President to tout energy initiatives

Record-high gasoline prices have dropped, yet there are fears that another surge is around the corner. Larger heating bills this winter are still socking it to American wallets.
Amid those anxieties, President Bush is making it “energy week” in his administration, and he and top Cabinet officials plan to crisscross the country to tout a package of energy initiatives highlighted in last month’s State of the Union address.
With the renewed focus on an issue of top concern to Americans, they hope to keep high energy costs from dampening consumer enthusiasm and the country’s economic revival — and to prevent Democrats from using it as a potent weapon in this fall’s congressional elections.
