During the oil crisis in the USA there was shortage of fuel. Jimmy Carter's response was to request that the nation conserve fuel. He put on a sweater and announced on TV that he was turning his thermostat down to 55. He also got Congress to enact the Crude Oil Excess Profits Tax, actually an excess tax on crude oil.

Imposed a "windfall profits tax" on oil companies which did nothing to increase supply but was a "windfall" for the govenment.

He asked people to conserve energy. As an example, he turned down the thermostats in the White House and installed solar panels on its roof.
