Jimmy Carter's presidency left a lasting impact on U.S. energy policy, advocating for both renewable energy sources like solar power and fossil fuels. His initiatives, including the National Energy Act of 1978 and the Energy Security Act of 1980, reshaped the government's relationship with the energy industry and encouraged energy conservation. Though celebrated as a pioneer in environmentalism, Carter also faced criticism for supporting the development of fossil fuel industries, including fracking, which has implications that continue to influence energy discourse today.
