President’s Energy Initiative Falls Short

In his State of the Union Address this week, President Bush offered a declaration few expected; the U.S. is addicted to oil. He then went on to propose an outwardly broad energy initiative aimed at reducing our reliance on foreign sources of energy. His suggestions included an accelerated use of renewable energy, including solar, cellulosic and switchgrass-derived biofuels, wind power, and even increased research into plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles. The plan however, was widely received as long on rhetoric but short on substance.
