It's very unusual to see an ex president tear into a sitting president. Carter really has gone into untravelled territory. Carter did however push for alternative fuel sources and less dependency on foreign oil. That's what doomed his ass in the elections. Him being a nuclear expert he knew the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power.
Carter's no softee. He was offered pro football and athletics careers before he became a naval officer. Boxing or wrestling was one of his other accomplishment if I recall.
Carter made major headway in Middle East relation twixt Israel and Egypt a true first but then the mongrels assassinated Anwar Sadat in retaliation.
Carter did more good than bad but his mistake was pissing off the middle east greed barons and oil barons.
He also kept meddling around with the Soviets by thwarting their attempts at putting down Muslim terrorism. We see where that led to. Carter's people initiated the support of Saddam and Bin Laden which then carried on into today.
The Soviets had wanted to stomp the Muslim uprisings flat way backthen but Carter intervened with billions of dollars in support for the Afghani resistance forces.
We see where that went.
