The OPEC oil embargo completely stopped the exports of oil to the United States. The decision was taken by the 12 members of OPEC on October 19, 1973, in retaliation for the U.S. decision to re-supply the Army of Israel. What happened then was that <u>oil prices quadrupled</u> in the subsequent months. The embargo ended in March 1974.
After the embargo, the United States set in motion measures to conserve and develop domestic energy sources. The government created the <u>Strategic Petroleum Reserve</u> and limited the speed in highways to 55-miles-per-hour.
You will want to consider the author's point of view in light of the fact that she may profit from the building project.
Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.
Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.
