Bush Wants New ‘Strategy’ to Ease U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil

In his weekly radio address, Bush said that next week, officials will “discuss our need for a comprehensive national energy strategy that reduces our dependence on foreign oil.”

“This strategy will encourage more efficient technologies, make the most of our existing resources, help global energy consumers like China and India reduce their own use of hydrocarbons, encourage conservation and develop promising new sources of energy such as hydrogen, ethanol and biodiesel,” Bush said, calling the focus one that would “strengthen the long-term economic security of our nation.”

Bush more specifically said he would be touting “the benefits of biodiesel, an alternative fuel that will help our country achieve greater energy independence.”
