Answer: a reduction in foreign energy dependence.

Explanation: Carter's late-1970s energy program stressed conservation, energy efficiency, development of domestic and alternative energy sources (and reducing reliance on imported oil). He did not seek to reduce foreign oil supplies or increase overall U.S. energy use; while some policies moved toward allowing market pricing to encourage production/conservation, the primary goal was lowering dependence on foreign energy.
