds for energy exploration. "James Watt
(Secretary of the Interior) is a good
man," said Tek, but he is being made a
scapegoat by environmental groups.
"It is just as wrong to ignore progress
in the name of the environment as it is
to ignore the environment in the name
of progress," said Tek. "There is
calculated risk in everything," he said.
"Oil companies have been the whip-
ping boy" for quite some time, said
Pack, because the public is misinfor-
med about how they do business.
Executives do not metamorphosize into
monsters when they join an oil com-
pany, he said.

'WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'
Psalm 2:1 and Acts 4:25
Jonah ran away from God's commandment. On being brought face to face
with the fact that his disobedience was the cause of a convulsion of nature, a
storm at sea, and the wind and waves would destroy the ship and its cargo of
human beings as well as material things, he judged himself worthy of death
and asked to be thrown overboard! Judged himself worthy to die, and
insisted the sentence be carried out! is not this the experience of every soul
that has been convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit? Indeed, it is! Christ said the
Comforter, The Holy Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness, and
judgment! - John 16:7, etc.
It doesn't take long to read the Book of Jonah, but beware lest the wisdom
of men - foolishness with God - cast you out into a raging sea and wind
and waves of unbelief and you are swallowed up in the belly of "That Old
Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." Only
the records of Eternity will reveal how many souls are in hell because they
stumbled In unbelief, were swallowed up and landed in the belly of The Great
Dragon because they could not believe God Almighty could work a small
miracle like this!
God preserved Jonah and kept him alive. In the belly of the fish. In his
prayer of repentance when Jonah said: "I WILL PAY THAT THAT 1 HAVE
VOWED. SALVATION IS OF THE LORD," then it was that "THE LORD SPAKE
UNTO THE FISH, AND IT VOMITED OUT JONAH UPON DRY LAND." After his
deliverance the first message that came to Jonah from The Lord was: Go to
Nineveh and do what I told you to do." Nineveh was a great city of three days
journey. Jonah made one day's journey, crying: "YET FORTY DAYS, AND
NINEVEH SHALL BE OVERTHROWN!" Then things began to happen, from
the King on down to the beasts!
"SO THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH BELIEVED GOD, AND PROCLAIMED A
FAST, AND PUT ON SACKCLOTH, FROM THE GREATEST OF THEM EVEN
UNTO THE LEAST OF THEM. FOR WORD CAME UNTO THE KING OF
NINEVEH, AND HE AROSE FROM THE THRONE, AND HE LAID-HIS ROBE
FROM HIM, AND COVERED HIM WITH SACKCLOTH, AND SAT IN ASHES
....AND GOD SAW THEIR WORKS, THAT THEY TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL
WAY: AND GOD REPENTED OF THE EVIL THAT HE HAD SAID HE WOULD
DO UNTO THEM: AND HE DID NOT." As a result of the preaching of the man
who judged himself worthy of death for disobedience to God, the wickedness
of Nineveh was overthrown, and they were spared the pronounced judgment
of God.
The men of Nineveh have shown us the way to avoid judgments and
change times. "BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE
LORD," said Joshua, 24:15.
