Bush's 2001 "Energy Plan" - a walk down memory lane

[Solly Mack]

In light of Bush promoting his domestic agenda, that safe harbor of sweet nothings (unless you're an energy corporation) and feel good platitudes, in hopes of gaining some favor with the American people after he has failed miserably with his war for lies.

Bush energy plan looks to future

"The plan, developed by a task force led by Vice President Dick Cheney..."

• Executive orders and agency reviews aimed at easing regulations the industry says slow the siting and licensing of power plants and gas refineries.

• A review of the Clinton administration's interpretation of "new source review rules" that the coal industry and refiners say discourage them from making technological and other improvements because they run the risk of tougher environmental rules. (Bush plan calls for more coal burning plants)

• Opening parts of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration, and encouraging the Interior and other departments to look at opening other federal lands now off-limits to energy exploration. (More details on energy exploration)

• Officials say the plan includes $10 billion over 10 years for tax incentives including hybrid vehicle purchases, methane gas development and solar power cell installation. (More details on hybrid vehicles)


Remarks by the President to Capital City Partnership

"These events are challenging what had become a fact of life in America, the routine, everyday expectation that when you flick on a light switch, the light will come on. Californians are learning, regrettably, that sometimes when you flick on the light switch, the light does not come on, at any price.

I'm deeply concerned about the impact of blackouts on the daily lives of the good people of the state of California. And my administration is committed to helping California.

My administration has developed a sane national plan to help meet our energy needs this year and every year.

Vice President Cheney and many members of my Cabinet spent months analyzing our problems, and seeking solutions."

1. Peruse the reports and comments. Notice the emphasis on natural gas

and then go search for the nations with lots of natural gas



also, nothing has really changed...Bush is just rehashing his safety net speeches...appeals to the public when all else fails.
