President Bush Wrote his Energy Plan on Advice from 118 Oil Companies and only 13 Environmental Groups

President Bush has tried to use the issue of high gas prices to push for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve, a move that would be devastating to one of America's greatest natural treasures and do virtually nothing to bring down the price of gas (and absolutely nothing for years to come).

U.S. Dependence on foreign Oil is Rising .

The energy Department projects that the U.S. will increase its dependence on foreign oil to 68 percent by the year 2025 -- up from 55 percent currently.

Cheney Dismissed Conservation as a Solution.

Cheney said the only solution to the reliance on foreign oil is a government-backed push to find new domestic sources of oil and gas, including in protected areas of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and an all-out drive to build power plants.

Bush's budgets Consistently Slash Renewable energy Programs.

Bush's 2002 budget cut funds for renewable energy resources by $190 million.

Bush's 2003 budget reduced funding for renewable energy pro g rams by $35.8 million.
Bush's 2004 budget slashed funding to renewable energy pro g rams by $137 million.
Bush's 2005 budget cut overall energy efficiency and conservation by more than $2 million.

The Answer is NOT Coal – There is no such thing as “Clean Coal”.
