[X] Plan: Survive The Shock
-[X]Formulation
--[X]Heavy Industry: (+6 HI Dice) (Required for Competitive Domestic Lithography Machines, Intensive Automotive Production, CNC Machine Building Plants(Stage 2-3) and the Domestic Technologies Industry Target) (+5 Steel, +5 Non-Ferrous Price Shift when Active)
--[X]Services: (+6 SR Dice) (Required for Population Distribution Programs(Stage 3-5), Computerization of Finance, Retraining Programs, Distribution of Professional Services, and the Services Catchup Target)
--[X]20+15% GNP: (10900 RpY)
--[X]Domestic Technologies Industries: (30% MFPG, 35% Capital Goods, 35% Consumer Goods, 10% Agricultural, and 40% Service Sector Valuation Increase)
-[X]Infrastructure
--[X]Housing Construction Efforts: 5 Infrastructure Dice: (850 RpY Modified by Steel Prices)
--[X]Passenger Rail Network(Caucasus): (1 Infrastructure Dice) (180 RpY)
--[X]Rail Electrification: (3 Infrastructure Dice) (480 RpY) (Estimated 120 RpY Return) (-2 Petroleum Fuels)
-[X]Power Plant Construction
--[X](Hydroelectric) Volga Reservoir Systems: (1 Infrastructure dice) (-120 RpY Modified by Steel Prices) (+40 Electricity per Year) (Completion across 1977-1981)

I don't care for it, but following Blackstar's comments about institutional decay if something is unsupported, I am switching to HI/Services.
Consumer computers are not the be-all-end-all. They're a necessary development, yes, but they can afford to be later if it means competitive industry. This is a fundamental foundation we must at least equalthe US on. Furthermore, the HI focus will make the future LI focus more effective.
Beyond that, we need to hold up everything that we want to see develop. That means yes to electrification, yes to HSR, yes to gas turbines, and yes to GEP. Put Bala's brainworms out of your mind and remember to actually do something before entering into political knifefighting. Keep the ball rolling.
The weight of these investments will likely buckle under the oilshock, but there's no avoiding that aspect. What this will allow us to do is to respond to that buckling in an effective manner, and with some cushions of energy to manage the shift.
