Abstract
In this speech presented on 13 March 1974 at the invitation of Roosevelt University in Chicago, he talked about the consequences of the oil price crisis for the energy supply of industrial and developing countries. Judging from his experience so far, the general public neither in Europe nor in the US had sufficiently understood that the crisis represented a turning point where different behaviour and a policy of energy saving, as well as the exploration of new energy sources, would be necessary.
