From his speech:
“We must continue changing the way America generates electric power — by even greater use of clean coal technology … solar and wind energy … and clean, safe nuclear power… We must continue investing in new methods of producing ethanol — using everything from wood chips, to grasses, to agricultural wastes.”
But then he said,
“…to further protect America against severe disruptions to our oil supply, I ask Congress to double the current capacity of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. America is on the verge of technological breakthroughs that will enable us to live our lives less dependent on oil.”
Sounds like Bush isn’t talking about less usage as much as he’s talking about where to get the oil (i.e., not from the Middle East). Less than two years left in office and suddenly Bush is an environmental advocate? Doesn’t he just want to chop up our forests and dig in Alaska and wherever else the oil is in the U.S. in the most unrestriced manner possible?
I guess many of you people have no clue that “clean, safe nuclear power” Bush is talking about results in lots of “clean safe” RADIOACTIVE WASTE.
