Commemorating Admiral Rickover's 1957 speech on energy

Speech to the U.S. House: “Admiral Hyman Rickover, the father of our nuclear navy, gave an amazingly prophetic speech 50 years ago. He noted that we have 8,000 years of recorded history and discussed the extraordinary contribution of energy, particularly oil, to the development of civilization. However, Adm. Rickover noted that oil and all fossil fuels are finite resources that once burned are gone forever.”
