"The 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) that banned crude oil export was the closest thing to an energy policy that the United States has ever had.*The law was passed after the price of oil increased*in one month (January 1974) from $21 to $51 per barrel (2015 dollars) because of*the Arab Oil Embargo. The EPCA*not only banned the export of crude oil but also established the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Both measures were intended to*keep more oil*at home in order to make the U.S.*less dependent on imported oil. A 55 mile-per-hour national speed limit was established to*force conservation, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) was founded to better monitor and predict global oil supply and demand trends. Above all, the export ban acknowledged that declining domestic supply and increased imports had made the country vulnerable to economic disruption. Its repeal last week suggests*that there is no longer any risk associated with*dependence on foreign oil."
